Researchers in Romania have made a groundbreaking discovery by analyzing diaries and documents from 16th century Transylvania to reconstruct the climate of the region during the Little Ice Age. The study found that the region experienced heat and droughts in the first half of the century, followed by increased rainfall. The findings offer a unique…
Researchers from Sweden and Estonia have discovered a new antiviral mechanism using nanoparticles, which could potentially tackle future viral outbreaks. The team found that triethanolamine terminated titania (TATT) nanoparticles showed significant antiviral activity against the enveloped swine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), but not against the non-enveloped encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV). The researchers propose that the antiviral…
Tech giant OpenAI has unveiled a pay-for-access tool called ‘deep research’, which synthesizes information from dozens or hundreds of websites into a cited report several pages long. This tool, similar to Google’s released in December, acts as a personal assistant, doing the equivalent of hours of work in tens of minutes. Scientists are divided on…
Metabolomics, the study of small molecules within cells, is transforming the biotech industry. Companies like Akero Therapeutics, Holoclara, and MAX BioPharma are leveraging metabolomics to develop innovative treatments for diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), allergic and autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammation. These companies are using metabolomics to identify novel biomarkers, understand disease mechanisms,…

Jon Nelson, a marketing professional and father of three, has been living with treatment-resistant depression for years. Despite trying various treatments, he was on the verge of giving up until he opted for an experimental deep brain stimulation procedure. The surgery involved implanting electrodes in his brain to electrically stimulate the brain and change the…
Google has expanded its AI-based note-taking and research assistant, NotebookLM Plus, to individual users subscribed to the Google One AI Premium plan. This move comes after its debut for enterprises on Google Cloud and via Google Workspace. The paid version offers higher usage limits and premium features, including 5 times more usage than the free…
Researchers at the University of Michigan have made a groundbreaking discovery that challenges the long-held belief that organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices degrade under high-energy radiation and sub-atomic particle bombardments in space environments. The study found that OPV cells made from certain materials can withstand such conditions, opening up new possibilities for lightweight, robust, and radiation-resilient…
A recent survey of nearly 5,000 researchers worldwide suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) tools will become widely accepted in scientific research and publishing within the next two years. The majority of respondents believe that AI can already outperform humans in tasks such as reviewing large sets of papers, summarizing research findings, and detecting errors in…
BitconeMine, a leading cloud mining company, has made a significant shift towards sustainable energy by relying on renewable sources such as solar, wind, and hydro power. This move is expected to reduce the environmental impact of energy-intensive mining processes and increase profitability for users. The company offers various contract packages with unique return on investment,…
