A new study from Penn State College of Medicine, to be presented at the SLEEP 2026 annual meeting, found that excessive daytime sleepiness is associated with higher odds of both prevalent and incident hypertension, and taking ...

As medical schools increasingly turn to virtual reality, 3D models and digital simulations, a new correspondence in Nature Medicine argues that one essential part of clinical training remains difficult to digitize: the hands-on ...

Experts in Heidelberg, Germany, have developed an AI system that can classify brain tumors with unprecedented accuracy using standard microscopic tissue sections. Using digitized standard stains, the system identifies more ...

A new study to be presented at the SLEEP 2026 annual meeting found that people place different financial values on sleep, with those differences linked to factors such as age, income and existing attitudes about sleep.

Interpreting medical ultrasound images is a difficult task, requiring a technician to look at 2D images and mentally arrange them into a 3D representation of what the tissue looks like. To make that job easier, MIT researchers ...

A new study from UC San Francisco shows how certain cells in the brain may cause aneurysms to weaken and rupture. It helps explain why some aneurysms burst while others do not and could lead to new ways of predicting and ...

Researchers have uncovered new insights into how phosphorus from recycled materials moves through soil—offering guidance to support more sustainable fertilizer use. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plant growth, yet ...

A novel electrolyte technology that overcomes the persistent limitations of aqueous batteries has been developed by a Korean research team. The team, led by Professor Hoseok Park of the Department of Chemical Engineering, ...
