Physicists prove the Universe isn’t a simulation after all

The idea that our universe might be nothing more than an elaborate computer simulation has been a favorite theme in science fiction for decades. Yet new research from UBC Okanagan suggests that not only is this concept implausible — it is mathematically impossible. Dr. Mir Faizal, an Adjunct Professor at…

Supercomputer breakthrough exposes Enceladus’s hidden ocean

In the 17th century, Christiaan Huygens and Giovanni Cassini focused their telescopes on Saturn and realized its bright bands were not solid features. Instead, they identified immense, separate rings formed from innumerable nested arcs. Centuries later, NASA’s Cassini-Huygens (Cassini) mission pushed that exploration forward. Starting in 2005, it returned striking…

AI unravels the hidden communication of gut microbes

Gut bacteria play a major role in human health, influencing everything from digestion to immunity and mood. Yet, the microbiome’s complexity is staggering. The sheer number of bacterial species and their interactions with human chemistry have made it difficult for scientists to fully understand their effects. In a groundbreaking step,…

New online tool can predict how well blood pressure drugs will work

A groundbreaking Blood Pressure Treatment Efficacy Calculator, developed using data from nearly 500 randomized clinical trials involving more than 100,000 participants, now enables doctors to estimate how much different medications can lower a patient’s blood pressure. Recently published in The Lancet, the research behind this tool could transform how high…

New bacterial therapy destroys cancer without the immune system

A research team led by Professor Eijiro Miyako at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), in collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. and the University of Tsukuba, has created an innovative cancer treatment that works without relying on the immune system. The new approach uses a unique…

Vannacci ‘riscrive’ il fascismo. Pd e Avs insorgono – Notizie – Ansa.it

Roberto Vannacci da generale ad autoproclamato professore per “ripetizioni” sul fascismo a “chi la storia l’ha studiata nei manuali del Pd”. In un lungo post su Facebook, il numero due della Lega, ‘riscrive’ il Ventennio innescando a stretto giro l’ira di Pd e di Avs che, all’unisono, lo accusano di…

Doctors found a way to stop a deadly metformin reaction

Metformin-associated lactic acidosis (MALA) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication linked to the diabetes medication metformin. The condition occurs when excessive lactic acid builds up in the body, leading to dangerous changes in blood chemistry. Researchers developed and evaluated a clinical protocol aimed at improving how MALA is recognized…

Papa Leone convoca i cardinali per il suo primo Concistoro – Notizie – Ansa.it

Nelle riforme della Chiesa, “non siamo frettolosi e superficiali: scaviamo a fondo, liberi dai criteri del mondo, che troppo spesso pretende risultati immediati, perché non conosce la sapienza dell’attesa”. Sono indicazioni che tracciano la linea che intende dare al suo pontificato, quelle che arrivano da papa Leone celebrando questa mattina…
