A major Swedish trial found that using AI in breast cancer screening reduced later cancer diagnoses by 12%.The study followed 100,000 women undergoing routine mammography between 2021 and 2022.Women receiving AI-supported screening had higher rates of early cancer detection.The AI system helped radiologists prioritise high-risk cases and flag suspicious findings.Researchers reported fewer aggressive cancers in the AI group.The results were published in The Lancet and mark the largest trial of its kind.Experts said AI could ease radiologist workloads but should not replace human readers.
Google DeepMind launched AlphaGenome, an AI tool that identifies genetic mutations driving disease.AlphaGenome analyses up to one million DNA letters at once.The system predicts how mutations disrupt gene regulation across different cells and tissues.Researchers trained the model on public human and mouse genetics databases.Scientists say it could speed discovery of disease mechanisms and new treatments.Experts believe AlphaGenome may guide future gene and cancer therapies.

Scientists launched an AI-powered app that identifies dinosaurs from fossil footprints with about 90% agreement with human experts.Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and Helmholtz-Zentrum developed the system using unlabelled footprint data.The team trained the AI on 2,000 footprint silhouettes and let it group shapes by shared features.The system identified eight key features, including toe spread, heel position, and ground contact.Researchers turned the tool into a free app called DinoTracker.Users can upload footprints and compare them with similar fossil tracks.The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.The AI supports earlier claims that some Triassic footprints look…
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against Gemini, founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, after investors recovered their assets in full. Regulators cited the complete repayment of Gemini Earn customers through the Genesis Global Capital bankruptcy in 2024. The decision reflects a broader shift toward crypto-friendly regulation under President Donald Trump. The SEC stressed that the dismissal does not affect other enforcement actions. Gemini later debuted strongly on Nasdaq and is now valued at $1.14bn.

Vue acknowledged there were disputed amounts on both sides but said the issue has now been resolved, with no money outstanding and the contested sum below £100,000. Vue’s founder, Tim Richards, criticised…

Google’s AI Overviews cite YouTube more frequently than any medical website when answering health-related search queries, according to a German study that analysed more than 50,000 searches. Researchers at SE Ranking found that YouTube accounted for 4.43% of all sources cited in AI-generated health summaries, making it the single most referenced platform. No hospital network, government health body or academic institution came close. The findings raise concerns because YouTube is a general video platform where content can be uploaded by anyone, not a dedicated medical publisher. The study, based on German-language searches conducted in Germany, showed AI Overviews appeared in…
Japan is developing the L0 Series, a magnetic-levitation train that could reach 603.5 km/h, making it the fastest train ever built. Produced by Central Japan Railway Company, it far exceeds current high-speed rail, including Europe’s fastest services such as France’s TGV and Italy’s Italo. The train will run on the Chūō Shinkansen, cutting the Tokyo–Nagoya journey to about 40 minutes, with Tokyo–Osaka expected to take roughly one hour. The project relies on maglev technology, which lifts trains above the track using magnets, reducing friction and allowing extreme speeds. However, exporting this technology to Europe looks unlikely. The system requires entirely…
