Johns Hopkins researchers estimate US oil and gas methane stayed within 9.3 to 10.4 teragrams a year from 2019 to 2024 as production rose. They found no detectable drop after the Inflation Reduction Act. The pipeline explanation is hedged.

Johns Hopkins researchers report in Radiology that lower spinal bone density in 715 people went with faster white-matter and cognitive decline. The team calls it a correlation with probable shared metabolic causes, so a chest-CT screen for brain aging still needs outcome data.

Anthropic's Claude Science helped Brice Menard build the first complete ultraviolet sky map, modeling roughly a third no UV telescope has observed. Agents ran the days-long pipeline, but the Johns Hopkins astrophysicist caught an artifact two agent reviews missed, runtimewire reported.

STAT finds employer premiums track the price of care more than its use, with hospitals and drug makers billing over twice Medicare's rates. Johns Hopkins economist Gerard Anderson says employers and states are now open to government intervention on costs.

The National Assembly named Steve Hanke special adviser and told him to write a full dollarization law. He puts the odds of passage at 50% to 80%.

Tal Boger and Chaz Firestone ran 11 experiments in which people learned an unspoken rule about simple and complex items, then kept applying it after the category changed, including when the items were felt inside a box instead of seen.

Johns Hopkins ran a deep learning bone measurement over 2,086 non-contrast chest CTs, then followed the 715 people who also had brain MRI and repeat cognitive tests. The authors say bone loss does not cause dementia.

WIRED's guide to private AI use reports that OpenAI, Anthropic and Google sell no-retention terms only to paid enterprise and developer accounts, and that Anthropic's Mythos-class models are excluded from them.

Two Johns Hopkins papers in Nature Communications examined double-strand breaks in DNA still wound on histones. The repair machinery joined the broken ends without stripping that packaging off first.

More than 100 signatories, Geoffrey Hinton and METR among them, told frontier AI companies that third-party testing needs ownership, payment and retaliation terms the evaluators say they do not have today.

Named practitioners, among them a former GCHQ information security specialist and a former CISA cyber deputy, say the frontier-agent hacks are containable with permissions and monitoring. They also say nobody outside the labs is checking the containment work.

The complaint was filed as a class action, so a ruling for the plaintiffs would reach every applicant the term searches touched. NIH's own head of extramural research has already described the practice in a court filing.

China supplies close to 30% of some transformer and switchgear categories and more than 40% of US battery imports, so the Energy Department's new power to condition those purchases lands on a buildout planning to go from 62 GW to 152 GW.

The company's technical report runs 38 pages on why the models misbehaved. According to MIT Technology Review, it says nothing about the culture in which two separate discoveries ended with a decision to carry on.

The Johns Hopkins economist advising Caracas puts approval odds at 50 to 80 percent. What passes or fails is the largest retirement of a currency since the euro, and the end of a lender of last resort.

A Science Advances study reconstructs a December 2024 coronal mass ejection whose Earth-directed component was invisible from Earth's line of sight. It took a chance alignment to catch it.

Scientific American's Science Quickly walked through early psilocybin research in anorexia nervosa. The condition kills about 5% of patients within four years of diagnosis, which is the real story.

Steve Hanke says a "deadly cocktail" has pushed Treasury yields through the informal 4.5% and 5% markers Scott Bessent defends, and he expects another 50 basis points on the 10-year.

The Food Systems Countdown Initiative scored 197 countries against 44 indicators in Nature Food. On most targets, most countries miss; on food system emissions, every country misses.
