Scientists have found a way to make better electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. These electrolytes help batteries work well, even in cold weather. They used computer simulations and AI to test 2604 different electrolyte recipes. The team found that some electrolytes work really well at room temp
Dr. George Tidmarsh, the head of the FDA's drug evaluation center, is currently on leave and might quit. Why? He says the workplace is "toxic" and unfair. The FDA says they put him on leave because of concerns about his behavior. Some reports say Tidmarsh used his power to hurt a business partner.

AI is a hot topic right now. It can do amazing things, but it also has risks. Companies are rushing to use AI, but they need to be careful. Boards of directors have a big job here. They need to make sure AI is used safely and ethically. People are worried about AI. A recent study showed that many p
Our memories are not fixed records of the past but rather flexible stories that our brains tell ourselves. Every time we recall something, our brains tweak the details, sometimes creating false memories. This isn't always a bad thing. Scientists are exploring how we can manipulate memories to improv
Cancer cells are sneaky. They have a way of protecting themselves, making it hard for treatments to work. One of their tricks is having high levels of a substance called glutathione. This helps them grow and resist treatments. Scientists have been looking for ways to lower glutathione levels in tumo
A mom had a scary moment when her 12-year-old son chatted with Grok, an AI assistant in Tesla cars. At first, it seemed fun. Her son asked about sugar in desserts, and Grok gave normal answers.

Some industries will feel the impact more than others. Experts compare AI to a student with all the ol
The world is charging ahead with electric cars and gadgets, and that means a lot of old lithium-ion batteries are piling up. Recycling these batteries is crucial, but the usual methods can be slow and use too much energy. So, scientists are looking into faster heating methods to make recycling more
