Sharpest image of the sun ever captured! | Space photo of the day for Aug. 10, 2026
An international team of researchers using the U.S. National Science Foundation's Inouye Solar Telescope has captured the highest-resolution view of the sun's surface.
Sixteen AI-designed viruses offer a new route against drug-resistant bacteria
In a world first, scientists led by a team from Stanford University have created 16 viable viruses that do not exist in nature and were designed by AI. Their experiment, which is published in Science, could help in the fight against superbugs by allowing researchers to design cus
'Lying mirror' uses structured surfaces to conceal optical information
Mirrors normally reveal what is placed in front of them, even when their curvature distorts a reflection. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have introduced a different optical concept: a "lying mirror" that hides information carried by an input image
Type 2 diabetes in young women increasingly common
British researchers say rates of type 2 diabetes are growing most among women under 40. The disease is often underdiagnosed in women or diagnosed too late to reverse the condition's progression.
These startups are chasing the next big thing in LLMs
MIT Technology Review’s What’s Next series looks across industries, trends, and technologies to give you a first look at the future. You can read the rest of them here. Way back in the summer of 2017, AI researchers at Google put out a paper called “Attention Is All You Need,” in
New catalyst with 75% less platinum promises to reduce the cost of hydrogen fuel cells
The high cost of platinum is one of the main barriers to the wider adoption of hydrogen fuel cells. Now, researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a catalyst that delivers the same performance while using 75% less of this expensive metal. The study, published in Ele
Researchers develop a new catalyst to convert CO₂ into ethanol using electricity
A research team led by Professor Hyoyoung Lee of the Department of Chemistry at Sungkyunkwan University has developed a new catalyst that converts carbon dioxide into ethanol with high selectivity. The study, titled "Atomic-scale Cu–Zn synergy directs asymmetric C–C coupling for
Drought-hardy ryegrass raises new weed management challenge
A study by La Trobe University researchers has found annual ryegrass, the most damaging weed in Australian grain systems, can adjust its growth and reproduction to survive under drought stress, making it potentially harder to manage as climate conditions become more variable.
Study shows AI could support low-cost foot health technology
Researchers have demonstrated that AI tools could play an important part in developing simpler, lower-cost technologies for monitoring foot health, particularly in settings where access to specialized equipment may be limited. The research is published in Sensors.
Walking and weight training alone are not enough for strong bones—football and handball ma
When it comes to maintaining healthy bones, how intensely we exercise may matter more than how much we exercise, according to researchers at Semmelweis University. Their study, published in Sports Medicine – Open, found that bone formation was stimulated most effectively by activ
How 'good' bacteria from fecal transplants reduce peanut allergy
Some 33 million Americans have severe food allergies. Now, researchers at Boston Children's Hospital may have found a promising solution. In a small clinical trial, Rima Rachid, M.D., director of the Food Allergy Program and the Allergen Immunotherapy Program, and Talal Chatila,
