SANTA CLARA, California: US semiconductor toolmaker Applied Materials Inc said on Monday (May 22) it plans to spend up to US$4 billion (RM18 billion) on a research centre in the heart of Silicon Valley to speed up advances in semiconductor manufacturing. The centre based in Sunnyvale, California, will come on line in 2026 and create up to 2,000 engineering jobs, said Applied, the world's biggest maker of tools used in manufacturing chips.

By analyzing the genomes of more than 335,000 people and using questionnaires to assess their meat intake, scientists have identified one point in the human genome — rs72884519 on 18 — that is significantly associated with following a . In a separate analysis, the researchers identified three gene variants — NPC1, RMC1, and RIOK3 — clustered in that same region that are linked to vegetarianism, as well as another 31 genes elsewhere in the genetic code that may have a "possible role" in this dietary choice. .

Experiencing a belly-flop into a pool teaches us that water can feel unexpectedly solid when approached from the wrong angle. Interestingly, numerous kingfisher species manage to dive headfirst into water seamlessly to capture their aquatic prey. "There's gotta be something they're doing that protects them from the negative influences of repeatedly landing on their heads on the water's surface." Chad Eliason, a research scientist at the Field Museum in Chicago and lead author of the study, highlights, "It's a high-speed dive from air to water, and it's done by very few bird species." The recent scientific investigation published in Communications Biology delves into the genetic makeup of 30 different kingfisher species, aiming to unveil the genetic factors that enable these birds to dive effectively without causing harm to their brains.

A neuron is often defined by the identity of the neurotransmitter it releases (i.e., glutamatergic, GABAergic, cholinergic, etc.), with this label specifying the function of a neuron within a circuit. However, the designation of a molecule as the "principal" neurotransmitter of a neuron obscures the genuine diversity of synaptic signaling and hampers further inquiries into neuronal and circuit function, as many, if not all, neurons release more than one neurotransmitter.

The team, in collaboration with Insilico Medicine and other institutions, employed Insilico Medicine's generative AI target discovery engine called PandaOmics to pinpoint actionable drug targets and validate them in preclinical models. Cystinosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by the abnormal buildup and accumulation of the amino acid cystine within cells throughout the body.
