Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, recently shared some big news with his team. He introduced a new group of smart folks joining Meta's AI team. These aren't just any folks; they're some of the brightest minds from other top AI companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Over the last few months, Zucke
Meta, the company behind Facebook, is shaking things up in the world of artificial intelligence. They're creating a new team called Meta Superintelligence Labs, or MSL for short. This team will focus on developing AI that's super smart, maybe even smarter than humans. The big boss at Meta, Mark Zuc
Inside the brain, there's a sneaky fight happening. Glioblastoma, a tough type of brain cancer, is always finding ways to survive. Scientists have spotted a clever trick it uses. A tiny helper inside cells, called SH3GLB1, is part of this trick. It helps cells clean up and recycle their own parts. T
Researchers are exploring a fresh approach to health checks. They want to use heat maps, or thermograms, to spot metabolic syndrome. This condition is a group of risk factors that can lead to serious health problems like heart disease and diabetes. The idea is to create a system that can analyze th
The brain is a busy place, always working to keep you alert or help you sleep. It turns out that special cells called astrocytes play a big role in this switch. These cells are like tiny helpers in the brain. They talk to other brain cells using chemicals called neurotransmitters. One important neur
Talaromycosis, a sneaky fungal infection common in Southeast Asia, has been a challenge to diagnose. The usual method, growing the fungus in a lab, takes too long and often misses the mark. But there's hope on the horizon. Scientists have been cooking up new ways to spot this tricky infection. They
Genes play a big role in how the body handles medicines. One gene, NFIB, has a specific change (rs28379954 T>C) that can affect how much clozapine, a medicine used for treatment-resistant schizophrenia, is in the blood. People with this change need higher doses to feel the medicine's effects. This
WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that uses AI to summarize private messages. This tool, powered by Meta AI, creates a bullet-point list of key points from unread chats. To use it, simply tap the button that usually shows all unread messages, and the AI will generate a summary instead. This fea
Vaping was once seen as a cool way to quit smoking, but it's not as safe as people thought. Many adults who vape still smoke cigarettes, and teens who never smoked are getting addicted to nicotine through vaping. About 11 million Americans vape regularly. While vapes are considered less harmful than
Light is all around us, and scientists are always finding new ways to study it. Recently, they've made a big step forward with tiny lenses that can do what big, bulky machines used to do. These tiny lenses, called metalens arrays, can now look at light in a way that tells us a lot about its properti
