A protein that evolved long before the human circulatory system may help unlock stronger cancer treatments。 When C3 is produced inside tumors, it blocks immune-suppressing cells and gives immunotherapy a better chance to work。 Researchers were even able to recreate this effect in resistant tumors, significantly improving survival in mice
Chemists have developed a catalyst that breaks a long-standing rule governing which molecules receive electrons during chemical reactions。 By releasing electrons directly into solution, the technique could unlock reactions—and potentially useful new molecules—that were previously out of reach
Tech companies are not modelling their own claims of the technology giving people more free time
Trump determined to link life-saving shots to autism, despite science and political risk
More than 5,000 years after his death, Ötzi the Iceman is still hosting a remarkable mix of ancient and modern microorganisms。 Researchers separated microbes that lived in his body during his lifetime from those that arrived after his death, uncovering traces of his original gut bacteria and cold-loving yeasts that may have survived alongside him i
Deep underground, bacteria may be capable of doing something remarkable: trapping toxic uranium before it spreads。 When researchers fed microbes in uranium-contaminated mine water with glycerol, about 95% of the dissolved uranium disappeared within 130 days。 The bacteria helped convert it into an unusually stable uranium compound that had rarely be
A mathematician working at Anthropic says he used the AI model Claude Fable 5 to uncover a remarkably simple counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture, a famous problem that has resisted mathematicians for more than a century。 The result shows that the conjecture is false in three dimensions and above, although the original two-dimensional version
A person’s sleeping brain may reveal warning signs of dementia long before memory problems begin。 Researchers used machine learning to analyze EEG recordings from about 7,000 adults and found that an older-than-expected “brain age” was tied to a sharply higher dementia risk。 Every additional 10 years of brain aging raised that risk by nearly 40%
Scientists have generated quantum entanglement directly from sunlight, potentially offering a lower-energy alternative to the lasers normally used in quantum technology。 Their outdoor experiment produced entangled photons with about 94% similarity to an ideal state。 The result could pave the way for simpler quantum satellites, secure communications
Stress may literally scramble the brain’s internal GPS。 Researchers found that cortisol, a hormone released during stress, made people significantly worse at navigating a virtual environment and disrupted the precise activity of grid cells, specialized brain cells that help us understand where we are in space。 When landmarks were missing, this navi
There are endless ways to record and transcribe your virtual meetings with AI。 Here’s an option that’s free and open source
Several enormous Megalodon vertebrae thought to have been destroyed in 1989 were found sitting unnoticed on a museum shelf。 Their analysis strengthens evidence that the giant shark could exceed 24 meters (79 feet) in length and live for nearly a century。 Researchers also estimate that its newborns may have measured an astonishing 3
NASA’s Curiosity rover has entered a Martian valley covered by an astonishing “sea” of tiny polygon-shaped fractures。 The honeycomb patterns, each only a few inches wide, stretch across the landscape and even wrap around a nearby 20-foot-tall butte
WIRED spoke with Tucker Bryant, an artist and former Google employee who created ChatTJB to get people to reflect on the “strange moment” we’re in
Andre Lavoie joined SpaceX in 2009 as an engineer, now he's looking to cash in his shares in the company
A new software update builds on WhatsApp’s group chat chops by adding anonymous polls and introducing an easier way to start a smaller private chat away from the larger group
Atomically thin semiconductors could enable dramatically smaller and more efficient chips, but a stubborn problem at the boundary between materials has limited their performance。 Researchers have now engineered that atomic interface to protect electron flow while still allowing extremely thin insulating layers。 The resulting transistors delivered a
Unitree Robotics wants to raise about $900 million in an I。 that tests market interest in humanoid robots, a technology that wows but has yet to prove its viability
Xteink’s new X4 Pro e-reader is its best yet, but the lack of an ebook store can be limiting
Elon Musk told investors that people were "underestimating" his company
