Humans have been placed 7th out of 35 mammal species in a new study ranking monogamy, outperforming meerkats and gibbons — but falling short of more committed species such as Eurasian beavers and moustached tamarins. The research, led by Dr Mark Dyble of the University of Cambridge, compared levels of genetic relatedness across species. By calculating how often siblings shared both parents rather than just one, scientists could estimate how monogamous each species tends to be. Humans showed 66% full siblings, placing us firmly within the “monogamous league”, while beavers scored 72% and meerkats 60%. At the top of the…

A new variant of mpox has been identified in England after a recent traveler from Asia tested positive, health officials confirmed. Genome sequencing revealed the infection to be a recombinant strain, combining genetic material from clade 1, the more severe form of the virus, and clade 2, which was responsible for the 2022 global outbreak. The UK Health Security Agency said it is assessing the significance of the variant, noting that viral evolution is expected while multiple strains circulate. Although most mpox cases remain mild, experts urged eligible individuals to get vaccinated as a precaution. Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox,…

US Updates Rules on Advanced Technology Exports US President Donald Trump now allows Nvidia to sell its H200 AI chips to “approved customers” in China. He says the move protects national security, supports American jobs, and keeps the US ahead in artificial intelligence. The policy also covers other US chipmakers like AMD and follows lobbying from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who recently visited Washington. Nvidia Navigates US–China Pressures Nvidia, the world’s leading chipmaker and most valuable company, faces pressure from both Washington and Beijing. The firm previously faced a ban on selling its most advanced chips to China. Trump lifted…

Gene therapy is showing promise for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare and progressive muscle disease. Dyne Therapeutics announced that its Phase 1/2 trial of Z‑Rostudirsen delivered positive topline results, including a significant increase in dystrophin, a key protein that supports muscle function. DMD is caused by a genetic mutation that prevents the body from producing dystrophin. Without this protein, muscles weaken over time, leading to serious complications and loss of mobility. Current treatments are limited, making new therapies a critical need for patients and families. The trial results reveal that patients receiving Z‑Rostudirsen experienced a statistically significant rise in…

Australia Sets 16-Year Age Limit on Social MediaAustralia has introduced a stringent regulation restricting social media use among minors, forbidding individuals under 16 from creating accounts on major platforms. The law holds tech companies responsible for enforcement, with heavy fines for those that fail to comply. Authorities cite concerns about children’s exposure to harmful content and the impact on mental health. Skeptics question the practicality of verifying ages and worry that minors may move to less-monitored online spaces. European Countries Consider Stricter RulesEuropean lawmakers are also taking steps to limit youth access to social networks. The European Parliament has recommended…
