Phys.org / Editing grapevine DNA could boost resistance to disease and drought
For the first time, a team of researchers from Stellenbosch University (SU) and the Agricultural Research Council has successfully edited the DNA of a woody crop plant in Africa by making precise changes to its genetic material. ...
Tech Xplore / Anthropic says will put AI risks 'on the table' with Mythos model
American AI developer Anthropic plans to "lay the risks out on the table" even as it restricts deployment of a new model dubbed Mythos, whose powerful cybersecurity capabilities raise stark questions for companies and governments.
Medical Xpress / Implanted nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea found to be safe and effective

Phys.org / Ancient teeth reveal clues to the environment humans' early ancestors evolved in millions of years ago
Teeth are like tiny biological time capsules. They tell stories about ancient diets and environments long after their owners have died and landscapes have changed.
Phys.org / Sperm whale clicks follow similar rules to human speech
Sperm whales produce powerful clicks to communicate. To our ears, they sound nothing more than a series of repetitive, mechanical taps. But we could be a step closer to understanding some of their complex communication, as ...
Medical Xpress / Novel 3D brain marker predicts surgical success in dementia-causing hydrocephalus
Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have identified a new geometric marker of the brain ventricles that could help predict which patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) will benefit from ...
Tech Xplore / Adaptive cruise control in most cars may miss Queensland's 2-second safety gap
Adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems in many of the most popular cars in Queensland might not adhere to the State Government's safe following distance recommendations, according to new research from the University of the ...
Phys.org / Ocean eddies move far less carbon than expected, study suggests
The biological carbon pump moves carbon from near the ocean's surface to deeper regions, maintaining the upper ocean's ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere. One component of this system is driven by eddies, or relatively ...
Phys.org / JWST spots methane on a giant exoplanet, but its star may be distorting the signal
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and elsewhere have observed a giant exoplanet known as HATS-75 b. Results of the new observations, published April 8 on the arXiv ...
