AI tool accurately sorts cancer patients by their likely outcomesA new artificial intelligence-based method accurately sorts cancer patients into groups that have similar characteristics before treatment and similar outcomes after treatment, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. The new approach has the potential to enable better patient selection in clinical trials and better treatment selection for individual patients.

Dual-target weight-loss drug is 47% more effective than its rivalThe first clinical trial comparing semaglutide and tirzepatide, two popular, injectable weight-loss drugs, has been published, examining their ability to reduce weight and waist circumference. And one clearly comes out on top.

Machine learning uncovers social risk clusters linked to suicide across the USUsing machine learning technology, a new study has identified three distinct profiles describing social and economic factors that are associated with a higher risk of suicide. Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons led the research that showed suicide rates vary significantly across the three clusters and that the patterns differ geographically across the United States.

Apple Eyes Move to AI Search, Ending Era Defined by GoogleApple Inc. is set to transform web browsing by incorporating AI-powered search engines in Safari, which could end its $20 billion-a-year deal with Goo

Chimpanzee groups drum with distinct rhythmsNew research from a team of cognitive scientists and evolutionary biologists finds that chimpanzees drum rhythmically, using regular spacing between drum hits. Their results show that eastern and western chimpanzees -- two distinct subspecies -- drum with distinguishable rhythms. The researchers say these findings suggest that the building blocks of human musicality arose in a common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans.

FDA Approves Gene-Hacked CRISPR Pigs for Human ConsumptionThe US Food and Drug Administration has approved a type of CRISPR gene-edited pig for human consumption.

Flamingos create water tornados to trap their preyFlamingos standing serenely in a shallow alkaline lake with heads submerged may seem to be placidly feeding, but there's a lot going on under the surface.

Scientists Developed a Questionnaire to Find Out if Your Cat Is a PsychopathWhat, exactly, is your cat thinking? Scientists came up with a questionnaire in 2021 that might give you some idea of where your feline friend fits on what's known as the triarchic model of psychopathy.

Get Ready, Cicada Brood XIV Is Emerging This SpringThe trillions-strong Brood XIV will make its appearance across 15 states after 17 years underground.

Study explores AI's ability to improve differential diagnosis accuracyThe development of more accessible artificial intelligence (AI) models has transformed the field of health diagnoses and medicine, with AI being used for diagnostic accuracy, personalized treatment plans, interpreting medical images, streamlining operations, supporting remote patient monitoring and much more.

Generative AI is on track to shape the future of drug designUsing advanced artificial intelligence, researchers have developed a novel method to make drug development faster and more efficient.

Scientists Discover Wild Birds Behaving Suspiciously Like FriendsThe ability to cooperate and work together is not unique to humans; indeed, it's one of the most successful strategies for collective survival in the whole tree of life, from the give-and-take between symbionts, to the kindness of strangers in the street.

Scientists Say Shock Collar-Like Device Can Treat PTSDUsing a device that functions kind of like a shock collar, researchers say they have found a fascinating, if not grisly, way to treat PTSD.

Vaccine that protects against swine, human and bird flu could eliminate need for yearly shotsAnnual flu shots could become a thing of the past under a new vaccine strategy developed and tested by University of Nebraska–Lincoln virologist Eric Weaver and his laboratory team.

Scientists hail new 'industrially viable technology' that can squeeze hydrogen from seawaterResearchers from the University of Sharjah claim to have developed a novel technology capable of producing clean hydrogen fuel directly from seawater, and at an industrial scale.

David Szauder on Instagram: "Waltz I can’t really waltz, but I’ve always watched with great awe as others spin almost endlessly. At times, it was hard to tell whether they were dancing or fighting — maybe it was a bit of both. I made this video last year, but now I’m showing it again with a few changes. #waltz #waltzer #vintage #vintagefashion #vintagestyle #surrealism #surreal #darksurrealism #dark #strauss #johannstrauss #20s #20sfashion #aivideo #vintagephoto #innocent #lonely #lonliness #collage #collageartworks #artofvisuals #artificialintelligence #artofinstagram #videoart #dance #aiart #nft #trippy Made with @lumalabsai and many vintage materials"18K likes, 304 comments - davidszauder on May 12, 2025: "Waltz I can’t really waltz, but I’ve always watched with great awe as others spin almost endlessly.

More than 99% of the Deep Sea Still Remains a MysteryHumans have observed less than 0.001% of the deep seafloor—an area roughly the size of Rhode Island.

Q&A: AI speeds up search for RNA-targeting drugs, opening new therapeutic possibilitiesThe majority of RNAs in each of our cells don't code for any of the thousands of proteins that make up our bodies. Instead, noncoding RNAs have critical roles in many biological processes—such as gene expression—making them ideal targets for a variety of ailments, including cancers. Despite that, the first RNA-targeting therapeutic in the market was launched only five years ago, and the vast majority of all Food and Drug Administration–approved drugs target proteins.
