Psilocybin could reverse effects of brain injuries resulting from intimate partner violence, rat study findsThe term intimate partner violence (IPV) refers to physical, sexual or psychological abuse perpetrated by an individual on their romantic partner or spouse. Victims of IPV who are violently attacked and physically abused on a regular basis can sometimes present injuries that have lasting consequences on their mood, mental processes and behavior.

See the alarming extent of NIH and NSF funding cuts in 2025In 2025, the Trump administration froze or ended about 5,300 NIH and NSF research grants totaling over $5 billion in unspent funds, a decision that reshaped many fields of science.

Google’s new Search feature lets you plan and book your trip using AIGoogle is adding new AI-powered planning tools to Search, including Canvas itineraries, global flight-deal suggestions, and booking for restaurants. With these updates, you can plan trips, compare options, and start bookings directly inside Search instead of juggling multiple travel sites.

Google Vids now lets you use a few advanced Gemini-powered tools for freeGoogle is expanding access to some of Google Vids' advanced Gemini-powered features to all users with a Gmail account.

New gen AI features — and a new, no-cost option — are coming to Vids.Today, we’re bringing more generative AI tools to Google Vids with an all-new experience that lets you turn images into short videos, powered by Veo 3. Paid Google Works…

Stuff for Nov 19, 2025.pdf

AI can improve mental health questionnaires by detecting overlaps and redundanciesLarge language models can help improve questionnaires used to diagnose mental illness by optimizing symptom generalizability and reducing redundancy. They can even contribute to new conceptualizations of mental disorders. That is the result of an international study led by Professor Dr. Joseph Kambeitz and Professor Dr. Kai Vogeley from the University of Cologne's Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne.

Amazon scorpion venom shows stunning power against breast cancerScientists are turning venom, radioisotopes, engineered proteins, and AI into powerful new tools against cancer. From Amazonian scorpions yielding molecules that kill breast cancer cells as effectively as chemotherapy, to improved fibrin sealants and custom-grown bioactive factors, researchers are pushing biotechnology into uncharted territory. Parallel teams are advancing radiotheranostics that diagnose and destroy tumors with precision, while others forge experimental vaccines that train the immune system using hybrid dendritic cells.

Scientists Have Taught Bumblebees To Understand Morse CodeCourtesy: (wvclarke/iNaturalist, CC BY-NC 4.0) Scientists have shown that bumblebees can learn to recognize a simple version of Morse code made from l

Secret underwater language of Hawaiian monk seals has 25 new callsScientists have revealed that Hawaiian monk seals produce far more underwater vocalizations than previously believed. Their newly discovered 25-call repertoire includes complex combinations and a rare foraging-related call. These findings highlight an intricate acoustic world unfolding beneath the waves. The research opens the door to better protection strategies as human-made ocean noise continues to rise.

Wine grape still carries molecular memory of its ancestry after 400 years, study findsAbout 400 years ago, a cross between cabernet franc and sauvignon blanc gave birth to cabernet sauvignon. Today, cabernet sauvignon is the world's most-planted wine grape, dominating vineyards from Napa to Bordeaux. New research from the University of California, Davis, reveals that the grape still carries a kind of gene memory of its parents.

Quantum teleportation between photons from two distant light sources achievedEveryday life on the internet is insecure. Hackers can break into bank accounts or steal digital identities. Driven by AI, attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Quantum cryptography promises more effective protection. It makes communication secure against eavesdropping by relying on the laws of quantum physics. However, the path toward a quantum internet is still fraught with technical hurdles.
