In the world of tiny organisms living in our gut, there's a lot going on. One such organism is the bacterium Desulfovibrio piger. It's found in both healthy people and those with inflammatory conditions. This makes scientists wonder what role it plays in our health. Researchers studied three new st
StratEngine AI is a new tool designed to help consultants and business leaders create strategies faster and more efficiently. It's not here to replace human strategists, but to make their jobs easier by generating strategies based on the information they provide. Once the strategy is ready, the plat
Suicide prevention often focuses on obvious signs like depression or past attempts. But new research shows that half of people who die by suicide don't show these typical warning signs. This means many at-risk individuals might be overlooked. Researchers studied genetic data from over 2, 700 people
AI systems are often tricked by sneaky inputs called adversarial examples. These inputs are tweaked just enough to confuse AI models, but not enough for humans to notice. The tricky part is making these examples work well on different AI systems without being too obvious. A new method called Diff-A
Catalysts are like superheroes in the fight against air pollution. They help break down nasty gases like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. But even superheroes have their kryptonite. In this case, it's something called catalyst deactivation. This happens when the catalyst gets worn out
Childhood obesity is a serious issue. It's not just about how someone looks or feels now. It can have long-term effects on health. One big concern is how it affects the liver. Specifically, it might lead to a condition called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This is
The COVID-19 pandemic took a toll on everyone, but it hit healthcare workers especially hard. Surgeons in training, known as residents, faced unique challenges that made their jobs even tougher. A recent study dug into their experiences and found some eye-opening stuff. First off, these residents h

Women tend to live longer than men, but they often face more health challenges in their later years. To understand why, researchers studied 96 women aged 18 to 80. They looked at body composition, muscle strength, and hormone levels. As women age, their muscle mass and strength decrease. This happe
There's a fascinating link between sisters having babies later in life and their brothers living longer. This isn't about lifestyle choices but likely about genes. Studies show that women who have children in their 40s and 50s without fertility help tend to live longer after menopause. This got scie
