Researchers have developed an automated version of the viral plaque assay, the gold-standard method for detecting and quantifying viruses. The new method uses time-lapse holographic imaging and deep learning to greatly reduce detection time and eliminate staining and manual counting. This advance could help streamline the development of new vaccines and antiviral drugs. Yuzhu Li from Ozcan Lab at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), will present this research at Frontiers in Optics + Laser Science ( FiO LS ), which will be held 9 – 12 October 2023 at the Greater Tacoma Convention Center in Tacoma (Greater Seattle Area), Washington.

Nicolas Batum has been part of France's national team for about 15 years now. He was part of a gold-medal game loss to the U.S. at the Tokyo Olympics. Part of another gold-medal game loss at last year's EuroBasket. Part of a pair of semifinal-round losses at the last two FIBA World Cups. Those were all difficult. To him, though, this was worse. Much worse. France — a medal favorite in the eyes of many entering this World Cup and the No. 5-ranked team in the world according to FIBA — won't even get out of the first round of this tournament, a massive embarrassment for a team that will consider itself a gold-medal favorite when it plays host to the Paris Olympics in 11 months.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was the first chair of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' board of sponsors, a group composed of the world's leading scientists based at the University of Chicago. Because I serve as the bulletin's president, I am fielding a lot of questions lately about why I think Christopher Nolan's eponymous film about Oppenheimer, which hit theaters nationwide on Friday, is resonating so deeply with the public. The all-star cast, feted director, and script -- based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography 'American Prometheus' -- all forecast a big opening weekend, of course.

ZAMBOANGA CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines —The Salilig family is taking with a grain of salt reports that a person of interest in the hazing death of John Matthew had committed suicide. The police revealed on Friday that a certain Sakmal took his life and was found by his father in his apartment in Taguig City on Feb. 28, 10 days after Matthew died in Biñan City, Laguna, from blows during 'welcoming' rites by the Adamson University chapter of Tau Gamma Phi fraternity. Jeoffrey Salilig, Matthew's father, told reporters here that at first he was saddened about the suicide, but without proof, they would treat the information with doubt.

Novak Djokovic on Sunday hinted at a run at the first calendar Grand Slam since 1969 after securing a record men's 23rd Grand Slam title on Sunday. When asked if his goal now was to win a '24th, 25th' Grand Slam title, he told France 2 TV: 'Yes, why not. I feel good this year, I won the two Grand Slams that I played (Melbourne then Roland Garros). So why not? 'I'm going to look to win Wimbledon again. I've won the last four Wimbledons, I feel good on the grass.' Rod Laver in 1969 was the last man to sweep all four Slams — Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open — in the same year.
