Einstein wins again! Quarks obey relativity laws, Large Hadron Collider finds
Is there a time of day or night at which nature’s heaviest elementary particle stops obeying Einstein’s rules? The answer to that question, as bizarre as it seems, could tell…
In Trump’s shadow, IPCC set to decide on timing of climate review
Governments are expected to face fraught discussions next week over the timeline of several key climate science reports and the fallout of a reported US exit from the Intergovernmental Panel…
Certain glucose-lowering meds associated with lower risk for COPD exacerbations
For patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are associated with a reduced risk…
Why GPT can’t think like us

Thermal stresses are key to long-term stability
In the experiment, perovskite solar cells were repeatedly cooled to minus 150 degrees Celsius and then heated to plus 150 degrees Celsius. The changes in the microstructure of the perovskite…
Packing lipid nanoparticles with tumor proteins to boost cancer vaccine potency
The cancer vaccine targets the lymph system and enhances its ability to recruit T cells to eliminate tumors. Here, three T cells (blue) are shown attacking and breaking apart a…
