Scientists have identified new forms of multicellular life that emerge from the cells of a deceased organism, existing in what they describe as a “third state”—a condition beyond the typical understanding of life and death. Traditionally, death is viewed as the opposite of life, yet organ donation and similar processes highlight that certain cells and tissues can continue to function …

In a groundbreaking study, scientists have discovered that a specific brain network expands to twice its size in individuals suffering from depression. This brain region, known as the frontostriatal salience network, has previously been linked to filtering external stimuli and processing rewards, although its full role remains unclear. The research, conducted by a team at Weill Cornell Medicine in New …

Over the past year, dozens of scientists worldwide have been investigating the cause of this unusual signal. Now, a …

OpenAI has introduced a new artificial intelligence model, described as more capable of “reasoning” and solving complex problems in areas such as science, coding, and math compared to its previous versions. This new model, named OpenAI o1, was released on Thursday as a preview, with the company planning regular updates. It will soon be available to most ChatGPT users. In …
