Reuters +3JNA WorldJordan says it intercepted 18 of 20 Iranian missiles — Show the summaryJordan said it intercepted 18 of 20 Iranian ballistic missiles heading for a US base in the Gulf. The two missiles not intercepted reportedly fell in uninhabited areas.
Simon Willison +1TTM AdvancesTao warns AI could discourage sharing in research — Show the summaryTerence Tao wrote that even mention of work on an open problem could trigger a major AI-driven effort to solve it. He said such incentives could, in the long term, harm the tradition of open science.
Research Sciencealert +2 AdvancesFaecal sludge biochar improves concrete strength in laboratory tests — Show the summaryA study of mixes with different doses of faecal sludge biochar measured strength, porosity, absorption, shrinkage and microstructure. The findings are preliminary: industrial-scale and real-structure data are still needed.
AFP +4 AbundanceMamdani releases documents on toxic pollution after 11 September — Show the summaryNew York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has released documents on toxic air pollution following the 11 September attacks.
''Telegraph India'' +2TIGU AbundanceUK reportedly announces bans on settlement goods — Show the summaryAvailable reporting describes a UK announcement on Israeli settlement goods in the West Bank and some services. Evidence is insufficient: no official act or text defines its scope or application.
Research Le Scienze +3 AdvancesReview maps gaps in topography beneath Antarctica’s coastal ice — Show the summaryDrawing on published datasets and available observations, the review identifies regional data gaps beneath ice shelves and the coastal ice sheet. It proposes priorities for new measurements, but does not fill the gaps or quantify reduced uncertainty.
Research PPRPP LongevityPreprint examines the statistical robustness of breast cancer trials — Show the summaryA systematic review reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves from phase III drug trials published between 2015 and 2025. This is an early preprint: its indices measure statistical stability, not the clinical efficacy of treatments.
Research Mondosanità +2AM AdvancesStudy describes on-site DNA tests against seafood fraud in northern Spain — Show the summaryThe peer-reviewed study describes DNA identification methods, including tests that can be used on site, to detect fraud or substitution in high-value seafood products. The reported percentage requires verification against the primary text.
Research MED +1MEAKU LongevityTanzania study identifies gaps in communication on climate-related health risks — Show the summaryA qualitative study found community preferences and gaps between health information provided and perceived needs. It examined climate-related risks from neglected tropical diseases in two districts of northern Tanzania.
