Smoothed asymptotics: from number theory to QFT
Inspired by the method of smoothed asymptotics developed by Terence Tao, we introduce a new ultra-violet regularisation scheme for loop integrals in quantum field theory which we call $η$ regularisation. This allows us to reveal a surprising connection between the elimination of divergences in divergent series of powers and the preservation of gauge invariance in the regularisation of loop integrals in quantum field theory. In particular, we note that a method for regularising the series of na…

- the first time that had happened over a five-year period.
Without vaccination, around 23 deaths would have been expected.
"It's incredible to think that a single jab can almost eliminate a particular type of cancer,"
said Prof Peter Sasieni, the lead researcher at Queen Mary University of London.

Cervical cancer deaths fall to zero in young women given vaccine
A new study finds that hundreds of lives have been saved since school-age girls were offered the HPV jab in 2008.

Americans and AI 2026: Chatbots, Smart Devices and Views on Impact
More Americans are using chatbots, and some are adopting AI summaries and smart speakers. But views about AI and how fast it’s advancing tilt negative – even for younger adults.

The convicted fraudster George Cottrell transferred a total of more than $2m to his mother, Fiona Cottrell,
in the days before her 2024 donations to Reform UK, the Guardian understands.
Financial industry sources told the Guardian that Fiona received one deposit of $1.4m and two tranches of more than $300,000 each
– money she attributed to having come from her son, George, when bankers asked about the deposits.
On each occasion, the Guardian understands transfers were…
