Cases of Tick-Borne Illnesses Are on the Rise. Some Experts Believe Climate Change is the Cause
(NEW YORK) — In 2022, doctors recorded the first confirmed case of tick-borne encephalitis virus acquired in the United Kingdom. It began with a bike ride. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] A 50-year-old man was mountain biking in the North Yorkshire Moors, a national park in England known for its vast expanses of woodland and purple heather. At some point on his ride, at least one black-legged tick burrowed into his skin. Five days later, the mountain biker developed symptoms commonly associated with a viral infection — fatigue, muscle pain, fever. At first, he seemed to be on the mend, bu...

AI helps crack salt water ’s curious electrical properties
Water is a near-universal solvent, able to dissolve substances ranging from limestone to the sugar in your coffee. That chemical superpower originates, oddly enough, in water’s electrical properties. It can oppose and almost entirely cancel electric fields—including attractions among dissolved ions that might otherwise pull them together. Curiously, dissolving salt in water weakens that electrical response. Now, a team of physicists has figured out exactly why this happens, using state-of-the-art computer simulations bolstered by artificial intelligence (AI). “This is a fundamental property of water and one can ...

Grown from scratch, simulated magnetic fields could explain cosmic mystery
Far beyond the magnet on your refrigerator door, out past the magnetic fields of Earth, the Sun, and the Milky Way, are invisible field lines that permeate the barren voids between galaxies. But the genesis of these expansive fields has remained a mystery. Some have proposed that they arose as a result of the big bang, but a new study adds support to an alternative hypothesis: These fields can be born relatively easily, anywhere and anytime in the universe. The study relies on computer simulations that illustrate how gravity can stir up charged particles in ways that generate tiny magnetic seeds, which become am...

The Head of the Global Vaccine Group Gavi Is Resigning. Here ’s What He Learned During the Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic was a crucible for the public health world, and perhaps none were tested more than Gavi, the global nonprofit that makes vaccines its business. Faced with ensuring that the COVID-19 vaccines reached as many people in the developing world as possible, the organization created a new entity, COVAX, that served as the conduit for purchasing and distributing vaccines for the lowest-resource countries in the world. Dr. Seth Berkley, who has headed the organization for years, is stepping down in August when his current term ends. In a conversation with TIME, Berkley reflects on his tenure and what he, Gavi, ...
