Scientists at USC are launching a new trial to test a tiny stem cell implant that could restore vision in people with advanced dry macular degeneration. The hair-thin patch replaces damaged retinal cells responsible for sharp, central vision. Earlier studies showed the implant was safe and helped some patients see better. Researchers now hope it […]

The event pits middle and high school teams against each other as they try to get handmade devices to accomplish a task.NASA/JPL-Caltech The 2025 Invention Challenge at JPL called on teams to build devices capable of moving about 2
Three years ago, ChatGPT was born. It amazed the world and ignited unprecedented investment and excitement in AI. Today, ChatGPT is still a toddler, but public sentiment around the AI boom has turned sharply negative. The shift began when OpenAI released GPT-5 this summer to mixed reviews, mostly from casual users who, unsurprisingly, judged the
Regular consumption of polyphenol-rich foods like tea, coffee, berries, nuts, and whole grains may significantly support long-term heart health. A decade-long study of more than 3,100 adults found that those who consistently ate polyphenol-packed diets had healthier blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as lower predicted cardiovascular risk.

OpenAI researchers have introduced a novel method that acts as a "truth serum" for large language models (LLMs), compelling them to self-report their own misbehavior, hallucinations and policy violations. This technique, "confessions," addresses a growing concern in enterprise AI: Models can be dishonest, overstating their confidence or covering up the shortcuts they take to arrive
Experiments indicate that pond frogs can consume highly venomous hornets without significant harm, even after multiple stings. Most frogs successfully ate hornets, including the Asian giant hornet. This resilience suggests evolutionary mechanisms that may block venom effects, potentially aiding scientists in understanding pain and toxin tolerance. Source: All Top News — ScienceDaily

Amazon Web Services on Wednesday introduced Kiro powers, a system that allows software developers to give their AI coding assistants instant, specialized expertise in specific tools and workflows — addressing what the company calls a fundamental bottleneck in how artificial intelligence agents operate today.AWS made the announcement at its annual re:Invent conference in Las Vegas.
A large Mayo Clinic study shows that current guidelines fail to detect nearly 90% of people with familial hypercholesterolemia, a common inherited cause of dangerously high cholesterol. Many affected individuals already had early heart disease but never met testing criteria. Routine DNA screening could dramatically expand detection and prevention. The research underscores the need for
