Small farms grow much of the world's food, but from space they are nearly invisible. Their fields are tiny and ill-defined, and the satellite tools built to track crops were designed for the large, uniform fields of industrial ...

Scientists at the University of California San Diego have uncovered how genetic mutations cause a rare group of inherited neuromuscular disorders and identified promising new strategies to correct them, including a potential ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, found a source in the process of becoming a Little Red Dot, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Little Red Dots are likely early galaxies and some of the most intriguing objects ...

Organic molecular crystals can respond to external stimuli such as heat, light, and mechanical force, making them attractive candidates for next-generation functional materials. However, predicting how multiple intermolecular ...

Most people favor one hand, and that hand tends to be the better one for writing, throwing and managing chopsticks. The long-standing view is that the dominant hand is "born" more capable, its skills rooted in a brain hemisphere ...

A new Mayo Clinic study shows that integrating telomere length evaluation and genetic testing into pulmonary care can significantly change how physicians diagnose and treat pulmonary fibrosis—in some cases even redirecting ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), such as Ozempic or Wegovy, have revolutionized type 2 diabetes and weight-loss management, but they have also led to some unfortunate outcomes. A recent study in JAMA ...

Research by atmospheric scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography and colleagues pinpointed an individual coal-fired power plant in Houston as the main source of particles most likely to encourage the ...

When skin is wounded, it doesn't just send out chemical distress signals; it also generates a subtle electrical field. This "electric beacon" forms as the usual voltage across the tissue collapses, creating a guiding current ...

Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a fully synthetic soft robotic heart that reproduces the complex movements and internal structures of the human heart, opening the door to better treatments, safer medical devices ...

In almost half of all fatal electric scooter crashes in Sweden, the rider has been under the influence of alcohol. These fatal crashes occur mainly in the evenings or at night, and in all cases, no helmet was worn. This is ...

Two diamonds formed 700 kilometers below the Earth's surface reveal a life-giving synchronicity between shifting continents and the cycling of phosphorus, a vital building block of DNA and cell membranes.
