For The Better

Researchers have engineered a record number of six, silicon-based, spin qubits in a fully interoperable array. Importantly, the qubits can be operated with a low error-rate that is achieved with a new chip design, an automated calibration procedure, an…

Scientists have discovered that an extreme weather event that resulted in rapid sea temperature drops of up to 10 degrees was the primary cause of a catastrophic coral die-off event off the coast of Costa Rica.

The number of Americans with cardiovascular disease who are food insecure — having limited or uncertain access to adequate food — has more than doubled over the last 20 years, a national study finds. Adults with cardiovascular disease were more than …

Researchers have implemented a ground-breaking algorithm for reconstructing particles at the Large Hadron Collider. The project is part of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment — one of seven installed experiments which uses detectors to analyze …

High blood pressure means faster slide into signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s, but does not explain the overall disparity between Hispanic/Latino people and non-Hispanic people in dementia risk.

Researchers have discovered a protein that is responsible for controlling cell growth in yeasts. Since humans and yeasts have remarkably similar cellular mechanisms, teasing out the differences presents drug developers with new targets for treatments.

A study details the severe degradation and deforestation caused by gold mining in tropical forests, as well as the biophysical challenges associated with effectively restoring these landscapes.

Physicists are using small wheeled robots to better understand these indirect mechanical interactions, how they play a role in active matter, and how we can control them.

Landslides are inevitable, but landslide disasters are not. With this in mind, the U.S. Geological Survey has released a new report that details the strategic actions necessary to equitably reduce the Nation’s risk from landslide hazards.

Ailing neurons plagued with an accumulation of double-strand breaks in their DNA may instigate an inflammatory response from the brain’s microglia immune cells, a new study shows.

A team of researchers reports that molecular mechanisms of brain development during early life are likely a major determinant of obesity risk.

A research team has found asteroid impacts on the Moon millions of years ago coincided precisely with some of the largest meteorite impacts on Earth, such as the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Supporting emotional connection between a premature baby and mother during the intensive care unit treatment effectively improves the baby’s brain development. The effects are clearly visible in the baby’s brain network function and later neurocognitiv…

A new drug capsule can help large proteins such as insulin and small-molecule drugs be absorbed in the digestive tract. The capsule has a robotic cap that spins and tunnels through the mucus barrier when it reaches the small intestine, allowing drugs c…

Dogs can smell stress from human sweat and breath, a new study has found.

Scientists pinpoint an unusual culprit in cancer: a family of genes that respond to temperature changes in the body.

Many diseases have at their origin a protein that does not function properly. Now, a multidisciplinary research team  has found a way to deliver a protein quickly, effectively and briefly to the brain, with therapeutic and scientific implications.

A novel PET radiotracer can accurately assess the presence of a biomarker that indicates the level of tumor aggressiveness in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). According to new research, the detection of the biomarker provides useful information for phy…
