Protein evidence suggests Denisovan ancestry in modern Southeast Asian populations

A study of 400,000-year-old Homo erectus teeth from China has produced new evidence about the evolutionary relationships among ancient human groups. By extracting proteins from the teeth, researchers found indicators suggesting that Homo erectus interbred with Denisovans, an ancient human population whose ancestry has been identified in

Proposed Technique Reads Quantum Information with High Accuracy

A proposed technique could make quantum computing more practical by reading information from delicate qubit states without destroying them. Instead of relying on a measurement process that may alter the state being examined, the method detects an electrical signal produced by the qubit itself. In simulations, the approach achieved accuracy

Coordinated guidelines advance personalized phage therapy for antibiotic-resistant infections

Antibiotic-resistant infections are prompting researchers to explore bacteriophages, viruses that can specifically target and kill harmful bacteria. Rather than relying on a broad antibiotic, personalized phage therapy matches patients with viruses selected for activity against their particular bacterial infections. An international team has now released the first coordinated guidelines

Moonshot AI Seeks European Access to Nvidia Blackwell Chips

Chinese artificial intelligence lab Moonshot reportedly turned to Europe for access to Nvidia’s Blackwell AI accelerators, according to sources cited by CNBC. The reported move comes amid U.S. restrictions on advanced chip exports to China. By sourcing Blackwell systems through Europe, Moonshot is seeking to secure the computing

NASA Unveils the Experimental X-70 Fractal Aircraft

NASA has announced the X-70 Fractal, its next experimental X-plane. The aircraft is intended to test advanced maneuverability while using a rapidly reconfigurable design. Rather than serving as a conventional operational aircraft, the X-70 is a technology demonstrator. Its design reflects NASA’s continued use of X-

China Targets a Crewed Lunar Landing Before 2030

China has laid out a roadmap for landing astronauts on the Moon before 2030. The plan places China in competition with NASA, which hopes to land astronauts on the lunar surface in 2028. The proposed schedules reflect the growing emphasis on crewed lunar missions as a major test of space

OpenAI to Revise Data Center Efforts Following Outcry

OpenAI will change how it handles its data center efforts following an outcry, according to Bloomberg. The response indicates increased scrutiny of the company’s approach to data center planning and operations. The available report does not detail the nature of the planned changes, the scale of the affected projects,
