Explore BIG CHANGE reporting on Science & Health: what changed, how it works and why it matters.
Utah's agreement permits Nolla to initiate a narrow set of topical acne prescriptions for adults, but the state says the demonstration has not started while Nolla says it is available.
IWF assessed 6,310 AI-generated child sexual abuse images in the first half of 2026. Its conflicting 2025 totals leave the exact growth rate unresolved.
A Cambridge working paper examines whether AI-led research could accelerate AI progress. Anthropic's 26% figure shows supervised work, while the proposed feedback loop remains conditional.
Caltech and Stanford researchers show a Unitree G1 using a remembered kitchen map and reusable skills. The release has selected demonstrations but no controlled results, full paper or robot code.
A September preprint reports a three-trial mobile-exploration task alongside robot-arm experiments. It does not verify the separate Reddit claim about GPT-6 Astra and a Unitree G1.
A new Blue Cross claims analysis estimates $942 million in added hospital payments from more complex coding. It raises questions about AI tools but does not establish their causal share.
Claude flagged an unusual repeat array beside a phage enzyme. Anthropic measured short RNAs, but has yet to establish the enzyme's activity or any editing capability.
Basecamp Research's $140 million round backs its biological models and therapy pipeline. We examine the dataset, selected experiments and current development stages.
An AI-assisted Enigma recovery connects archival clues with a search others can inspect. The case offers practical lessons for research with agents.
Private AI discoveries raise a question about public power: who can inspect the evidence, choose the next research question and benefit from the answers? A look at release incentives, scientific understanding and human agency.
From the unit-distance disproof to Navier-Stokes, AI mathematics is advancing through new results, human follow-ons and formal proofs. What has really changed?
