The Nature Podcast from May 28, 2025, covers three intriguing scientific developments. Firstly, it addresses concerns over an increase in low-quality biomedical papers attributed to AI-generated analyses of public datasets. Secondly, researchers have unveiled a remarkable innovation: contact lenses that allow wearers to perceive infrared light, opening doors for applications ranging from search and rescue to sensitive communications. Lastly, geologists have found compelling evidence suggesting a leak from Earth’s core, based on volcanic rocks in Hawaii, necessitating additional research to explore this phenomenon further.
A new wave of biomedical papers, many relying on AI for analyses of public datasets, raises significant concerns regarding quality, authenticity, and potential misinterpretations in scientific research.
Researchers have developed innovative infrared contact lenses that grant users the unique ability to see in the infrared spectrum, with practical applications in various fields including emergency rescue and stealth communication.
Geologists have discovered compelling evidence indicating that Earth's core may be leaking, as volcanic rocks from Hawaii display distinctive isotopes pointing to a core origin, warranting further investigation to confirm.
