Bridge health monitoring using existing telecommunication fiber-optic networks

Nature Communications, Published online: 21 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-76935-0 This study demonstrates that existing telecommunication fiber-optic cables can be used as dense, distributed strain sensors for structural health monitoring of bridges, enabling meter-scale measurements of guided wavefields, displacements, and modal properties across multiple bridge structures. The post Bridge…

Trimester-dependent vertical transmission of H5N1 influenza virus through placental and mammary routes impairs offspring development

Nature Communications, Published online: 21 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-76891-9 Researchers found H5N1 bird flu can spread from pregnant mice to fetuses through the placenta and to newborns through milk, causing developmental delays, smaller size, and behavioral problems, highlighting pregnancy-related risks in mammals. The post Trimester-dependent vertical transmission of H5N1 influenza…

A systematic review and meta-analysis on heat thresholds for maternal health and birth outcomes

Nature Communications, Published online: 21 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-76822-8 Pregnant individuals can be particularly vulnerable to environmental heat exposure. Here, the authors report a systematic review and meta-analysis that identifies temperature thresholds associated with increasing risks of adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. The post A systematic review and meta-analysis on…

AI Identifies Pre-existing Antimicrobial Antibody Profile That May Predict Immune Response to Vaccination

Researchers analyzing antibody profiles in thousands of individuals have discovered that pre-existing antibodies to common microbes can predict the strength of new vaccine responses. The Arizona State University (ASU) team measured antibodies against 185 antigens—including those from common viruses, bacteria, and targets associated with autoimmune diseases—in blood samples from 4,000…

Skull Immune Structures May Provide First Response Against Brain Cancer

For decades, scientists assumed that the brain and the immune system did not communicate. A study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine (WashU Medicine) in St. Louis has now revealed that the brain not only communicates with the immune system but also has positioned immune “security stations” nearby. The team discovered lymph node-like … Skull Immune Structures May Provide…

Scientists Analyze 267 Receptors That Control Protein Fate in Rare Diseases

Researchers from the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (IIMCB) say they have created the first systematic catalog of the substrate receptors of cullin–RING ligases and analyzed how their genetic variants may translate into disease symptoms. Their review article “Cullin-RING receptors in rare disease biology” appears in Trends in Cell Biology. Wojciech … Scientists…

Protecting Scientific Intent in AI-Enabled Labs by Not Letting AI Set the Mission

AI is neither saint nor demon. Nor should it be a replacement for human scientists. As AI takes on greater roles in designing, executing, and analyzing experiments and processes, scientists understand that even the best AI needs human supervision. The big question is how much oversight is needed and whether—or the extent to which—AI interactions … Protecting Scientific Intent in AI-Enabled Labs by…
