Researchers Identify Two Previously Unknown 'Ghost' Ancestors in Human DNA

A new study has identified two previously unknown genetic lineages that contributed to modern human DNA, joining the already known Neanderthal and Denisovan contributions to our ancestry. Researchers analyzing ancient and modern human genomes discovered traces of two "ghost" populations—so called because no fossil evidence has been

FBI Issues Warning After Water Facilities in Seven States Report Cyberattacks

The FBI has issued a warning after water and wastewater facilities from seven states reported being targeted by cyberattacks. The alert underscores persistent vulnerabilities in the United States' critical infrastructure, particularly at the municipal level where cybersecurity resources are often limited. Water treatment facilities represent attractive targets for malicious

First Exomoon Detected: Astronomers Confirm Historic Discovery 73 Light-Years Away

Astronomers have achieved a historic milestone by detecting an exomoon for the first time. The discovery, made in a distant solar system approximately 73 light-years from Earth, is already reshaping how scientists understand the boundaries between different celestial objects. The finding represents a significant advancement in observational astronomy, as researchers

First AI-Driven Telescope Opens New Era for Astronomical Observations

NOIRLab has announced the activation of what it describes as the first fully AI-driven telescope for astronomical observations. The system leverages machine learning to autonomously identify, track, and prioritize celestial targets without constant human intervention. This development marks a significant step toward scalable, real-time sky survey capabilities, particularly for detecting

How AI Is Bringing Us Closer to Catching Multiple Cancers Early

Detecting cancer early often relies on type-specific tests—mammograms for breast cancer, colonoscopies for colorectal cancer, and so on. But what if one screening strategy could flag signs of several cancers at once? This idea, sometimes called multi-cancer early detection, has long been a goal in oncology, and artificial intelligence

Researchers Develop Full-Color Night Vision System Using Infrared Translation

Traditional night vision technology has long been associated with its distinctive green glow, a result of image intensification that amplifies available light. Researchers have now developed a new approach that fundamentally changes how we perceive infrared imagery. The system translates both wavelength and intensity information from the infrared spectrum directly
