Radiography is a field where people often wonder if their personality fits the work. A recent study looked at this by using the Myers‑Briggs Type Indicator, a popular tool that groups people into 16 personality types. The researchers first found which of these types were most common among radiograph
In pig farms, manure piles are a big source of antibiotic‑resistance genes, or ARGs. Scientists wanted to see how treating this waste with anaerobic digestion (AD) changes those genes and the viruses that live there. AD is a common way to break down waste without oxygen, producing useful gas. The s
Insulin is usually linked to blood sugar, but new research shows it also talks to brain cells. When the brain stops responding properly to insulin, many nervous system problems can appear. This idea shifts the focus from just weight and diabetes to a wider range of brain diseases. Scientists have f
A new study tackled the problem of bacteria that ignore most antibiotics. Scientists focused on an enzyme called GES‑5, which breaks down powerful drugs known as carbapenems. To find blockers for this enzyme, they scanned more than seven thousand plant‑based molecules from two separate collect
The safety of medicines can be hurt by light and heat, so scientists must test how drugs stand up to these forces. Traditional tools like HPLC, DSC and GC‑MS take time, need extra steps, and often look at light damage and heat damage separately. A new approach called microwave plasma torch mass spec
The study looks at why young people in China become obsessed with pop idols. It follows a group of teenagers and adults as they start to admire singers, actors or dancers. Researchers noticed that the first step is curiosity. Seeing a new music video or a viral dance clip sparks interest, a
Machine learning has changed how we predict weather and decode proteins, but scientists who study the ocean still face a problem: most models act like black boxes that give answers without explaining why. A new idea tackles this issue by using a technique called symbolic regression, which searche
The world’s most common weed killer has become a flashpoint for disagreement among scientists, lawmakers and the public. The chemical, known in stores as Roundup, works by blocking a plant’s ability to make amino acids. Farmers use it on crops that have been engineered to resist its effects, a
Scientists are trying new ways to fix big bone gaps, like those that can happen in the jaw. One idea is to put a special scaffold with living cells into the empty spot. The scaffold holds the cells and helps them grow. A new material called GelMA‑RF is made from gelatin. It can harden when exposed
The new study shows that four‑dimensional dynamic MRI can map the shape of the upper airway while a person moves. Researchers used an AI system that automatically draws the airway walls on each frame, saving time and reducing human error. The technology captures how the airway changes during breathi
