Media invitation: Fields Medals and cutting-edge math at ICM 2026 in Philadelphia

Simons Foundation
Meeting Announcement

Members of the press are invited to the world’s most prestigious mathematics conference, which will take place at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia from July 23 to July 30, 2026. Held every four years, the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) includes the announcement of the field’s top prizes — including the Fields Medals — as well as top talks from leading mathematicians on cutting-edge developments in the field.

CAR-T cells with a navigation system

Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found a way to improve CAR-T cancer therapy to treat lymphoma. By additionally engineering the cells to express the receptor CCR7, they show in “Cancer Immunology Research” that the CAR-T cells penetrate lymph nodes more efficiently and kill cancer cells quickly.

Addressing anxiety and depression in women

PNAS Nexus
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Women make up half the world’s population yet are the focus of relatively little research, leading to deficits in their mental health care. A Perspective shares key takeaways from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine workshop, “Essential Health Care Services Related to Anxiety and Mood Disorders in Women,” which was organized to provide recommendations to the United States Health Resources and Services Administration. The Perspective describes the challenge facing women and offers several evidence-based solutions.

Science and AI-enabled research platforms

PNAS Nexus
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In an Editorial, Vaughan C. Turekian, Executive Director of the Office of International Networks, Cooperation, and Security at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine argues that science is entering a new phase. In an era of vast computational power, automated experiments, and AI, science will increasingly be built around integrated platforms that link data, models, computing, and instrumentation at scale.

Budget-friendly lab-grown steak with realistic texture cooked up

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study demonstrates that preloading plant-derived cellulose scaffolds with growth factors supports the cost-efficient proliferation and differentiation of bovine stem cells for cultivated meat. By binding these vital proteins directly to an anisotropic, directionally frozen framework instead of dispersing them in liquid media, this method achieves high-quality tissue development using up to ten times fewer expensive factors. Upon multi-week cultivation and subsequent pan-frying, the cell-bound constructs show partially similar mechanical and visual responses to traditional sirloin cuts

BSC inaugurates its third quantum computer, EuroQCS-Spain, in the renovated Torre Girona chapel

Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Business Announcement

The new computer, co-funded by the European Commission and the Government of Spain with an investment of €9.8 million, adds new capabilities to the European supercomputing and quantum computing landscape by presenting an analog coding technology, complementary to the quantum system previously installed at BSC

Brains of older people must work harder to keep us from falling

UCD Research & Innovation
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers from University College Dublin (UCD) and the ULB Neuroscience Institute have shed light on the brain mechanisms underlying age-related changes in postural control. Their research paves the way for better understanding and mitigation of the risk of falls.
