Last update: 7 hours agoAI in Health: The UK is putting more than $69 million into five AI research hubs designed to detect conditions such as dementia, heart disease and respiratory infections before symptoms appear; partners, including Garmin, are contributing additional support. Autism Genetics: Researchers have found hundreds of previously overlooked gene segments linked to autism and other neurological conditions. Their machine-learning method could help identify how genetic variants affect these regions; genetic testing currently explains only about 15% of autism diagnoses. Water Treatment: Researchers turned invasive Rhus typhina plant residues into a magnesium-oxide composite that captures fluoride, offering a potential use for unwanted biomass and a new approach to water cleanup. Space Technology: A privately developed Chinese commercial rocket launched four satellites into orbit, adding to the country’s growing commercial space sector. Energy Storage: A reported chemistry breakthrough could advance solid-state batteries, a promising technology that remains difficult to make practical at scale.
