The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) has discovered five never-before-seen heavy element isotopes: thulium-182 and 183, ytterbium-186 and 187, and lutetium-190. Researchers found the new isotopes in the debris of collisions between a stable beam of platinum-198 and a carbon target. These results show the potential for FRIB as it increases its capabilities.

The Giant Hummingbird of western South America is not one species but two, according to an international group of researchers. The northern population stays in the high Andes year-round while the southern population migrates from sea level up to 14,000 feet for the nonbreeding months. The two species appear identical.

SEATTLE — May 13, 2024 — Researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have found in pre-clinical studies that an experimental gene therapy for genital and oral herpes removed 90% or more of the infection and suppressed how much virus can be released from an infected individual, which suggests that the therapy would also reduce the spread of the virus.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Aurora supercomputer has officially broken the exascale barrier. Today at the 2024 ISC High Performance conference in Hamburg, Germany, the 63rd edition of the high performance computing Top500 list announced that DOE holds the #1 and #2 positions for most powerful supercomputers in the world. The Top500’s benchmark has long been the world’s measuring stick for large scale supercomputing performance.
University at Albany researchers have been awarded $611,000 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture to develop a new, fast-acting tool for Salmonella detection. Similar to the test strips used to measure pH or detect COVID-19, it will display results on a color-changing panel — purple if positive, red if negative. If successful, the test will reduce the time it takes to detect salmonella in food from days to hours, making it possible to quickly implement preemptive measures to prevent human illness and lost revenue.
Understanding the human exposome — a person’s myriad health exposures over a lifetime — can reveal unknowns about diseases not explained fully by our DNA.
Artificial intelligence will be indispensable in efforts to understand the role of biology and environment in disease and health.
Understanding of the human exposome can inform better risk prediction, disease prevention.

A team led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center developed deep learning models to identify a simple set of rules that govern the activity of promoters – regions of DNA that initiate the process by which genes produce proteins. Their findings, published in Science, could lead to a better understanding of how promoters contribute to gene regulation in health and disease.
New insights into how people perceive the human voice are challenging beliefs about which voices we find attractive.
Previous studies have linked vocal averageness and attractiveness, finding that the more average a voice sounds, the higher it is rated in attractiveness.
However, McMaster researchers have found that average voice characteristics are not inherently appealing, and it may be beneficial to stick out from the crowd.
Duaa Jabari, MD, a neuromuscular medicine specialist with a particular interest in autoimmune neuromuscular disorders and neuromuscular pathology, has joined the Cedars-Sinai Department of Neurology as director of Electromyography.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with three other national labs, have developed a free online platform to help utilities understand how solar energy projects will affect the operation of their power systems. This capability can increase utilities’ confidence in expanding their solar portfolios, protecting reliable delivery of electricity while supporting U.S. efforts to slow climate change.
Les recommandations de la Commission des thérapies chirurgicales de l'ILAE suggèrent de référer chaque patient de moins de 70 ans souffrant d'épilepsie résistante aux médicaments pour une évaluation plus approfondie dès qu'ils ont échoué à deux médicaments anticonvulsivants. Et bien que la chirurgie puisse être une option pour jusqu'à 40 % d'entre eux, moins de 1 % sont référés aux centres d'épilepsie chaque année.

Two physicists at Jefferson Lab have been selected as fellows for the distinguished Oppenheimer Science and Energy Leadership Program (OSELP), considered the highest honor for leadership training among national labs.
One of the most common genetic heart diseases worldwide, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) causes the walls of the left ventricle to become thick and stiff. In about 70 percent of cases, patients with HCM experience obstruction to blood flow, which increases pressures in the heart and can lead to chest pain, shortness of breath and reduced exercise capacity. While invasive interventions can restore selected patients’ quality of life, pharmacologic therapies that are safe, well-tolerated and that reliably improve how patients feel and function remain an unmet need for patients with obstructive HCM.
Now, a phase 3 trial has shown that a cardiac myosin inhibitor called aficamten enhances exercise capacity in patients with HCM and leads to significant relief in the burden of limiting symptoms, improving the quality of patients' lives
Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO) were due to converge on text for a global pandemic agreement during their ninth and final negotiating session in March; however, insufficient progress was made in those two weeks, in terms of finding consensus.
