A mixture of bacteria lounge in a dish. Like the bugs populating our guts, most are benign or beneficial. But a deadly strain hides among them. These bacteria can easily escape last-line antibiotics, rapidly spread, and cause mayhem.But in this case, a single dose of genetically engineered cells hunts them down and wipes out nearly the entire population in a day, while leaving all the other harmless cells alone.This strategy, called minicell therapy, fights fire with fire: Researchers engineer hunter cells by stripping bacteria of the ability to replicate and then genetically loading them up with proteins to home in…

EE is taking aim at one of streaming’s biggest annoyances, endlessly scrolling for something to watch. The company has launched Smart Search, a new AI-powered feature on EE TV.

A striking new study, conducted by researchers at Stanford University and published last week in the journal Science, confirmed that human-like chatbots are prone to obsequiously affirm and flatter users leaning on the tech for advice and insight — and that this behavior, known as AI sycophancy, is a “prevalent and harmful” function endemic to the tech that can validate users’ erroneous or destructive ideas and promote cognitive dependency. “AI sycophancy is…

For any person spending six to eight hours in a chair, ergonomic discomfort is inevitable. And if it’s not given due attention, the discomfort quickly spirals into a nagging pain. I ignored it, and learned a bitter lesson, one that left me with sore back and neck strain for many years. It took plenty of workouts and medications before I realized it was my workstation setup that was the root cause. For millions of desk-bound warriors across the world, the story is no different than mine. Hbada, with 16 years’ worth of research and expertise in ergonomics, knows that all…
