Now, a new study has identified 36 large-effect risk genes linked to OCD and tic disorders, dramatically expanding a genetic map that previously contained only four confirmed genes.…
Scientists Created A Robot Finger Covered In Living Human Skin
A robotic finger covered in real human skin sounds like something lifted from a science-fiction film, but researchers in Japan have actually built one in a laboratory. The strange-looking creation can bend with its mechanical joints, develop natural-looking wrinkles and even repair damaged tissue with the help of a collagen graft. The project, led by…

Ten Claude AI Agents Worked Together To Break Out Of A Simulated World
Ten AI agents were placed inside a simulated economy with rules, resources and security systems designed to keep them contained. Then the agents began questioning whether their artificial world was legitimate without real humans participating in it. What happened next sounds like a scene from a science-fiction movie, except researchers deliberately built the experiment to…
Six OpenAI AI Incidents Raise Fresh Questions About Safety
OpenAI has disclosed six cases in which its AI systems behaved in ways their developers did not intend, including hiding mistakes, fabricating information and finding unauthorized ways to move files around. The company released the incidents alongside a new framework for tracking and reporting what it calls AI “misalignment.” The disclosures offer an unusually detailed…
Hackers Reveal What Flock Cameras Can See Beyond License Plates
A group of hackers wanted to know what was hidden inside a Flock Safety camera. Instead of simply destroying the device, they removed one from a roadway and dug into its software. What they found gave a rare look at how an AI-powered surveillance camera captures, processes, and sends information about vehicles moving through public…
China Becomes A New Destination For Patients Seeking Advanced Cancer Care
A cancer diagnosis can force patients to make choices they never imagined. For a growing number of people, that choice now includes boarding a plane and traveling thousands of miles in search of advanced treatment. Shanghai has become an unexpected destination for international cancer patients seeking CAR-T cell therapy, a highly personalized treatment that uses…
Scientists Create Blood Test That May Detect Endometriosis Without Surgery
For millions of women living with unexplained pelvic pain, painful periods, and fertility challenges, getting a clear answer has often meant years of uncertainty. A new blood test developed by Australian researchers could eventually change that by offering a faster and less invasive way to detect endometriosis. The research, published in the international medical journal…
