Credit: Prudence Cuming Associates/The Royal Society Robert (Bob) Williamson was a geneticist who dedicated his career to the identification of disease-linked genes and the diagnosis and treatment of single-gene disorders. He was concerned about the ethical implications of population-wide genetic screening and using stem cells in research. Williamson was one of the first to use

The super El Niño is cooking coral reefs — can lullabies and probiotics save them? Nearly half of coral species are at risk of extinction and the currently developing super El Niño will further warm an ocean already heated by continuing climate change. So researchers are turning to unorthodox ideas to help new corals to

- October 25, 2026
Advanced artificial-intelligence models are transforming mathematics at an astonishing speed. In the past few months, AI-aided proofs — logical arguments that demonstrate why a mathematical result is correct — have been released for hundreds of long-standing maths problems. Mathematicians might need several months to fully understand the underlying arguments and implications of these automatically derived
