Nerve injuries can trigger hidden immune changes...

December 12, 2025

Preclinical research from McGill University suggests that nerve injuries can create long-term changes in the immune system, and these changes may not be the same for males and females. Nerve injuries are common and can occur from stretching, pressure or cuts. They often lead to persistent problems such as chronic pain. Although the immune system normally works to repair damaged tissue, the new findings indicate that nerve injuries can also shift immune activity throughout the entire body. Laboratory analysis...

NAD+ supplement shows early promise for long...

December 12, 2025

Long COVID continues to disrupt millions of lives, especially through persistent neurological symptoms like fatigue, sleep problems, and brain fog. Researchers tested whether raising NAD+ levels with high-dose nicotinamide riboside could help restore energy metabolism and ease symptoms. While the randomized trial didn’t show major differences in cognitive scores between treatment and placebo groups, participants who took NR for at least 10 weeks reported improvements in fatigue, sleep, mood, and some executive function tasks. The results highlight both the...

Trump Signs Executive Order That Threatens to...

December 11, 2025

President Donald Trump signed a highly anticipated executive order on Thursday that sets in motion a plan to establish a national regulatory framework for artificial intelligence while undercutting states’ abilities to enact their own rules. The order, titled “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence,” creates an AI litigation task force within the Justice Department to directly challenge state AI laws the administration finds to conflict with federal policy. It also directs the Department of Commerce to craft...

December 11, 2025

Getty / Futurism Just as many had predicted, Time magazine once again took some liberties with its annual “Person of the Year” issue. Besides blocking users from reading its website with an AI chatbot, the magazine anointed the “architects of AI” as its most important visionaries of 2025, eschewing the definition of “person” yet again. The eyeroll-inducing announcement was met with plenty of incredulity, especially considering the astronomical amount of money being spent on building out data centers, their...

Crypto Magnate Do Kwon Sentenced to 15...

December 11, 2025

South Korean crypto entrepreneur and prosecuted fraudster Do Kwon was sentenced to 15 years in prison by a US federal judge in the Southern District of New York on Thursday. Kwon cut a solemn figure as he was escorted into the courtroom by US Marshals, his head bowed, his cheeks sunken as if he’d lost a significant amount of weight. He wore a bright lemon-colored prison jumpsuit over a long-sleeve shirt, with cuffs around his waist and hands. In...

December 11, 2025

The School of Science welcomed 11 new faculty members in 2024. Shaoyun Bai researches symplectic topology, the study of even-dimensional spaces whose properties are reflected by two-dimensional surfaces inside them. He is interested in this area’s interaction with other fields, including algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, geometric topology, and dynamics. He has been developing new tool kits for counting problems from moduli spaces, which have been applied to classical questions, including the Arnold conjecture, periodic points of Hamiltonian maps, higher-rank...

MIT researchers find new immunotherapeutic targets for...

December 11, 2025

Glioblastoma is the most common form of brain cancer in adults, and its consequences are usually quick and fatal. After receiving standard-of-care treatment (surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy), fewer than half of patients will survive longer than 15 months. Only 5 percent of patients survive longer than five years. Researchers have explored immune checkpoint inhibitors as an avenue for boosting glioblastoma survival rates. This type of immunotherapy, which has proven effective against a range of tumor types, turns...

It may seem like an odd question, but it’s one which AI company 2wai is staking its entire existence on. As spotted by The Independent, a recently released commercial for 2wai, titled “Preserve Your Legacy,” has gone viral, thanks to its depiction of a grandmother preserved as an AI avatar. “He’s getting bigger,...

I Am Time Magazine’s Person of the...

December 11, 2025

It’s rude to boast, but here in 2025, you’ve got to take the wins where you can get them. This morning, Time magazine announced its Person of the Year, and it’s me. It’s you too. If you want to get all technical about it, Time’s Person of the Year is actually not a person at all but a collection of people: the architects of AI. One of the two covers Time released is a re-creation of the “Lunch Atop...

OpenAI Sued for Causing Murder-Suicide

December 11, 2025

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Getty Images A new lawsuit against OpenAI alleges that ChatGPT stoked a troubled man’s paranoid delusions, leading him to murder his elderly mother and then kill himself. The lawsuit was brought against OpenAI by the estate of Suzanne Eberson Adams, an 83-year-old woman in Greenwich, Connecticut who was murdered by her son, 56-year-old Stein-Erik Soelberg. As The Wall Street Journal first reported back in August, Soelberg, who was living with his mother...

U.S. Approves First Device to Treat Depression...

December 11, 2025

In a first, this week the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a brain stimulation device designed to treat depression at home. The approval of the first such device for home depression treatment expands therapeutic options for depression beyond drugs. Made by Flow Neuroscience, the device is worn as a headset that delivers electric current to a part of the brain called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is known to be implicated in mood disorders and depression. The technique,...

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Time Magazine It may not surprise you that Time magazine has elected to highlight the AI industry in its annual “Person of the Year” issue. Or should we say persons: the collective billionaire “architects of AI,” it announced. But what may surprise you is a new feature prominently displayed on Time‘s website: a window for an AI chatbot. “Ask me anything,” it reads. It does not go away. Instead, the chatbot window...

December 11, 2025

Picture this: You’re just about done with a transoceanic flight, and the tracker in your seat-back screen shows you approaching your destination airport. And then … you notice your plane is moving away. Pretty far away. You approach again and again, only to realize you’re on a long, circling loop that can last an hour or more before you land. If this sounds familiar, there’s a good chance the delay was caused by issues with trajectory prediction. Your plane...

How Taiwan Made Cashless Payments Cute

December 11, 2025

At a 7-Eleven convenience store in Taiwan, you can pick up a 4-inch plushie of Miffy, the bunny character from the Netherlands, a mini bento box charm complete with a realistic chicken drumstick, or a tiny plastic rotary phone. Produced by iCash Corporation (a 7-Eleven affiliate), these keychains are more than just trinkets: Each contains a contactless chip that connects it to Taiwan’s elaborate stored-value payment system. iCash cards, along with those made by competitors like EasyCard and iPASS,...
