A Swedish-led research team at Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital has shown in a new randomized clinical trial that a low dose of the well-known medicine aspirin halves the risk of recurrence after surgery in patients with colon and rectal cancer with a certain type of genetic alteration in the tumor. Every year, nearly…
Astronomers have identified an enormous ‘growth spurt’ in a so-called rogue planet. Unlike the planets in our Solar System, these objects do not orbit stars, free-floating on their own instead. The new observations, made with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT), reveal that this free-floating planet is eating up gas and dust…
Scientists have unveiled a new approach to detecting gravitational waves in the milli-Hertz frequency range, providing access to astrophysical and cosmological phenomena that are not detectable with current instruments. Gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime predicted by Einstein—have been observed at high frequencies by ground-based interferometers such as LIGO and Virgo, and at ultra-low frequencies by pulsar…
Published October 3, 2025 In a day that descended into dirty teeming rainy, Paris was treated to four memorable collection by five non-French designers: American Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough’s debut at Loewe, Harris Reed at Nina Ricci, Sarah Burton at Givenchy and Victoria Beckham. Loewe: The American friends debut with brio Another day, another…
Organizations are increasingly integrating generative AI capabilities into their applications to enhance customer experiences, streamline operations, and drive innovation. As generative AI workloads continue to grow in scale and importance, organizations face new challenges in maintaining consistent performance, reliability, and availability of their AI-powered applications. Customers are looking to scale their AI inference workloads across…

“B mesons can help us solve a big mystery of the universe: why there is more matter than antimatter” sakkmesterke/Alamy Did you know that, in physics, we have beauty factories? This has nothing to do with art or glamour. Instead, I am talking about experiments where electrons and their antimatter counterparts, positrons, are collided together…
An asymmetry in the average temperature of the cosmic microwave background doesn’t match the standard model of cosmology ESA/Planck Collaboration An anomaly in the temperature of the universe has long stumped physicists, and a new analysis of data from several radio telescopes has only deepened the mystery of what is causing it. This weird streak…
The Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, where the near-pristine star SDSS J0715-7334 was spotted Josh Lake/NASA/ESA A relatively nearby star that appears to lack almost any of the heavy elements produced by supernovae could be a direct descendant of the very first stars that formed in the universe. Astronomers think…
