RFK Jr. Is Supporting mRNA Research—Just Not for Vaccines

wired.com Emily Mullin 2026-02-07 10:07:53

This month, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced that it was canceling 22 contracts and investments worth nearly $500 million as a part of a “coordinated wind-down” of mRNA vaccine research. Yet some projects that do not involve mRNA or vaccines have been caught up in the purge. At the same time, the administration has quietly endorsed research into mRNA treatments for cancer and genetic disorders. HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has long been suspicious of mRNA vaccines

Doctors Using AI Quickly Lose Ability to Spot Cancer, Study Finds

Image by Getty / Futurism Studies For years now, AI cancer detection has been touted as being as good as or better than doctors — but given the results of a recent trial, for some doctors, AI seems to have greatly hampered their abilities instead. In a new study published in the journal The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology, researchers led by the Medical University of Silesia in Poland found, upon surveying 19 doctors from four endoscopy practices between September 2021 and March 2022, t

Norton VPN review: A VPN that fails to meet Norton's standards

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-07 15:00:37

One thing I need to make clear right from the start: this is a review of Norton VPN (formerly Norton Secure VPN, and briefly Norton Ultra VPN) as a standalone app, not of the VPN feature in the Norton 360 package. They're similar, but Norton VPN has a few more features, including the ability to choose cities as server locations in countries with more than one option. I'll state my opinion up front. Norton VPN isn't a bad service, but it's not good enough to get ahead of its direct competitors.

Nintendo is putting an extremely rare GameCube game on Switch 2 next week

When Nintendo announced that it was adding GameCube games to its (inexplicably Switch 2-only) Nintendo Switch Online offering, people were understandably excited about the likes of Super Mario Sunshine and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker joining the service.

Mesmerizing Hypnoloid, a Kinetic Desktop Sculpture

This Hypnoloid object is sort of the opposite of a spinning top. Whereas a top contacts the surface it's balancing on only at its point, the Hypnoloid contacts the surface with every square millimeter of its surface area. The shape is called an oloid, and it's a bit difficult to understand. The 20th-century German sculptor, inventor and mathematician Paul Schatz, who discovered it, describes it thusly: "If the distance of two centers of disk is equal to the radius, then the convex hull produce

Tesla Is Making a Move in New York City That Regulators Absolutely Hate
