Earlier this year Apple introduced a new initiative called “Everyone Can Create,” a curriculum focused around using the iPad as a tool for students to learn more about music, video, photography, and drawing. It’s been used by 350 schools as a preview and today, Apple says it’s available to all.

The Everyone Can Create curriculum includes four project guides available in Apple Books with a total of 300 lesson ideas. Each guide contains a series of projects that help students progressively build skills in the aforementioned creative areas, learning vocabulary and techniques specific to each field. The lessons aren’t specific for arts teachers, but can be used across disciplines.

Everyone Can Create is designed to make use of Apple’s newly…

Lack of estrogen may play a role in the development of anxiety and memory problems, according to a new rodent study.

Physicians who specialize in a devastating and aggressive immune disorder called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) report in a new study that extra care should be taken to ensure an HLH diagnosis doesn’t obscure possible underlying cancers. They caution that expediting HLH treatment may miss underlying malignancies that could end up being fatal to the patient.

Devising a source of ultra-fast X-ray pulsating in the attosecond range is no mean feat. It enables physicists to probe dynamic processes in matter with unprecedented time resolution. Now, a team of physicists has exploited an optical phenomenon, opening the door to creating high-order oscillations in existing light sources and a beam source pulsating in an ultra-fast manner to reach the attosecond range.

In a proof-of-principle study, researchers report that a certain liver immune cell called a macrophage contains only defective or inert HIV-1 copies, and aren’t likely to restart infection on their own in HIV-1-infected people on long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART).
