No More Endless Boosters? Scientists Develop One-for-All Virus Vaccine

Yes!

“What I want to emphasize about this vaccine strategy is that it is broad,” said UCR virologist and paper author Rong Hai. “It is broadly applicable to any number of viruses, broadly effective against any variant of a virus, and safe for a broad spectrum of people. This could be the universal vaccine that we have been looking for.”

Beyond the Limit: Chinese Scientists Have Broken the Optical Diffraction Limit Barrier

Ugh, China again:

The groundbreaking technology of three-dimensional nanoscale optical disk memory with petabit capacity is revolutionary. The dataset behind GPT, which includes 5.8 billion indexed web pages and occupies about 56Pb of text, would typically require a playground area of hard drives for storage. However, the three-dimensional nanoscale optical disk memory can shrink this space to the size of a desktop computer, significantly reducing costs. Moreover, the energy consumption of nanoscale optical disk memory is several orders of magnitude lower than traditional methods, and its lifespan can reach up to 50-100 years.

Revolutionary AI Predicts Alzheimer’s up to Seven Years Before Symptoms Appear

The researchers used UCSF’s clinical database of more than 5 million patients to look for co-occurring conditions in patients who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at UCSF’s Memory and Aging Center in comparison to individuals without AD and found they could identify with 72% predictive power who would develop the disease up to seven years prior.

Several factors, including hypertension, high cholesterol, and vitamin D deficiency, were predictive in both men and women. Erectile dysfunction and an enlarged prostate were also predictive for men. But for women, osteoporosis was a particularly important predictor.”

Not much recommended yet, but for this bit:

Factors such as smoking can have a negative effect on sulfatide levels, whereas ensuring the body has an adequate supply of vitamin K or eating certain types of seafood can have a positive effect. These findings suggest possible approaches to developing preventive and therapeutic strategies in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.
