A shingles vaccine may also help reduce dementia risk

A shingles vaccine may also help reduce dementia risk

The researchers explored how vaccination against shingles — an illness that develops when the virus causing chicken pox reactivates later in life — might influence dementia risk, finding a more prominent effect in women than in men.


Extreme weather could disrupt China’s renewable energy boom

Extreme weather could disrupt China’s renewable energy boom

Wind, solar and hydropower currently make up about half of China’s power generation capacity, and are expected to increase to almost 90 per cent by 2060, when the country has pledged to reach “carbon neutrality”.


Physicists have confirmed a new mismatch between matter and antimatter

Physicists have confirmed a new mismatch between matter and antimatter

Two protons (indicated with p’s) collide at the LHCb experiment, producing a lambda-b baryon comprised of three quarks — dubbed up (u), down (d) and bottom (b) — that decays into various other particles (colored lines).


Current AI models a ‘dead end’ for human-level intelligence, scientists agree

Current AI models a ‘dead end’ for human-level intelligence, scientists agree

All of these bottlenecks have presented major challenges to companies working to boost AI’s performance, causing scores on evaluation benchmarks toplateau and OpenAI's rumored GPT-5 model to never appear, some of the survey respondents said.

‘Star Wars’ holds clues to making speedier spacecraft in the real world

A former intern at Audubon magazine and Atlanta’s NPR station, WABE 90.1 FM, he has reported a wide range of science stories for radio, print, and digital media.


An early hint of cosmic dawn has been seen in a distant galaxy

An early hint of cosmic dawn has been seen in a distant galaxy

Over the next few hundred million years, as stars began to shine, their light ionised the hydrogen and helium, enabling photons to flow freely and making the universe transparent, though the exact timing of this is uncertain.


This never-before-seen eye cell could help restore lost vision

This never-before-seen eye cell could help restore lost vision

When transplanted right into the retina of computer mice with an illness comparable to retinitis pigmentosa, the stem cells from the organoids turned into the retinal cells needed to spot and process light signals. These new retinal cells inevitably enhanced the vision of the mice, contrasted with rats that didn’t obtain any transplanted cells. Emily...


An mRNA cancer vaccine may offer long-term protection

An mRNA cancer vaccine may offer long-term protection

In a small clinical trial involving pancreatic cancer patients, the vaccine spurred a strong immune response in eight out of 16 participants, generating a legion of red flag–targeting T cells.


‘Shining anus’ volcano in Tonga coughs up cloud of smoke during recent eruption — Earth from space

‘Shining anus’ volcano in Tonga coughs up cloud of smoke during recent eruption — Earth from space

However, the smoke in the image, which was pumping out of a volcanic cone north of the crater lake, known as Lofia, is a reminder that the island is still very much active and could blow its top once again in the future, according to NASA's Earth Observatory.


Human memory is flawed. But a new book says that’s OK

Human memory is flawed. But a new book says that’s OK

Perhaps the comparison speaks to me because I have watched my kids create elaborate villages of Lego bricks, only to be dismantled, put away (after much nagging) and reconstructed, always with a similar overall structure but with minor and occasionally major changes.


Have we vastly underestimated the total number of people on Earth?

Have we vastly underestimated the total number of people on Earth?

Josias Láng-Ritter and his colleagues at Aalto University, Finland, were working to understand the extent to which dam construction projects caused people to be resettled, but while estimating populations, they kept getting vastly different numbers to official statistics.
