Nature, Published online: 01 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10507-6 A machine-learning model that uses smartphone cameras to measure heart rate in the background during normal daily phone use and subsequently estimate resting heart rate could make it easier for people to monitor heart health.

Nature, Published online: 01 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01488-7 A machine-learning system has been developed that can monitor heart rate using facial video clips that are captured passively by the user-facing camera during everyday smartphone use. The system meets industry accuracy standards for heart-rate measurement and is as accurate as wearable technology for measuring daily resting he…

_Borderless Philosophy_ 9:122-150. 2026Why "cultivating contingency" is essential to being free, including an argument for public bodies selected via sortition (random selection).

Modern political theory often equates legitimate government with procedural democracy – competitive elections, multiparty systems, and formal rights. This paper argues that Aristotle’s classical typology offers a more fundamental standard: a regime is good when it rules for the common good, regardless of how many hold government power. Drawing on global survey data showing that citizens worldwide…

_Inkanyiso_ 18 (1). 2026In this article, the author propose and argue for a Southern African-centred account of mental disorder that defines this mental condition in both evaluative and causal terms. It argues that mental illness must be understood through value judgements and primary causal factors. According to this account, for a condition to qualify as a mental disorder, it must meet three in…

This book derives and applies a predomain condition — H > K (holding exceeds dissolution) — that must hold for anything to appear at all. The argument is transcendental and self-securing: any denial of H > K from within any domain of inquiry instantiates the condition it denies. Seven structural operators co-necessary with H > K are derived and mapped to physical, logical, and mathematical instan…

_The Journal of Ethics_. forthcomingThis paper explores the relationship between suffering and pessimism in its philosophical forms. I argue that the heterogeneity of both of those concepts means that there are no simple relations between them. One can trace several distinct relationships between (forms of) suffering and (varieties of) philosophical pessimism. Suffering can be evidence for one’s …

_Zenodo_. 2026The standard treatment of fundamental constants rests on two separate domains: physical constants such as α⁻¹ = 137.036 are measured experimentally and classified by CODATA, while mathematical constants such as π and e are defined through analytic or geometric necessity. No structural criterion distinguishes derivable constants from contingent ones, and the total number of fundament…

Pollinators play a critical role in ecosystems around the world. Pollination, or the transfer of pollen that enables most flowering plants to reproduce, is essential for the majority of the fruits and vegetables we depend in for our agricultural systems. But pollination is just as critical for the health of our forest ecosystems. This makes the well-documented downward trend of global insect popu…

IntroductionThis study examines the effects of an integrated intervention combining inclusive children's literature and creative drama on the empathic tendencies of fourth-grade primary school students. Although the individual contributions of inclusive literature, creative drama, and empathy development have been documented separately in the literature, no prior study has examined how cognitive …

IntroductionNarcissistic personality traits have increasingly been associated with identity-driven and pleasure-oriented consumption patterns. In sport contexts, where visibility, achievement, and symbolic recognition are highly salient, personality-based motivations may be closely linked to consumer attitudes. Although prior research has examined the relationship between narcissism and hedonic c…

IntroductionSchool dropout is the premature interruption or extended completion of education, posing significant challenges for both individuals and educational systems worldwide.MethodsThis study explores how psychosocial factors influence the intention to dropout of school among 2,646 students from 13 secondary schools in Italy. By assessing individual (e.g., personality, behavior, mental healt…

Anthropic, the company behind the powerful artificial intelligence chatbot Claude, has filed to go public, the company said Monday.

With obesity now affecting more than 40% of U.S. adults and fueling rising rates of heart disease, a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association calls for a comprehensive treatment approach that puts physical activity front and center.

The new ELI today is 'The ocean starts here; follow the current to discover your connection to the ocean... and the fate of litter.' This activity aims to raise students’ awareness of the fact that everything that ends up in road drains (rubbish, other types of pollution), even in inland areas, will reach the ocean via waterways and will eventually be redistributed everywhere by ocean currents. R…

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin, St James's Hospital, and collaborating institutions have carried out the most comprehensive review to date of tools used to estimate breast cancer risk in women with a family history of the disease.

The Problem We Were Actually Solving I still remember the day our event processing pipeline started falling behind, unable to keep up with the sheer volume of incoming data. We were using Go at the time, and while it had served us well, the constant garbage collection pauses were killing our latency numbers. Our average processing time was around 50ms, but those pauses could stretch up to 200ms, …

Your finance team deploys an AI agent to help close the monthly books. The agent reads invoices, matches them to purchase orders, and flags mismatches. So far, so good. Then it needs to check whether the goods receipt has been posted, whether the vendor is still active, or whether the invoice has entered a dispute workflow. Suddenly, the agent stalls. This isn't a story about a weak AI model. It'…

Bambu Lab announced a new and larger desktop FFF 3D printer, the A2L. The post Bambu Lab Unveils A2L Large-Format Desktop 3D Printer appeared on Fabbaloo .

Short answer: traditional DAST scanners miss most API vulnerabilities because they crawl HTML pages an API does not have, ignore the schema that defines its real attack surface, and test for injection instead of the broken-authorization flaws that cause actual API breaches. The fix is schema-aware, authenticated testing wired into CI/CD so it runs on every pull request. The rest of this article s…
