Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system capable of reading people’s thoughts by measuring brain activity and converting it into text—a development that triggers worries about privacy and freedom. The study (pdf), published in the journal Nature Neuroscience on May 1, used a transformer model, similar to the one that powers OpenAI’s ChatGPT artificial intelligence…
ChatGPT Medical Support Better Than Humans, Worries About Missing Human Touch Remain
AI chatbot ChatGPT’s responses to medical queries scored higher ratings compared to human responses, according to a new study. However, researchers raised concerns that the mechanization of such activities could take away the feeling of human support.

They are all red flags that some medical and dental experts say are evidence of a pervasive problem related to our modern lifestyle. The human jaw is shrinking, they…
Key Radar Antenna Stuck on Europe’s Jupiter-Bound Spacecraft
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—A critical antenna is jammed on a Jupiter-bound spacecraft launched two weeks ago, the European Space Agency reported Friday. The 52-foot (16-meter) radar antenna on Juice unfolded only one-third of the way following liftoff, according to the space agency. Engineers suspect a tiny pin may be protruding. Flight controllers in Germany plan to…
Recent Case of Severe Microwave Syndrome Reveals Problems With 5G
After a 5G base station was installed within 60 meters of her second-floor apartment, a middle-aged, otherwise healthy, Swedish woman developed debilitating symptoms corresponding with radiofrequency (RF)/microwave syndrome, researchers at the Environment and Cancer Research Foundation (ECRF) in Sweden reported this month. This was the third such case the researchers had documented. According to their…
MIT Scientists Create New Nanoparticle Sensors to Detect Early Cancer via Simple Paper Test
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed nanoparticle sensors that could diagnose early-stage cancer through a simple urine test on a strip of paper. The scientists said these sensors, designed to detect many cancerous proteins, could also distinguish the type of tumor, how it responds to treatment, and whether it has metastasized….

In this series, we explore the contentious findings surrounding fluoridation of the U.S. public water supply and answer the question of whether water fluoridation poses a risk and what we should do about it. Previously: A cavity epidemic made water fluoridation seem like a public health miracle, but the research that followed provided a mixed…
Chernobyl Dogs Are Different, Scientists Say
There is some evidence to suggest that the dogs living in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) are undergoing rapid evolution due to the harsh conditions they face. A new study looked at the DNA of dogs roaming near Chernobyl nuclear power plant ruins and discovered that their exposure to nuclear radiation might have been the reason…
New Image Reveals Violent Events Near a Supermassive Black Hole
WASHINGTON—Expanding upon the historic first images of black holes, scientists on Wednesday unveiled the first picture showing the violent events unfolding around one of these ravenous cosmic behemoths, including the launching point of a colossal jet of high-energy particles shooting outward into space. The new image was obtained using 16 telescopes at various locations on…
