For The Better

Researchers have created a novel learning-based framework that will help Alzheimer’s patients accurately pinpoint where they are within the disease-development spectrum. This will allow them to best predict the timing of the later stages, making it eas…

Ground-penetrating radar on board NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover has confirmed that the Jezero Crater, formed by an ancient meteor impact just north of the Martian equator, once harbored a vast lake and river delta. Over eons, sediment deposition and e…

Researchers describe how specific gene activity could potentially enhance immune cell production. The researchers wanted to understand the mechanism of why some hematopoietic stem cells produce more immune cells, while other stem cells produce fewer. T…

Large coastal upwelling systems along the eastern margins of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are among the most biologically productive and biodiverse regions of the world’s oceans. Typically, the strength and timing of upwelling in such systems are li…

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed a soft implantable device with dozens of sensors that can record single-neuron activity in the brain stably for months.

Scientists have harnessed the power of specially made nanostructures to enhance the neural response in a locust’s brain to specific odors and to improve their identification of those odors.

Researchers identified a retinal disease to evaluate the success of gene and cell replacement therapy.

A new review of available evidence suggests that female reproductive characteristics may be overlooked as risk factors that contribute to later metabolic dysfunction.

TOI-1136, a dwarf star located more than 270 light years from Earth, is host to six confirmed exoplanets and a seventh as yet unconfirmed candidate. The system has provided a rich source of information on planet formation and evolution in a young solar…

Researchers have uncovered a distinctive network of lymphatic vessels at the back of the nose that plays a critical role in draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain. The study, sheds light on a previously unknown route for CSF outflow, potenti…

A new statistical tool improves the ability to find genetic variants that cause disease. The tool combines data from genome wide association studies (GWAS) and predictions of genetic expression to limit the number of false positives and more accurately…

The spongelike structure of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) allows these polymers to possibly carry and deliver a range of therapeutic compounds. Now, researchers treated a chromium-containing MOF with a dose of acetic acid, more concentrated than in v…

Physicists propose a novel way to create photoconductive circuits, where the circuit is directly patterned onto a glass surface with femtosecond laser light. The new technology may one day be useful for harvesting energy, while remaining transparent to…
