The development of GanLum comes as malaria resistance to existing treatments, especially artemisinin-based therapies, spreads across Africa and Southeast Asia. Malaria remains one of the deadliest diseases worldwide, with an estimated 600,000 deaths annually, mostly in young children in sub-Saharan Africa. The emergence of resistance to current drugs has intensified the need for new therapies, making GanLum a crucial advancement. Tackling Drug Resistance The rise of drug-resistant malaria strains has been one of the most pressing challenges in global malaria control. According to researchers, resistance to artemisinin, the backbone of current treatments, has been particularly concerning in Southeast Asia and…

The findings, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, describe how detailed gravitational wave data from these mergers uncovered signs that at least one black hole in each event had already been part of a previous merger—a clue pointing to what researchers call “hierarchical” black hole systems. Gravitational waves, first proposed by Einstein in his general theory of relativity, are tiny distortions in spacetime caused by massive celestial events like black hole collisions. Since their first direct detection in 2015, these waves have become vital to astrophysics, acting as messengers from regions of space otherwise invisible. In this case, they’re offering…

The nuclear industry, already known for its embrace of cutting-edge technology, is now taking a bold step by incorporating humanoid robotics to assist human workers in performing dangerous and complex tasks. With Hoxo, Capgemini and Orano aim to create a safer, more efficient work environment by leveraging AI to support operators in real-time, handling tasks such as equipment inspections and technical maintenance. The robot’s combination of human-like mobility and advanced AI systems could redefine industrial automation, especially in sensitive environments like nuclear plants. The Role of AI in Enhancing Nuclear Operations Hoxo represents a fusion of AI, robotics, and sensor…

In a first in India, a team of neuroscientists at the Bengaluru-based National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) has proposed promising therapeutics to treat Lowe syndrome, a rare genetic disorder affecting multiple organs.Story continues below this ad They discovered that a spike in a certain lipid in the brain was linked to breakdown of the smooth neuronal communication in the brain of patients diagnosed with Lowe syndrome. They further said that their findings could possibly have clues to designing newer therapies for patients suffering this condition. Lowe syndrome, which is mostly reported among males, simultaneously affects the brain, eyes and…
