On Jan. 21, at 12:22 a.m. local time, in the silence and darkness of Chile’s Patagonia region, a camera trap used to monitor wildlife for a project run by the University of Magallanes (UMAG) captured, in 2 seconds, three photographs showing intense lights moving downward. Everyone was baffled. “On a camera located at the edge of a meadow, quite far …

Doctors have launched a clinical trial of a £100 blood test for Alzheimer’s disease in the hope of transforming diagnosis of the devastating condition in the NHS. More than 1,000 patients with suspected dementia are being recruited from memory clinics across the UK to see whether the test leads to faster and more reliable diagnoses and better care for those …

Italy’s Campi Flegrei has been restless again when it comes to earthquakes, and a new AI approach is helping scientists see what the ground is really doing. In a peer-reviewed study, researchers from Stanford University, along with colleagues at INGV Osservatorio Vesuviano and the University of Naples Federico II, reanalyzed continuous seismic records. The team found more than four times …

Plastic pollution is everywhere: in rivers and oceans, in the air and the mountains, even in our blood and vital organs. Most of the public attention has focused on the dangers of microplastics. These are fragments smaller than 5 millimetres. But an even smaller class of fragments, nanoplastics, may pose a greater risk to our health and our environment. With …

Summary: A team of researchers has developed a simple three-minute brainwave test called Fastball EEG that can detect early signs of memory impairment linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Unlike traditional memory tests, it is passive and requires no active participation, making it more objective and accessible. The study showed Fastball could be successfully used outside clinical settings, including in people’s homes, …

Reusable menstrual products are meant to be the safer, greener option. A new, peer-reviewed study finds, however, that this is not always the case. Researchers found PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals” because of their persistence, in a range of period items and incontinence products. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been used …

Summary: A new AI framework can detect neurological disorders by analyzing speech with over 90% accuracy. The model, called CTCAIT, captures subtle patterns in voice that may indicate early symptoms of diseases like Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and Wilson disease. Unlike traditional methods, it integrates multi-scale temporal features and attention mechanisms, making it both highly accurate and interpretable. The findings highlight speech …
