A new study shows that planets bigger than Earth and smaller than Neptune are common outside the Solar System. The same international team including astronomers from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) has also announced the discovery of a planet about twice the size of Earth orbiting its star farther out than Saturn is to the Sun.
Laboratory researchers converge to test and train scientific AI models
A new study, published in BMC Nutrition, demonstrates that providing medically tailored meals (MTM) to patients with heart failure (HF) and malnutrition risk following hospital discharge significantly improves their nutritional status and keeps hospital readmission rates well below local and national averages.
Since the first recorded case of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 鈥� commonly known as avian flu or bird flu 鈥� in 1996, Ian Wilson, professor of structural biology at Scripps Research, and his colleagues have been closely tracking the evolution of several key proteins using SSRL. Recently, Wilson鈥檚 team investigated the evolution of a protein that plays a crucial role in H5N1鈥檚 ability to transmit between species. Their analysis found that the protein is susceptible to a mutation that could help the virus attach to human cells, potentially increasing the risk of human transmission. The findings 鈥� published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 鈥� underscore the need for ongoing monitoring of H5N1鈥檚 evolution.
A new study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego offers a first-of-its-kind look at how deeper coordination among Western U.S. states could lower the cost of decarbonizing the electric grid鈥攁nd speed up the clean energy transition.
Researchers can now quantify uncertainty in trained AI models aimed at solving difficult chemistry, biology and materials science problems.
Pascack Valley Medical Center announces the launch of its New Moms Support Circle, a welcoming support group designed specifically for new moms. This initiative aims to provide a safe and nurturing environment where new mothers can connect, share experiences, and build lasting friendships.
The University of California Lung Cancer Consortium and AstraZeneca announced a five-year partnership to expand the Healthy Lungs California initiative, which is aimed at increasing early lung cancer detection and reducing deaths from the disease.
During an awards ceremony at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) today, Chemical and Biological Engineering professors Georges Belfort, Ph.D., and Steven Cramer, Ph.D., received the 聽2025 Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education given by the National Academy of Engineering. 聽
A simple consultation during unrelated visits to the emergency room can help patients with high blood pressure 鈥� 鈥渢he silent killer鈥� 鈥� manage the condition, even before they experience symptoms, according to new research from the University of Illinois Chicago.
People instinctively try to be strong, stiff and steady in order to cope when the environment is volatile, dynamic and even brittle. But J. Gerald Suarez says the opposite should be true: the greater the force felt from the environment, the greater the need for malleability and flexibility.
It is becoming harder and harder to ignore the environmental costs of textiles, and demand is still growing by leaps and bounds each year.聽
Cedars-Sinai is a leading transplant center, with patient outcomes that consistently meet or exceed national averages. One continuing challenge, however, is the need to suppress transplant patients鈥� immune systems to prevent their bodies from rejecting the transplant.
Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have developed a new imaging technique to study bone marrow in mouse models. This advancement could support future drug development and therapies for conditions involving bone marrow, including cancers, autoimmune diseases and musculoskeletal disorders.
Mayo Clinic Platform_Accelerate celebrated the program鈥檚 most recent cohort of health tech startups, including 15 innovative businesses from around the world.
Stony Brook University has been designated as an Opportunity College and University by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education庐, recognizing Stony Brook as an institution that can serve as a model for studying how campuses can foster student success.
Immunologist Shane Crotty, Ph.D., Professor and Chief Scientific Officer at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Switchgrass has gripped Midwestern soils for millions of years, but soon, the earthbound prairie grass could fly. New studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign identify economic and environmental considerations that make switchgrass a candidate for sustainable aviation fuel.
Researchers with UC San Diego Health identify a potential new treatment for uncontrolled high blood pressure.
An artificial intelligence (AI)-based model developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers can accurately predict which kidney cancer patients will benefit from anti-angiogenic therapy, a class of treatments that鈥檚 only effective in some cases. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, could lead to viable ways to use AI to guide treatment decisions for this and other types of cancer.
