Scientists have spotted two humpback whales that made separate, record-breaking crossings between Australia and Brazil.
Medical Xpress / Some patient groups are far more vulnerable to near-perfect privacy attacks from medical AI
From detecting pneumonia on a chest X-ray to assessing whether a dark spot on the skin is benign or malignant, medical AI systems are playing an increasingly important role in clinical diagnosis. Unfortunately, the models ...
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Predicting earthquakes; two types of water; observing event horizons
Howdy, pards, here's a quick roundup of the week's science news: Moose, previously thought to be a transplanted species, are actually native to Colorado. A digital twin of a two-year-old child's brain revealed neural signatures ...
Medical Xpress / A species of gut bacteria could ease anxiety and diarrhea-predominant IBS
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a condition characterized by abdominal pain, bloating and changes in bowel movements, estimated to affect between 10% and 15% of people worldwide. Past studies suggest that in many cases ...
Phys.org / New workflow transforms nonfunctional protein scaffolds into active enzymes
Enzymes are regarded as the key to sustainable chemistry. Despite major advances in protein design, creating artificial enzymes from scratch has so far remained a grand challenge. A research team at the University of Bayreuth, ...
Phys.org / Lavatory shaft reveals the cost of 17th‑century vanity in Germany
Four goose skulls were pulled from a former toilet shaft in Brandenburg, Germany, each of them riddled with strange holes. As it turns out, these holes were the telltale signs of fancy feathered crests, making them the first ...

A new study analyzing more than 11,000 YouTube videos and comments found that online narratives surrounding avian influenza evolved alongside major outbreak developments, including increasing reports of infections in mammals, ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop HIV-prevention guide without the stigma of asking about risk
The most useful thing about a new HIV prevention guide may be a question it never asks: Why do you want to know about pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP? In a pilot study at three clinics, a two-page decision aid helped people ...
Phys.org / Scientists find molecular-level evidence for two structures in liquid water
A study published in Nature Physics provides new molecular-level evidence from simulations that liquid water is not a single uniform substance, but a constantly shifting mixture of two distinct microscopic structures.
Phys.org / A large, harmless asteroid will zip past Earth this weekend
A large asteroid will zip past Earth this weekend, but don't worry: It poses no danger.
Phys.org / Thirsty desert lizards inspire a new water-harvesting system
When the desert horned lizard (Phrynosoma platyrhinos) is thirsty, it cannot just lap up water or scoop it up like a bird because it lives in environments where water is extremely scarce. Typically, it's found in damp soil ...
Medical Xpress / Hospital AI tool predicts low blood sugar in patients up to 24 hours in advance
Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators developed an AI-based model that can identify hospitalized patients at risk of low blood sugar up to 24 hours before the condition occurs. The long short-term memory (LSTM) ...
