The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics, enabling researchers to control and map neural circuits in living brains.
Scientists at Stanford University have created mice with human brain cells to develop a new model for studying human-specific brain disorders like epilepsy, autism, and cerebral palsy, aiming to advance treatment development.
Scientists have observed evidence of Einstein's theory of gravity at quantum scales, marking a significant step in bridging classical and quantum physics.
A blog post arguing that LLMs could potentially achieve scientific breakthroughs like General Relativity through deductive, non-abductive routes, countering Tom Zahavy's 'LLMs can't jump' position paper.
Anthropic's new AI model Claude Mythos, using the Claude Code framework, reportedly solved Erdős's distinct distances problem by finding alternative simple proofs, following OpenAI's earlier disproof. This demonstrates LLMs' ability to make independent scientific breakthroughs.
