Computational point-of-care sensors can significantly improve access to diagnostics by enabling rapid patient testing outside centralized medical facilities. These tests rely on machine learning models to make diagnostic ...

A team of astronomers has found the strongest evidence yet that some planets outside our solar system may be magnetic. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) and the Gemini North telescope, ...

Bryozoans are tiny, filter-feeding colonial invertebrates that thrive in the world's oceans today, yet for decades their origins presented a puzzling gap in the fossil record. While nearly every other major animal group made ...

Earth is divided into two halves: the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Both reflect equal amounts of sunlight (albedo) even though they have different landmasses and weather patterns, especially cloud distribution. Why ...

Astronomers have spent over a decade tracking a unique type of compact dwarf galaxy, which continues to surprise everyone. Known as the "Little Red Dots" for their small, red appearance, these local galaxies look much like ...

Going through surgery can take a significant toll on a patient's physical health and capabilities, especially if they are elderly. A recent study found that the effects extend far beyond mobility and pain management, as the ...

Wearable devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers have revolutionized the way we monitor our health. Worn around the clock, these devices quietly collect valuable data—from heart rate and blood oxygen levels to sleep ...

For centuries, people have been trying to assess if what we eat can make us smarter. Ancient declarations and modern superfood trends have given rise to the belief that foods can enhance brainpower. But beyond the tales and ...

Most people wouldn't think that it would take rigorous mathematical proof to show how many folds it takes to make a donut shape out of paper. Yet, no one could quite figure it out until recently.

A new noninvasive technology, called broadband optical spectroscopy (BOS), has promise for reliably detecting necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants at earlier stages, before this devastating intestinal disease ...

Video games are having a moment in the United States—but the players are getting older.

In 2025, the European Medicines Agency approved two antibodies for Alzheimer's disease: lecanemab (LeqembiTM, from Biogen) and donanemab (Kisunla, from Eli Lilly and Co.), both based on immunotherapy (the use of molecules ...
