Scientists have created an AI model that forecasts moderate heat stress—a major precursor to coral bleaching—at sites along Florida's Coral Reef up to six weeks ahead, with predictions generally accurate within one week. ...

Brazilian researchers have developed a synthetic compound that has the potential to treat malaria and block its transmission. The new molecule acts during three phases of the disease cycle, eliminating the asexual form of ...

Chlamydia pneumoniae—a common bacterium that causes pneumonia and sinus infections—can linger in the eye and brain for years and may aggravate Alzheimer's disease, according to a study from Cedars-Sinai. Published in ...

Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a new way to structure light in custom, repeatable, three-dimensional patterns, all without the use of ...

It's been almost five years since the end of the COVID lockdowns. Yet the world is still continuing to learn about how mental health changed during—and after—this unprecedented time.

Imagine shining a flashlight into a material and watching the light bend backward—or in an entirely unexpected direction—as if defying the law of physics. This phenomenon, known as negative refraction, could transform ...

Hospital beds are a brutally concrete resource. When they're full, surgeries get delayed, hallways become overflow wards, and staff burn out. So a question I keep coming back to is simple: can the way we label food, those ...

An analysis of an unusual enzyme could result in a new generation of antimicrobial medicines to counter antibiotic resistance. Key details in the enzyme-driven biosynthesis of a natural molecule with potent antibiotic activity ...

Some brands of bottled water contain significantly higher levels of microplastics than tap water, according to new research by scientists who have developed a novel method for detecting these tiny particles.

You check into a hotel and toss and turn all night, but your sleep improves the following night. Scientists at Nagoya University wanted to understand why this happens. Working with mice, they have identified a group of neurons ...

For people who are at high risk of developing breast cancer, frequent screenings with ultrasound can help detect tumors early. MIT researchers have now developed a miniaturized ultrasound system that could make it easier ...

For patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer, the addition of palbociclib to maintenance anti-HER2 and endocrine therapies leads to improved ...
