Why Physical Laws Hold Locally but Become Ambiguous Across Regimes

Physical quantities and laws emerge from the geometry, coherence, and flow of relational fields. A central idea is relational closure: high-coherence domains form effectively closed regions where stable invariants can persist.

From Innovation to Impact: Using Generative AI Safely in Patient

Artificial Intelligence(AI) is reshaping the future of healthcare. The US and UK healthcare systems started to adopt tools like AI Scribe and conversational chatbots, as they claimed to outperform clinicians in diagnostics. Survey data from over 100 physicians polled by Fierce Healthcare and Sermo indicate that many doctors are using general-purpose LLMs for clinical tasks.

How Scientists Are Discovering the Next Generation of Tuberculosis Drugs

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, claiming over a million lives each year. TB is the deadliest infectious disease known today, claiming more lives than COVID-19. TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB spreads through the air when infected people breathe, cough, sneeze,

The Power of Hybrid Yeasts: Evolution, Competition, and Fermentation

Evolution is often imagined as a process that unfolds over millions of years. However, in microorganisms such as yeasts, evolutionary changes can occur much more rapidly. Yeasts reproduce quickly, populations grow to large sizes, and genetic variations can spread through generations in a short time.

Common Misconceptions About Hypertension

For many people, it is often assumed to be a “Stress disease”. Others casually refer to it as an “Old man’s disease” based on the myth that it affects only the elderly. These assumptions, however banal, are misleading and potentially lethal.

Self-Healing Materials

Self-healing materials (SHMs) are substances that automatically repair damage, mimicking organic healing. These materials have a wide range of applications, including construction, biomedicine, transportation, and even textiles. SHMs can extend the longevity of manufactured goods and have numerous uses in medical healing (Crawford, 2024).

Peroxygenases as powerful and sustainable biocatalysts in modern biochemistry

Selective oxidation reactions are central to modern biochemistry. They enable the controlled introduction of oxygen into organic molecules, a key step in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. However, many of the enzymatic systems traditionally used for these transformations are complex and difficult to implement in practice.

Cancer, Cooperation, and Survival: Rethinking Disease Through Evolution

In this study, I explore how cancer risk is distributed across the animal kingdom, emphasizing the role of life-history traits, reproductive strategies, and social behavior in shaping susceptibility to disease. Drawing on recent findings in comparative oncology, the article examines patterns that challenge traditional assumptions, such as the relationship between body size and cancer, and highlights evolutionary mechanisms that may confer resistance in certain species.
