A study using Japanese rice fish (medaka) found that potassium perchlorate damaged testes and reduced fertility. Fish given vitamin C alongside the chemical showed better fertility and less testicular harm, suggesting vitamin C may help protect reproductive health.
The American University in Cairo and Minapharm have formed a partnership to set up what the university calls the first African academy for biotechnology. The initiative starts early this year to strengthen education, research and industry links.
Yale researchers imaged the molecular structure of Vibrio cholerae flagella in living bacteria. The study shows how flagella proteins sit inside a hydrophilic sheath and suggests the sheath helps the bacterium move and infect cells.
Researchers studied why modern language models fail at long multiplication and compared standard fine-tuning with an Implicit Chain of Thought (ICoT) method. ICoT models learned to store intermediate results and reached perfect accuracy.
