A new study in Nature Communications is sharpening the spotlight on a trio of connected outcomes—loneliness, social isolation, and health—using data designed to separate how...

Science, technological innovation, and farmer ingenuity could, in principle, reshape food systems faster than ever. Yet real-world change often stalls because powerful technological pathways become...

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2025, recognizing advances in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), has thrust reticular materials into the global spotlight. MOFs—crystalline solids assembled from...

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) develops after repeated head impacts and traumatic brain injuries, most often reported in contact-sport athletes and military personnel. For years, the...

A new microscopy approach is turning phase imaging into a more practical, “background-free” task by merging adaptive optics with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) holography. In...

A new independent analysis in the Journal of the American Heart Association links state-level socioeconomic conditions with long-term outcomes for adults living with congenital heart...

A new review is shaking up how peptide drugs should be judged for quality, arguing that the science of manufacturing is inseparable from the science...

A new effort launched across 12 countries aims to preserve knowledge about “heritage” diets—traditional eating patterns shaped by local ecology and food preparation. The initiative,...

Biodiversity doesn’t boost ecosystem productivity in the same way everywhere when climate extremes hit. A new global synthesis draws on 75 long-term biodiversity experiments and...

Crystal symmetry may determine whether hydrogen inside vanadium behaves like a classical particle or a quantum wave, according to a new study published in Nature...

A new “optical singularity protractor” could help laboratories measure rotation with unprecedented sensitivity, using a neuromorphic sensing approach rather than conventional mechanical or purely geometric...

A new study is putting long-term care nutrition under the microscope—using both computer simulation and structured evaluation to test whether real-world menus can reliably satisfy...

Solid-state carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are moving toward mainstream use in electroluminescent light-emitting diodes (LEDs), thanks to their photostability, low toxicity, and emission that can...

Annual Reviews, the nonprofit organization focused on synthesizing knowledge for the progress of science, has announced the acquisition of Underline Science, a platform company that...

A new study is sharpening the map of how the immune system behaves inside melanoma tumors after immunotherapy. Published online in Genes & Immun on...
