Leanne Fan, an 18‑year‑old senior from Westview High School in San Diego, has turned her bedroom into a mini laboratory. She built a low‑cost device that spins samples to mimic the weightlessness astronauts feel in orbit, allowing her to study how living cells respond when gravity is absent. Inst
Loughborough University has signed a new three‑year deal with Science in Sport (SiS), the world’s top brand for sports nutrition. The agreement keeps SiS as the official food partner for many of Loughborough’s elite teams and opens doors for fresh research projects. SiS is known for creating the
"The journal has reached its eleventh year and is witnessing a surge in readership. It aims to stand out among open‑access publications by combining rigorous research standards with a welcoming approach for authors worldwide. Speed of publication remains a priority, so the community can quickly acce
The world of neural biomaterials has seen big changes over the past 25 years. New tools and methods have popped up to tackle issues in the spinal cord and nerves. This journey mirrors the work of a key researcher in the field. The last few decades have brought some major breakthroughs. These advanc
Colon cancer is a serious health issue. It does not discriminate. It can happen to anyone. But what if we could predict who is more likely to get it? Scientists are exploring this idea. They are looking at both genes and daily habits. This combination might help identify risk factors more accurately
AI is making big waves in science. It's not just a tool for the future; it's helping solve real problems right now. For example, AI is being used to spot diseases like tuberculosis and diabetic retinopathy. It's also helping farmers grow better crops and predict floods. One big success story is Alp
Scientists have created new compounds that might help reduce inflammation and protect the brain. They started with a natural substance called Genipin and modified it to make it more effective. These new compounds, especially one called 6a, showed great promise in lab tests. The researchers tested t
In big cities, emergency rooms often see patients who don't have urgent needs. This raises questions about how often people should visit their regular doctors. Researchers wanted to find out if seeing a primary care doctor more often could reduce these non-urgent trips to the emergency room. They al
Nursing research is often praised but not always prioritized in hospitals and healthcare settings. This is a problem because it means that nursing knowledge is not always growing and improving as it should. When hospitals focus too much on getting things done quickly, they might not spend enough tim
Deep in Texas, there's a treasure trove of cotton types. Over 2, 500 of them sit in storage. Most need short days to grow. But some don't care about the daylight. These are the day-neutral landraces. Scientists found 186 of these unique types. They've been growing them for years to keep them diverse
