Researchers at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, have made a breakthrough in proton therapy by developing a method to measure the linear energy transfer (LET) of proton beams. This advancement could lead to more effective cancer treatment by reducing LET in healthy tissue while maintaining or increasing it within the target…
A recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour has found that chatbots, specifically large language models (LLMs), are more persuasive in online debates than humans, especially when they can personalize their arguments using information about their opponent. The study involved 900 participants in the United States who debated with either a human or OpenAI’s GPT-4…

Throne, an Austin-based startup, has raised $4 million in seed financing to develop an AI-powered toilet device that monitors gut health conditions. The device uses computer vision and AI software to analyze indicators of chronic conditions, hydration, and urological function. Throne plans to launch the device in January 2026, with a pre-production working prototype currently…
Physicists at CERN have successfully completed a “test run” for transporting antimatter across the European particle-physics facility, paving the way for more precise measurements of the differences between matter and antimatter. This breakthrough could help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: why our universe appears to be made up almost entirely of matter….
Mathematicians at the University of Oxford have finally solved a 60-year-old problem posed by the renowned mathematician Paul Erdős, shedding new light on the mysteries of addition. The breakthrough, achieved by graduate student Benjamin Bedert, reveals that in any set of integers, there exists a large subset of numbers that must be sum-free. This discovery…
In response to the Trump administration’s deep cuts to research budgets and dismantling of science agencies, countries worldwide are launching initiatives to attract US research talent. The European Research Council has doubled its start-up funding for researchers moving to Europe, while the European Commission has announced a €500 million programme to make Europe a magnet…
