PathogenFinder2 is a new AI tool developed by researchers at DTU in Denmark, in collaboration with international partners, to determine whether an unfamiliar bacterium possesses genetic characteristics associated with the ...
Phys.org / NASA's Artemis II mission will take an astronaut crew around the Moon: The long road to launch
NASA is once again shooting for the moon, for the first time since the 1970s. As soon as April 2026, NASA will launch its Artemis II mission, using the Space Launch System heavy lift rocket to send a crewed spacecraft, called ...
Medical Xpress / Designing global flu vaccines? Studies suggest common IGHD deletions may block key antibodies
Inherited variations in antibody genes can affect how we respond to infections and vaccines, show two new studies from Karolinska Institutet published in the journal Immunity. The researchers have mapped immune gene variation ...
Phys.org / SWOT satellite reveals hidden tsunami signals linked to near trench processes of the Kamchatka earthquake
Improving tsunami hazard assessments depends on understanding what happens at the moment an earthquake ruptures beneath the seafloor, especially near deep-ocean trenches where measurements are often scarce. When a powerful ...
Phys.org / Sediment core reveals 10,800 years of precipitation history in the Sahara
The analysis of a sediment core from an oasis lake in Chad provides new insights into the history of precipitation in the Sahara. The study, led by the University of Cologne, shows that a prolonged wet phase, which lasted ...
Tech Xplore / AI overly affirms users asking for personal advice, study finds
In a new study published in Science, Stanford computer scientists showed that artificial intelligence large language models are overly agreeable, or sycophantic, when users solicit advice on interpersonal dilemmas. Even when ...
Medical Xpress / Food fortification already prevents 7 billion nutrient gaps annually, but we could triple its impact
Fortifying staple foods with essential vitamins and minerals is a cheap and effective way to ensure that people have access to nutrients that may be lacking in their normal diets. These efforts have countered debilitating ...
