Medical Xpress / Study raises concerns about AI health-prediction models trained on unreliable datasets
Some AI models designed to predict stroke and diabetes risk may be based on datasets whose origins cannot be verified, according to new research. The study, published in BMC Medicine and led by researchers at QUT and the ...
Phys.org / Varroa risk to Tasmanian crop pollination
A study by the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) has highlighted the impact Varroa mites will have on crop pollination in Tasmania if the parasitic mites become established in the state. The study was prompted by the ...
Tech Xplore / Meta plans billions for first AI data center in Canada, largest outside the US
Facebook and Instagram parent Meta said Wednesday it will invest more than US$9.1 billion to build its first artificial intelligence data center in Canada and its largest outside the United States.
Medical Xpress / Huntington's treatment quest reaches first pluripotent stem cell trial, with safety now under review
An update on the first clinical trial evaluating a pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cell therapy for Huntington's disease was presented at the ISSCR 2026 Annual Meeting. The Phase Ib/IIa REGEN4HD study represents ...
Medical Xpress / New approach to gene correction for iron storage disease
Hereditary primary hemochromatosis is caused by a single faulty building block in a gene. This leads to iron overload, which can have serious consequences for organs and joints. In preclinical studies, researchers have already ...
Phys.org / JWST's 'overmassive' early black holes may not be so massive after all
Astronomers studying a population of unusually X-ray-silent and overmassive black holes discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope have found that they may not be as massive as they appear. The new paper, outlining a plausible ...
Phys.org / Planned 1.7 million satellites 'devastating' for astronomy: Study
The 1.7 million satellites that companies are aiming to launch into Earth's orbit in the coming years will have "devastating consequences for astronomy," new research warned Wednesday.
Phys.org / How to protect your pets from New World screwworm
Since the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed the first case of New World screwworm (NWS) in the United States on June 3, pet owners and shelters alike have expressed concern about what this might mean for their animals. ...
Medical Xpress / What do Sardinia's Blue Zone elders do differently that helps them age so well physically and mentally?
People are living longer than they did at the turn of the 20th century, but living well into old age depends on more than a healthy lifestyle. Scientists say it is also shaped by how we think, adapt and connect with others.
Phys.org / Long-theorized electron-on-helium qubit achieves strong coupling to a single microwave photon
Quantum computers, devices that store and process information leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, have been found to be promising for tackling some problems that cannot be solved by classical computers. Quantum ...
Phys.org / Black hole collisions may follow entropy law, offering simpler remnant predictions
When two black holes orbit each other, they eventually spiral inward and collide in one of the most violent phenomena in the universe. The event is so energetic that it significantly distorts the universe around it. It emits ...
Phys.org / Greenland meltwater adds to AMOC weakening, but updated model finds no tipping point in sight
The state of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been a hot topic among climate scientists in recent years. The AMOC is crucial for climate regulation because it pulls warm surface water from the tropics ...
