The bird flu crisis on dairy farms could boost interest in milk protein manufactured in microorganisms and plants.

To better treat and prevent depression, we need to understand more about the brains and bodies in which it occurs.

Curiously, a handful of studies have identified links between depressive symptoms and body temperature, yet their small sample sizes have left too much room for doubt.

In a more recent study published in February, researchers led by a team from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) analyzed data from 20,880 individuals collected over seven months, confirming that those with depression tend to have higher body temperatures.

The rotation of Earth’s inner core really has slowed down, a new study has confirmed, opening up questions about what’s happening in the center of the planet and how we might be affected.

Led by a team from the University of Southern California (USC), the researchers behind the finding think this change in the core’s rotation could change the length of our days – albeit only by a few fractions of a second, so you won’t need to reset your watches just yet.

“When I first saw the seismograms that hinted at this change, I was stumped,” says Earth scientist John Vidale from USC. “But when we found two dozen more observations signaling the same pattern, the result was inescapable.

AI is quickly becoming a regular part of children’s lives. What happens next?

Paul Terry, CEO of Photonic Inc., explores the crucial phases needed to develop large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum systems.

Salesforce recently announced that it has introduced more than 50 AI-powered tools among its workforce and reported that these tools have collectively saved all of its employees in excess of 50,000 hours—or 24 years’ worth—of working time in just three months.

As a company, Salesforce serves as an especially compelling case study for the impact of AI on work—not only because the company tests tools on their own workforce, but because so many others rely on Salesforce’s products to do their jobs each day. Simply put: Salesforce is in the business of work.

Salesforce has more than 70,000 employees worldwide—a 30% increase since 2020. And the software giant builds the products that are used by employees at some 150,000 workplaces, from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies; from sales and customer service teams to marketing and tech teams.

The DNA a woman is born with may influence how her cells respond to chromosomal abnormalities acquired with aging, according to a new genomic analysis co-led by NCI researchers.

In advancing sustainable waste management and CO₂ sequestration, researchers have crafted reactors that mineralize carbon dioxide with fly ash particles. This avant-garde technique is set to offer a sustainable and lasting solution to the pressing issue of greenhouse gas emissions, repurposing an industrial by-product in the process.
