August 2025 (19:00) In sub-Saharan African youths diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, 65 per cent do not have antibodies or genetic risks associated with the disease, suggesting they have a novel non-autoimmune subtype of the disorder(New Scientist)
Mind-reading AI can turn even imagined speech into spoken words 14. August 2025 (18:00) A brain-computer interface has enabled people with paralysis to turn their thoughts directly into words, requiring less effort than older techniques where a physical attempt at speech had to be made(New Scientist)
Why no one can agree on what quantum physics really means 14. August 2025 (17:03) For a century, quantum theory has passed every experimental test, but physicists can’t agree on how to use it to paint a picture of our reality – or even whether that is possible(New Scientist)
2024 saw a record-breaking number of dangerously humid days 14. August 2025 (16:00) As the planet heats up, the atmosphere is holding more moisture – and this is resulting in more days with weather conditions close to the limits of survivability(New Scientist)
