Last update: 5 hours agoAI-Driven Chemistry: University of Newcastle scientists are trialling two advanced chemistry robots, part of a NSW network of six AI-enabled platforms meant to rapidly test thousands of chemical combinations for new medicines, critical minerals, water treatment, and manufacturing. Health Risks: A new study links long-term melatonin use in chronic insomnia to about a 90% higher heart failure risk, while another large UK Biobank analysis ties chronic stress to higher inflammation and increased heart attack and stroke risk. Early-Life Biology: Tracking gut bacteria in 800+ infants over six years, researchers report stunted microbiome development is associated with a threefold higher Type 1 diabetes risk. Cancer Prognosis: A JAMA Network Open study finds tumor blood-vessel shape and markers can help predict colon cancer survival. Space & Fundamental Physics: At CERN’s LHC, physicists expanded the search for microscopic black holes and found no signal, tightening constraints on theories. Neuroscience Infrastructure: UVM is launching a national brain observatory with NSF funding to map tiny nervous-system structures using imaging, AI, and computing. Climate Tech in Motion: A solar-powered uncrewed vessel begins a 22,000km Antarctica lap to measure ocean and atmospheric carbon dioxide.
