The topics of human-level artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial superintelligence (ASI) have captivated researchers for decades. Interest has surged with the rapid progress and deployment of large language models (LLMs), which now handle tasks such as coding, scientific explanation, creative writing, and multimodal reasoning. “Solve AI and it will solve everything” remains a popular, if contested, credo—driving large-scale investment, shaping public narratives, and motivating optimism about transformative advances.
Applying this vision to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, ...

Study Finds Most People Trust Doctors More than AI But See Its Potential for Cancer Diagnosis
Nationally representative surveys measure public attitudes toward AI in healthcare
Washington, D.C., December 8, 2025– New research on public attitudes toward AI indicates that most people are reluctant to let ChatGPT and other AI tools diagnose their health condition, but see promise in technologies that use AI to help diagnose cancer. These and other results of two nationally representative surveys will be presented at the ...

Key points:
Children whose schools reopened during the COVID-19 pandemic had significantly decreased mental health diagnoses relative to children whose schools remained closed, according to a new study of schools across California. This included fewer diagnoses of depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Girls’ mental health benefited the most.
Mental health care spending decreased by up to 11% by the ninth month after a school’s reopening.
The study is among the largest and most data-rich examinations of how school closures impacted ...

SARS‑CoV‑2, the virus that causes COVID-19, continues to mutate, with some newer strains becoming less responsive to current antiviral treatments like Paxlovid. Now, University of California San Diego scientists and an international team of researchers have identified several promising molecules that could lead to new medications capable of combating these resistant variants.
Instead of looking for antiviral candidates from scratch, the research team screened 141 previously synthesized compounds that had originally been designed between 1997 and 2012 to inhibit a key enzyme called cruzain. ...

Hoboken, N.J., December 8, 2025 — On Saturday December 6, 2025 Alaska was rocked by a 7.0 magnitude quake. Though not always so forceful, earthquakes happen every day. On average, about 55 of them strike daily, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), totaling some 20,000 annually worldwide. About once a year, one reaches 8.0 points or greater and 15 others hit within the magnitude 7 range on the Richter scale, which measures earthquakes by the energy they release. For example, in just 2025 an 8.8 earthquake offshore from the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, ...

MIAMI, FLORIDA (EMBARGOED UNTIL DEC. 8, 2025, AT 2:45 P.M. EST) – Most patients with a rare and aggressive form of large B-cell lymphoma can safely receive a less toxic treatment than the intensive chemotherapy often used, according to new research from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Lead researcher Juan Alderuccio, M.D., a hematologist and lymphoma specialist at Sylvester, will present this research Dec. 8 at the American Society of Hematology ...

The sense of smell is vital for animals, as it helps them find food, protect themselves from predators and interact socially. An international research team led by Dr Quentin Martinez and Dr Eli Amson from State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart has now discovered that certain areas of the brain skull allow conclusions to be drawn about the sense of smell in mammals. Particularly significant is the volume of the endocast of the olfactory bulb, a bony structure in the skull that is often well preserved even in very old fossils. This volume is closely related to the number of intact odour receptor genes – an important ...

One of the most important steps in the evolution of modern mammals was the development of highly sensitive hearing. The middle ear of mammals, with an eardrum and several small bones, allows us to hear a broad range of frequencies and volumes, which was a big help to early, mostly nocturnal mammal ancestors as they tried to survive alongside dinosaurs.
New research by paleontologists from the University of Chicago shows that this modern mode of hearing evolved much earlier than previously thought. Working with detailed CT scans of the skull and jawbones of Thrinaxodon liorhinus, a 250-million-year-old mammal predecessor, they used engineering methods to simulate ...

The negative health impacts from contamination by so called "forever chemicals" in drinking water costs the contiguous U.S. at least $8 billion a year in social costs, a University of Arizona-led study has found.
The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, builds on previous research into how PFAS – per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances – can negatively impact health when the chemicals contaminate drinking water. The research team studied all births in New Hampshire from 2010-2019, focusing on mothers living ...
