AI’s rapid growth is increasing its environmental footprint. Studies suggest AI systems could soon emit as much carbon as a major city and consume vast amounts of water, raising concerns over energy use and transparency.

After a decade at Fermilab, scientists found no evidence for the sterile neutrino. MicroBooNE ruled it out with 95% certainty, closing a major particle physics mystery and sharpening the search beyond the Standard Model.

A study finds that over 20% of young adults use cannabis or alcohol to fall asleep, with cannabis most common. Researchers warn this habit can disrupt sleep, increase tolerance, and raise the risk of long-term sleep and substance-use problems.

Scientists have identified a tiny helper protein that supports appetite control. When it fails, hunger signals weaken, increasing obesity risk. This offers new insight into genetic appetite regulation and potential future weight loss treatments.

AI systems used to detect cancer can also infer patient demographics from tissue slides, causing hidden bias. A new Harvard study explains why this happens and shows how smarter training can sharply reduce disparities in AI driven cancer diagnosis.
