A nano-sized medicine boosts the anti-cancer immune response and eradicates tumors in mice. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, working with colleagues at Northwestern University, have created a noninvasive strategy to target one of the most severe and life-threatening brain cancers. Their method relies on carefully designed nanoscale structures that carry […]Health,Biomedical Engineering,Brain Tumor,Cancer,Glioblastoma,Washington University School of Medicine#Simple #Nasal #Drop #Treat #Deadliest #Brain #Cancer1767925065
Silicon Valley giants like Amazon, Meta, and OpenAI are racing to develop “operating systems” for AI-powered devices—and 2026 is likely the year these efforts will start to take off. The devices are largely built around a future where AI agents can take actions on a user’s behalf, without requiring them to visit an app or website.In theory, this sounds like an idyllic relationship between humans and technology. But it could rewrite the business model for a huge swath of consumer tech companies.Instead of tapping through apps filled with ads and upsells, AI devices promise that a user will be able…
Data security startup Cyera continues on a growth tear. On Thursday, it announced a $400 million Series F funding round at a $9 billion valuation. The New York-based outfit has now raised over $1.7 billion. This funding comes just six months after the previous $540 million round at a $6 billion valuation. The new round was led by funds managed by Blackstone with participation from existing investors including Accel, Coatue, Lightspeed, Redpoint, Sapphire, Sequoia, and others. Cyera offers what it calls data security posture management, a service that helps companies map out where all their sensitive data lives across cloud…
Summary: Economic shocks can influence human biology in ways that only become visible years later. A new long-term analysis links sudden changes in food affordability during early childhood to altered growth and health patterns in adulthood. Rising food prices during economic crises may shape children’s health long after the turmoil ends. When an economic crisis […]Health,Economics,Nutrition,Public Health,University of Bonn#1990s #Financial #Crisis #Stunted #Generation #Children1767921405
Yesterday I wrote about a deal for $50 off the Apple AirPods Pro 3, but if you’re not an iPhone or MacOS user, they won’t do you much good. That’s why today I’ve got a deal for you on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 Earbuds, an excellent pair of earbuds that are direct competition to the AirPods Pro 3. They’re also marked down by $50 to just $250 in the Desert Gold color scheme, with lesser discounts for the Midnight Violet version.BoseQuietComfort Ultra 2 EarbudsBose has always been known for its active noise canceling, and these earbuds improve on that…
CES 2026 is in full swing in Las Vegas, with the show floor open to the public after a packed couple of days occupied by press conferences from the likes of Nvidia, Sony, and AMD and previews from Sunday’s Unveiled event. As has been the case for the past two years at CES, AI is at the forefront of many companies’ messaging, though the hardware upgrades and oddities that have long defined the annual event still have their place on the show floor and in adjacent announcements. We’ll be collecting the biggest reveals and surprises here, though you can still catch the spur-of-the-moment reactions and thoughts from…
Scientists have uncovered how a vitamin A metabolite can suppress anti-cancer immunity. Scientists at the Princeton University Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have uncovered new ways in which a vitamin A-derived molecule, all-trans retinoic acid, interferes with the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. Their work shows that this compound can weaken […]Health,Cancer,Immunology,Molecular Biology,Oncology#Vitamin #Dark #Side #Common #Nutrient #Tumors #Evade #Immune #System1767917747

OpenAI is kicking off the new year with yet another acqui-hire. The AI giant is acquiring the team behind Convogo, a business software platform that helps executive coaches, consultants, talent leaders, and HR teams automate and improve leadership assessments and feedback reporting. An OpenAI spokesperson said the company is not acquiring Convogo’s IP or technology, but rather hiring the team to work on its “AI cloud efforts.” The three co-founders — Matt Cooper, Evan Cater, and Mike Gillett — will join OpenAI as part of what a source familiar with the matter called an all-stock deal. Convogo’s product will be…
Trump administration officials and MAGA world are attempting to rewrite the shooting in Minneapolis.The shooting took place on Wednesday morning when several masked agents—later identified by Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin as members of the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency—approached a vehicle. Video footage shared on social media appears to show a masked agent ask the driver to get out of the vehicle before grabbing the door handle. At this point, the driver appears to reverse, before driving forward and turning. Another masked federal officer, standing near the front of the vehicle, pulls out a gun and fires…
For the past two weeks, X has been flooded with AI-manipulated nude images, created by the Grok AI chatbot. An alarming range of women have been affected by the non-consensual nudes, including prominent models and actresses, as well as news figures, crime victims, and even world leaders. A December 31 research paper from Copyleaks estimated roughly one image was being posted each minute, but later tests found far more. A sample gathered from January 5-6 found 6,700 per hour over the 24-hour period. But while public figures from around the world have decried the choice to release the model without…
For Chinese companies, the bet is that lower prices and more AI features will persuade people to wear smart glasses all day, recording their lives through constant video and audio. If you lower the price to around $200, “people will start to use them every day,” says Brian Chen, general manager of Appotronics’ innovation center. That shift would raise obvious privacy and security concerns that both Rokid and Appotronics have acknowledged, but they see the potential payoff as worth the risk.From Vacuums to CarsSeveral major Chinese electric vehicle companies, including Geely and Great Wall Motor, brought their cars to CES,…
CES is always chock-full of robots, and this year electronics giant LG announced a new bot, dubbed CLOid, that it claims will revolutionize household chores (as in, you won’t have to do them anymore). CLOid is described as an AI-powered home robot, designed to assist its user with a wide variety of domestic tasks — from folding laundry to making breakfast to patrolling a home for signs of trouble. The company says that, eventually, it envisions the device “evolving into an ambient-care agent that supports everyday life.” The bot was announced during LG’s keynote earlier this week, but it was also available…
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is being used to flood X with thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors wearing minimal clothing. Some of this content appears to not only violate X’s own policies, which prohibit sharing illegal content such as child sexual abuse material (CSAM), but may also violate the guidelines of Apple’s App Store and the Google Play store.Apple and Google both explicitly ban apps containing CSAM, which is illegal to host and distribute in many countries. The tech giants also forbid apps that contain pornographic material or facilitate harassment. The Apple App Store says it…
XBrew Lab debuted its countertop nitro beverage machine, EverNitro, at CES this week, offering nitro coffee enthusiasts a more accessible way to enjoy the drink — without the waste and expense of traditional cartridge-based machines. If you’re unfamiliar with nitro coffee, it’s cold brew coffee infused with nitrogen gas. This process creates tiny bubbles, resulting in a silky-smooth, naturally sweeter taste — similar to drinking a Guinness. Many people also note that nitro coffee is less bitter. EverNitro is positioning itself against competitors such as NitroBrew as a long-term more affordable all-in-one solution. “We offer the quality of a commercial…
Liquids and solutions may look simple, but on the molecular scale they are constantly shifting and reorganizing. When sugar dissolves in water, each sugar molecule quickly becomes surrounded by fast moving water molecules. Inside living cells, the situation is even more intricate. Tiny liquid droplets transport proteins or RNA and help coordinate many of the […]Physics,Lasers,Light,Louisiana State University,Spectroscopy#Scientists #Flash #Light #Disappear #Liquid1767903104
