Metabolomics, the study of small molecules within cells, is transforming the biotech industry. Companies like Akero Therapeutics, Holoclara, and MAX BioPharma are leveraging metabolomics to develop innovative treatments for diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), allergic and autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammation. These companies are using metabolomics to identify novel biomarkers, understand disease mechanisms,…

Jon Nelson, a marketing professional and father of three, has been living with treatment-resistant depression for years. Despite trying various treatments, he was on the verge of giving up until he opted for an experimental deep brain stimulation procedure. The surgery involved implanting electrodes in his brain to electrically stimulate the brain and change the…
Google has expanded its AI-based note-taking and research assistant, NotebookLM Plus, to individual users subscribed to the Google One AI Premium plan. This move comes after its debut for enterprises on Google Cloud and via Google Workspace. The paid version offers higher usage limits and premium features, including 5 times more usage than the free…
Researchers at the University of Michigan have made a groundbreaking discovery that challenges the long-held belief that organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices degrade under high-energy radiation and sub-atomic particle bombardments in space environments. The study found that OPV cells made from certain materials can withstand such conditions, opening up new possibilities for lightweight, robust, and radiation-resilient…
A recent survey of nearly 5,000 researchers worldwide suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) tools will become widely accepted in scientific research and publishing within the next two years. The majority of respondents believe that AI can already outperform humans in tasks such as reviewing large sets of papers, summarizing research findings, and detecting errors in…
Physicists in the UK and Austria have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of quantum communication by entangling thousands of nuclear spins to create a quantum dot qubit. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize quantum communication networks by enabling the reliable storage of entangled states and improving the performance of quantum repeater operations….
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first clinical trial to test the safety of transplanting genetically modified pig kidneys into living people. The trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of this procedure, which could potentially solve the organ crisis and provide a new source of organs for thousands of…
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of a fast radio burst (FRB) originating from an old, dead galaxy, challenging the current understanding of these enigmatic events. The finding suggests that there may be multiple ways to produce FRBs, which could have significant implications for our understanding of the universe. The discovery was made using the…
Physicists at Brown University have made a groundbreaking discovery in condensed-matter research, unveiling a new class of quasiparticles known as fractional excitons. These particles, which defy traditional classification as bosons or fermions, have the potential to revolutionize quantum computing and sensing technologies. The researchers created the fractional excitons using a bilayer structure of graphene and…
US President Donald Trump’s plans to roll back climate regulations and promote fossil fuels could lead to devastating environmental, health, and economic consequences. Researchers project that these policies will raise greenhouse gas emissions, increase air pollution, and lead to thousands of premature deaths annually. The policies could also undermine global efforts to combat climate change…
