Medical diagnostics expert, doctor’s assistant, and cartographer are all fair titles for an artificial intelligence model developed by researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. Their new model accurately identifies tumors and diseases in medical images and is programm...

Identifying and characterizing repeated DNA sequences, sometimes called “junk DNA” or “dark matter” within chromosomes, which may play a role in cancer or other diseases, has proven to be difficult. Now, investigators at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed a...

A gene previously associated with intellectual disability has been discovered to control learning and memory in mice. The gene, called KDM5B has previously been linked to some intellectual disability disorders and autism. In the general population, some variants are also associated with reduced brai...

Carbonated concrete could help reduce emissions associated with cement production. By using a carbonated — rather than a still — water-based solution during the concrete manufacturing process, a Northwestern University-led team of engineers has discovered a new way to store carbon dioxide (CO2) in t...

Fragments from the early cosmos help unravel the mystery of our solar system’s birth. Iron meteorites are remnants of the metallic cores of the earliest asteroids in our solar system. Iron meteorites contain refractory metals, such as iridium and platinum, that formed near the sun but were transport...

Research from Harvard University reveals that high intake of heme iron, found in red meat, is associated with a 26% increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Researchers identified a significant link between heme iron—iron found in red meat and other animal products —and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), as w...

A study indicates that type 2 diabetes may impair the elimination of Alzheimer’s-related proteins, suggesting potential strategies to mitigate cognitive risks by managing blood sugar levels. People with type 2 diabetes are at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other cogn...

Robotics and additive manufacturing lead to stronger concrete. Researchers at Princeton Engineering have enhanced the crack resistance of concrete components by drawing inspiration from nature. They combined innovative designs with additive manufacturing techniques and utilized industrial robots to ...

Researchers have developed a new detector that analyzes antineutrinos emitted by nuclear reactors to monitor their activities from great distances. This technology, which utilizes the phenomena of Cherenkov radiation, could revolutionize how we ensure reactors are not producing material for nuclear ...

Caltech scientists have introduced a revolutionary machine-learning-driven technique for accurately measuring the mass of individual particles using advanced nanoscale devices. This method could dramatically enhance our understanding of proteomes by allowing for the mass measurement of proteins in t...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a machine learning algorithm that can detect heart murmurs in dogs with 90% accuracy, akin to expert cardiologists. This breakthrough offers an affordable, effective screening tool that could significantly improve the quality of life for dogs...

Carnegie Mellon researchers have used FRESH 3D bioprinting to create the first collagen-based microphysiologic systems, offering new hope for Type 1 diabetes treatment. Collagen is widely recognized for its role in maintaining healthy skin, but its importance extends far beyond that. As the most abu...

Continuous glucose monitoring provides a new, less invasive method for evaluating diabetes risk. Fluctuations in blood glucose are more than just daily energy swings—they may hold the key to identifying diabetes risk earlier and more easily, without the need for needle-based tests. Researchers at th...

Portable technology captures molecules in breath to support medical care, from managing diabetes to monitoring newborn development. If you’ve ever waited at the doctor’s office to give a blood sample, you might have wished there were a way to get the same information without using needles. Despite m...

A team of engineers has unveiled a revolutionary mini-spectrometer that can fit on a fingertip and operate with low voltage, scanning light from UV to near-infrared in under a millisecond. This game-changing device replaces bulky traditional spectrometers and could soon be embedded in smartphones, u...

A Penn State team created a breath sensor that identifies diabetes by detecting acetone. The device is fast, non-invasive, and built with laser-induced graphene for precision. In the United States, nearly one in five of the 37 million adults living with diabetes is unaware of their condition. Standa...

Diabetes drugs may be doing more than managing blood sugar, they could also shape cancer biology in unexpected ways. New research is taking a closer look at how diabetes drugs may relate to cancer, with an emphasis on effects that go beyond lowering blood sugar or supporting weight control. Although...

I have heard a lot about people misusing REST, and I would rather do it properly than improperly when writing an API for myself, since it seems like I could learn something about good APIs, since the people who came up with REST thought so long about how they should work. What are the best resource...
