Listening in on dolphins reveals acoustic clues to food and friendship hotspots
For dolphins living along Florida’s Atlantic coast, the ocean is far more than a physical landscape. It is an acoustic environment shaped by whistles, echolocation...
Signals Recruit and Dispatch Components Across Reconfigurable Phase-Separated Protocell Networks
A new study has brought scientists one step closer to building artificial cell communities that can sense signals, reorganize themselves and distribute molecular cargo with...
Transfer Learning Recalibrates Deployment Data for Better Survival Prediction Under Covariate Shifts
Clinical prediction models are often built with an implicit assumption: that the people who will eventually use a medical risk score resemble the patients whose...
Atomically Thin Amorphous Carbon Achieves an Ultralow Dielectric Constant
A material that is only a few atoms thick has emerged as a potential solution to one of modern electronics’ most stubborn problems: unwanted electrical...
Scientists uncover how inflammatory molecules drive cancer progression
Colorectal cancer may resist immunotherapy not only because tumor cells acquire genetic changes, but also because inflammatory signals can reprogram their epigenetic state, according to...
Five new Cyprus wasp species discovered, including one named after Aphrodite
Scientists have identified five species of parasitoid wasp previously unknown to science in Cyprus, more than doubling the number of chalcid wasps known to occur...
Dual-frequency photoacoustic imaging maps vessels and oxygenation across the mouse brain
A new imaging study has brought scientists closer to seeing the living brain as a complete, functioning vascular system rather than as a collection of...
Locus-Specific Analysis Reveals Genetic Risk Mechanisms Behind Complex Diseases
Genetic studies of complex diseases have generated an enormous catalogue of risk variants, yet the catalogue has often been easier to build than to interpret....
How AI-Discovered Problem-Solving Strategies Spread and Persist in Human Culture
A new study suggests that artificial intelligence may do more than solve problems in isolation: its discoveries can enter human culture, spread from person to...
How Application Behavior Drives Undermatching in New York City School Choice
New York City’s school-choice system is designed to turn thousands of individual preferences and limited school seats into orderly assignments. Yet a new study suggests...
Researchers reveal how chronic stress drives immune dysfunction in cold tumors
A stress-sensing pathway that helps natural killer cells mature and attack cancer may become a liability when activated continuously, according to a study led by...
How Lipid Metabolism Shapes Cancer Progression and Anticancer Immunity
Cancer cells do not merely consume energy; they redesign the body’s lipid economy to support uncontrolled growth and to weaken the immune response. A review...
Machine Learning Reveals Global Health Aid Funding Disparities
Global health aid is often presented as a force directed toward the places with the greatest medical need. Yet the money that supports hospitals, vaccination...
Freeze-Drying Method Reveals Bacterial Ultrastructure in Scanning Electron Microscopy
Scanning electron microscopy has long offered microbiologists an exceptionally detailed view of bacterial surfaces, but the instrument’s vacuum environment creates a fundamental challenge: biological specimens...
