Bovine colostrum emerges as a natural booster for immunity, disease resistance, and healthy aging

Maximum Academic Press

A research team has reviewed the immunomodulatory potential of bovine colostrum (BC), highlighting its rich composition of bioactive compounds such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and growth factors that enhance immune defense, reduce inflammation, and support tissue repair.

Double harvest: Vertical solar panels and crops thrive side by side

Aarhus University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study from Aarhus University shows that bifacial, vertical solar panels in agricultural fields can generate clean electricity without reducing crop yields. And research shows that they are better received by the public than traditional solar parks. The research is part of the Hyperfarm project, which is funded by the EU's research and innovation framework programme, Horizon 2020.

OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Google vary widely in identifying hate speech

University of Pennsylvania
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Neil Fasching and Yphtach Lelkes of the Annenberg School for Communication have found dramatic differences in how large language models classify hate speech, with especially large variations for language about certain demographic groups, raising concerns about bias and disproportionate harm.

Hear that? Mizzou researchers are ‘listening’ to molecules in supersonic conditions

University of Missouri-Columbia
Peer-Reviewed Publication

What happens when you hurl molecules faster than sound through a vacuum chamber nearly as cold as space itself? At the University of Missouri, researchers are finding out — and discovering new ways to detect molecules under extreme conditions.

Synthetic magnetic fields steer light on a chip for faster communications

SPIE--International Society for Optics and Photonics
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Magnetic fields give rise to many unusual electronic behaviors, such as the quantum Hall effect, but neutral particles like photons are largely unaffected. Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Sun Yat-Sen University have developed a universal design method for creating pseudomagnetic fields in silicon photonic crystals, enabling precise control over the flow of light at telecommunication wavelengths. By tuning local symmetry in the crystal structure, the team demonstrated low-loss optical devices including waveguide bends and power splitters, and validated their performance with 140-Gb/s data transmission. The work establishes a flexible platform for guiding light with artificial gauge fields, offering opportunities for next-generation photonic circuits, optical communications, and quantum information technologies.
