Chef’s picks: Easy-melting mild cheeses like Cheddar, American, Gruyère and more.By combining cheeses, you achieve a richer, more complex flavor and a gooey, stretchy texture.Get a correct ratio between bread and cheese while 1- to 2-day-old bread toasts best. Being a food writer in a major food city like Atlanta means access to some of the fanciest dishes, ingredients and preparations on a fairly regular basis. It’s a privilege that I’m grateful for every day, and a part of my life that brings me endless joy. However, far from spoiling me, it’s given me a profound appreciation for the simplest,…
John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis revealed quantum physics on a macroscopic scale. The work was a milestone for the development of superconducting quantum circuits.Credit: UC Berkeley; Yale Engineering; Rocco Ceselin for NatureThree physicists have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating quantum physics on the macroscopic scale. The research, including into the bizarre phenomena of quantum tunnelling and quantum superposition, has helped to underpin some of today’s most advanced quantum computers. John Clarke at the University of California, Berkeley, Michel Devoret at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, and the University of California, Santa Barbara…
Believe it or not, burning lip gloss isn’t the only noninvasive path to plumper lips. In fact, there’s an abundance of options to try, from nourishing lip balms to overnight masks to contouring liners and beyond. Most recently, I learned about a unique, device-driven hack that might just take the cake for the most effective method.
Further industrial action by NHS doctors could be on the horizon after foundation year 1 (FY1) doctors voted overwhelmingly to take strike action.The BMA announced on 6 October that a vast majority (97%, 3950 of 4057) of FY1 resident doctors who voted in its ballot of eligible members had backed strike action over a shortage of specialty training places that is leaving many unemployed.The ballot had a 65% (4057 of 6243) turnout among FY1 resident doctors who are BMA members, which the union said gave it a mandate for industrial action alongside the linked dispute over eroded pay.More than a…
A preprint posted by researchers at artificial intelligence (AI)-based drug developer Insilico Medicine plots a two-pronged roadmap that aims to address two key questions in drug discovery: How can companies efficiently search the universe of more than 10⁶⁰ potential drug molecules for new treatments? And how can those companies prevent their discoveries from being the basis of “me too” and “me better” drugs patented by competitors? In “Molecular LEGION: Latent Enumeration, Generation, Integration, Optimization and Navigation. A case study of incalculably large chemical space coverage around the NLRP3 target,” posted on ChemRxiv, a team of 11 Insilico researchers unveiled their…
Spooky season has arrived as October gets underway, but what does this month have in store for our finances? We’ve got a Libra new moon to look forward to, not to mention Venus moving from virtuous Virgo into loving Libra—but these transits will impact us all differently depending on our birth charts.

Unidentified drone flights are causing alarm, chaos and uncertainty in European aviation.Credit: Johannes Simon/GettyIn July, the European Commission announced a proposal to nearly double the European Union’s Horizon Europe research-funding budget to €175 billion (US$205 billion) for its next seven-year period, which begins in 2028. But any celebrations did not last long. The commission also confirmed its intention, first mooted earlier this year, to abolish a long-standing rule that restricts Horizon funding to projects with only civilian applications. If the change is implemented, it would be the first time that…
Credit: boonchai wedmakawand/Getty Images Personalized medicine for cardiovascular disease (CVD) could receive a huge boost through the application of the latest biomedical technologies, researchers report, but global leadership and partnership across many branches of healthcare are needed. Clinicians believe that omics, systems biology and artificial intelligence hold the key to a new generation of CVD therapies and could result in a sea change in how these drugs are created. In a review article published in Frontiers In Science, the team highlights the potential importance of RNA and digitally designed drugs to treat diseases that are currently deemed “undruggable.” But the…
The supplement also improved jump height and throws, according to the researchers from Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa and other institutions in Turkey and the United States.“These findings support the use of nitrate supplementation as an ergogenic aid for young athletes engaged in high-intensity, intermittent exercise activities,” they concluded.Combat sports, such as judo, are physically demanding, requiring explosive power, muscular strength and endurance. Judo competitions consist of intermittent periods of high-intensity activity, followed by brief recovery periods, so athletes need to maintain peak performance while managing fatigue.Previous research suggests that supplements that enhance nitric oxide levels can benefit exercise performance. However, there have…
Amyloid plaques in the brain, which are now detectable through blood-based biomarker testing, represent a key hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.Image credit:©STOCK.ADOBE.COM, Dr_MicrobeCharacterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Currently, this devastating disease afflicts approximately 7 million Americans, with numbers projected to almost double by 2060.1 Although anti-amyloid drugs are now available to slow AD-associated cognitive decline, they work best if given in the early symptomatic stages.2 Patients often miss this optimal window due to current diagnostic test limitations.Positron emission tomography (PET) uses radioactive tracers for accurate amyloid plaque detection, but…
