How a scientist went from hero to traitor in a US water crisis – podcast
When the water in Flint, Michigan, became contaminated with dangerous levels of lead, Dr Siddhartha Roy, then a third year PhD student, was part of the team of scientists who publicly contradicted state and federal claims that it was safe. He became a local hero until a new piece of research challenged the idea that children in Flint had been left permanently brain damaged by the crisis. His adherence to the evidence, no matter who it offended, has earned him the 2026 Maddox prize, which recognises individuals who stand up for science and evidence, despite challenges or hostility. He tells Ian

What natural object is the roundest in the Universe?
Here on planet Earth, we normally think of our own home world as round, and yet it’s anything but a perfect sphere . If it were made of a perfect fluid, didn’t rotate, and were completely isolated from other masses that exert tidal forces on it (like the Sun and the Moon), it would be theoretically be massive enough to pull itself into a perfectly spherical shape, but that doesn’t line up with physical reality. The Earth instead is made of non-uniform material, has several interior layers that subduct and uplift, and is flattened into an oblate spheroidal shape: compressed at the poles and bul

Extra weight may be aging your brain faster than you think
A major 24-year study involving more than 8,200 adults suggests that excess body weight may accelerate brain aging, leading to faster declines in memory, concentration, and decision-making skills. The connection was particularly strong among people over 65, raising concerns about the long-term effects of obesity on brain health.

Scientists reverse liver cell aging and cut Alzheimer’s-linked protein in half
A surprising discovery suggests that rejuvenating the liver could help protect against Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease. USC researchers found that an experimental drug restored aging liver cells in rats, cutting levels of an Alzheimer’s-linked protein in half and bringing bad cholesterol down to youthful levels. The treatment also revived a previously unknown communication system that helps liver cells remove harmful substances from the bloodstream.

Scientists just found a loophole that could let black holes split in two
Scientists have discovered a possible loophole in the laws that normally prevent black holes from splitting apart, suggesting that extremely fast-spinning black holes might divide into two. The surprising finding raises the possibility of an entirely new black hole phenomenon that future telescopes could potentially detect.

Large Hadron Collider reveals evidence of Big Bang matter in surprisingly small collisions
Scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have uncovered compelling new evidence that even relatively small atomic collisions can recreate the extraordinary state of matter that filled the universe moments after the Big Bang. Known as quark-gluon plasma, this exotic substance forms at temperatures more than 100,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun, causing ordinary particles to break apart into their fundamental building blocks.

Scientists discover new Alzheimer’s drug that repairs DNA damage and reduces brain inflammation
Scientists have discovered that a drug originally developed for spinal cord injuries can tackle several key features of Alzheimer’s disease, including DNA damage and inflammation. Already tested for initial safety in humans, the experimental treatment could offer a faster path toward therapies that target the disease at its roots.

Monarch butterflies get tiny trackers to help scientists follow their mysterious migration
As a child, Rebeca Quiñonez-Piñón wondered where monarch butterflies stop for a meal and a night's rest on their long migrations across North America. Now she and other scientists are attaching tiny tracking devices to hundreds of butterflies to find those critical stopover locations before they disappear.

[推广] 做了个基于紫微斗数的 AI 产品，想找 50 位 V 友帮忙测测
大家好，我之前是深圳大厂的程序员。因为从小受家里的耳濡目染，自己一直喜欢命理，后来也跟着家里人一起从事紫微斗数相关的线下工作。 这几年我累计接触了 1000 多位线下真实用户，主要是批盘和看户型。经常遇到的问题、用户反馈以及大家不容易理解的地方做了匿名整理，再结合以前的开发经验，做了一个叫“友灵 Youra”的产品。 官网： https://fanrise.cn/ 在线下服务中我发现，用户除了关心命理分析，也很需要持续追问和验证。很多问题并不会随着一份报告结束，比如一段关系后来怎么样了、之前的分析是否符合后续发展。因此我们在传统命盘报告之外加入了 AI 陪伴和记忆系统。它能关联用户之前聊过的内容，比如：“上周你说还在想他，现在怎么样了，想继续聊聊吗？”我们希望友灵不只是生成报告，更像一个记得上下文、可以长期交流的朋友。 目前小范围测试中，反馈比较好的主要是两个功能。 第一个是“答案之书”。 “答案之书”基于小六壬的原理，用户可以先输入正在犹豫的问题，选择三个随机数字。再打开答案之书，得到小六壬的解读作为行事提示。它不会替用户作决定，更像是在纠结的时候提供一个新的观察角度。 有些用户会问： “这件事还要不要继续？” “我还能不能和 TA 在一起” 这个功能比较轻量，也有一定的随机性和娱乐性。很多用户会在日常生活中反复打开看看。 另一个反馈比较多的是流年分析，尤其是职业阶段和工作机会相
