In a new roundup of promising advances in quantum physics, researchers are revealing the upcoming cutting-edge studies they hope will finally lead to reconciling the quantum framework with the pesky issue of its unclear relationship to gravity. Quantum physics may have weathered 100 years of scientific examination, with relevance to everything from the periodic table to the shine of stars …

Goldman researchers warn of an unfriendly asymmetry: Why the next big market move may be down.  MarketWatch The Market Looks Shaky. Put Options Can Protect You, Goldman Says.  Barron’s Goldman Sachs says the risk of stock-market decline has suddenly spiked  MSN After successfully warning of the sharp drop in U.S. stocks in April, Goldman Sachs’ internal model is flashing red again!  富途牛牛 Goldman Sachs …

With help from artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have designed novel antibiotics that can combat two hard-to-treat infections: drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae and multi-drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Using generative AI algorithms, the research team designed more than 36 million possible compounds and computationally screened them for antimicrobial properties. The top candidates they discovered are structurally distinct from any existing antibiotics, and they appear …

Japanese regulators just quietly gave researchers there a historic OK to generate human embryos from stem cells in the lab — no ovaries or testes needed. Scientists in Japan and around the world are quickly working toward making viable human eggs and sperm from stem cells, a process called in vitro gametogenesis, or IVG. Those stem cell-derived sperm and eggs …

In an ischemic stroke (the most common type), blood flow is blocked to a portion of the brain, depriving it of oxygen. This causes the immediate, recognizable symptoms of stroke: muscle weakness on one side of the body or face, slurred speech, and loss of balance.   But the brain damage that occurs from this lack of oxygen isn’t temporary – …

A massive earthquake that struck Myanmar in Southeast Asia in March ruptured a much longer section of a fault line than scientists had previously thought possible. The 7.7 to 7.9 magnitude quake originated in central Myanmar near Mandalay but ruptured some 317 miles along the Sagaing fault, causing damage as far away as Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and …

Researchers with the Virginia Cancer Screening Research Network are looking for participants for a study that’s putting a new way of screening for cancer to the test. Through the Vanguard Study, they will determine if multi-cancer detection tests can effectively screen for 10 different types of cancer, including breast, prostate and lung. The study is open to people across Virginia …

Social platforms like Facebook and X exacerbate the problem of political and social polarization, but they don’t create it. A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands put AI chatbots in a simple social media structure to see how they interacted with each other and found that, even without the invisible hand of the …

Exploring the depths of the ocean is a captivating and mysterious journey, revealing unexpected wonders that defy human comprehension. One such phenomenon is the “whale fall,” a life-sustaining event that happens when the remains of a giant creature, such as a whale, sink to the ocean floor, creating a temporary oasis for deep-sea organisms. This event was vividly captured in …
