90% of Biomedical Papers Now Show Signs of AI-Assisted Writing

90% of Biomedical Papers Now Show Signs of AI-Assisted Writing

A preprint posted to arXiv on 12 August 2026 estimates that nearly nine out of ten biomedical papers published in December 2025 and archived in PubMed Central show signs of AI-assisted writing. The figure is far above earlier published estimates, and it reframes a question the research community has been treating as speculative: large language model (LLM) use in scientific writing is no longer an emerging trend to monitor. It is the default condition of the literature. The trajectory in...
Exoskeletons Are Stepping Out of the Clinic — and Into Everyday Life

Exoskeletons Are Stepping Out of the Clinic — and Into Everyday Life

No tags added.

Posted on 19 August, 2026 by Mehrdad Fathi

In 2009, biomechanical engineer Daniel Ferris predicted that by 2024, people would be strolling through malls and city streets wearing robotic exoskeletons. He now admits he was “jumping the gun” — but a recent feature in Nature shows just how close his vision has come to reality. From replacing function to augmenting it For years, exoskeletons lived almost exclusively in clinics, helping people recover from stroke or spinal-cord injury. The design philosophy was replacement:...
Before Shells and Skeletons: Why 1.7-Billion-Year-Old Microfossils Matter for the Future of Life Science

Before Shells and Skeletons: Why 1.7-Billion-Year-Old Microfossils Matter for the Future of Life Science

For roughly 90% of Earth’s history, our planet belonged to microbes. The leap from single-celled bacteria to plants, animals, and fungi is arguably the most consequential transition in biology — and yet the fossil evidence for it remains remarkably thin. Paleontologist Ross Anderson (University of Oxford) is working to change that. His team searches some of Earth’s oldest rocks for eukaryotic microfossils — the earliest cells with a nucleus and organelles like mitochondria. These “crown...
AI Can Run the Experiments — But It Can’t Yet Ask the Right Questions

AI Can Run the Experiments — But It Can’t Yet Ask the Right Questions

The promise of a fully autonomous “AI scientist” — a system that generates hypotheses, runs experiments, and writes up publishable findings without human intervention — has been one of the most ambitious claims in the technology sector. A new study, reported by Nature this August, delivers a sobering and instructive verdict: even in the field AI knows best, its own, artificial intelligence is not yet ready to research itself. A Higher Bar Than Peer Review Researchers at Princeton...
