The famous St. Bernard rescue dogs continue to walk the mountain trails of the Great St. Bernard Pass as Barryland, the world's only theme park dedicated to the breed, celebrates its first anniversary. The iconic St. Bernard dogs are still roaming the Alpine trails where they built their legendary reputation as mountain rescuers centuries ago. At the Great St. Bernard Pass on the Swiss-Italian border, the Barry Foundation now cares for 32 dogs, preserving the historic breed while supporting animal-assisted visits to hospitals, schools and care homes. Meanwhile, Barryland, the world's only theme park dedicated to St. Bernards, is celebrating its first anniversary after welcoming around 135,000 visitors in its first year. The park showcases the breed's rescue history through interactive exhibits while helping preserve one of Switzerland's best-known national symbols. Watch the video for the full story.

Billions of mRNA vaccine doses’ review underpins their effectiveness

A review of data covering billions of doses of mRNA vaccines has found "compelling" evidence that the technology is both safe and highly effective against infectious diseases, with researchers arguing that the focus should now shift to improving access. The mRNA vaccine — first deployed at scale during the COVID-19 pandemic — remains highly effective at preventing severe disease and serious adverse events remain rare, according to the review, published in The Lancet. Unlike traditional...

Comments on the paper "Eliminating beam-induced depolarizing effects in the hydrogen jet target for high-precision proton beam polarimetry at the Electron-Ion Collider"

Announce Type: new Abstract: A critical review of the methodology used in F. Rathmann et al., Phys. Beams 29, 021001 (2026), to evaluate beam-induced depolarization of the Atomic Polarized Hydrogen Gas Jet (HJET) target at the Electron--Ion Collider (EIC) is presented. It is shown that several key assumptions underlying that analysis -- including the introduction of a photon emission threshold, the application of Fermi's Golden Rule to coherent hyperfine transitions, the interpretation of...

Explainable Artificial Intelligence For The Detection and Characterisation of Stage B Heart Failure

arXiv:2606.30665v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Stage B heart failure is characterized by asymptomatic structural or functional cardiac abnormalities. Identifying individuals at this stage is clinically important, as early detection may enable targeted interventions to prevent progression to symptomatic disease. Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) may support early detection, transparent risk stratification, and selection of clinically actionable interventions.
