NASA and SpaceX's 34th commercial resupply mission launches in May, delivering 6,500 lbs of supplies and three key experiments: ODYSSEY, STORIE, and Laplace to the ISS.
Mozilla's AI Mythos found 271 Firefox vulnerabilities with almost no false positives, overcoming earlier hallucination problems with custom harness and model improvements.
Cyberattack on Canvas disrupts US schools during finals. ShinyHunters claimed responsibility; data like emails and student IDs accessed, but not passwords or finances. Instructure restored service after temporarily taking platform offline.
A clinical trial found that lubiprostone, a constipation drug, slows chronic kidney disease by altering gut bacteria to boost spermidine, protecting mitochondria and preserving kidney function.
HSL protein has a second job in the nucleus regulating fat cell health; its absence causes lipodystrophy, not obesity, rewriting decades of fat science.
Restoring youthful gut bacteria reversed liver aging in mice—reducing inflammation, DNA damage, and cancer risk by suppressing the MDM2 gene. This opens possibilities for human anti-aging therapies.
Scientists discovered TRPV4 acts as a 'stop scratching' signal in the brain; mice missing it scratched less but couldn't stop, offering new clues for treating chronic itch.
Scientists at the University of Rochester transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, boosting high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which reduced cancer, inflammation, and extended lifespan.
Go 1.26 introduces enhanced new() function, self-referencing generics, Green Tea GC by default, go fix rewrite, new crypto packages, and experimental SIMD.
Learn how Go optimizes stack allocations to reduce heap overhead, especially for slices with known sizes, improving performance and garbage collection.
Explore how Go 1.26 refines type construction and cycle detection in the type checker, reducing corner cases and setting the stage for future enhancements.
DNA analysis identifies four more crew members of Franklin's 1845 Arctic expedition. Two new studies add names, bringing total to 12 identified. Background of the doomed voyage and scientific methods explained.
NASA's JPL engineers build on Ingenuity's success to design advanced Mars helicopters for the upcoming SkyFall mission, launching on a nuclear-powered spacecraft.
New research demonstrates coherent transport of spin qubits in quantum dots, enabling mobility. This combines manufacturability of solid-state qubits with flexible connectivity of atomic qubits, promising scalable quantum computing.
A 63.5 million cubic meter landslide in Alaska's Tracy Arm fjord created a 481m tsunami—second highest ever—but no injuries due to early morning timing.
