Symbiodinium microadriaticum, a tiny dinoflagellate that lives inside coral tissues, can release electrons into its surroundings during photosynthesis. This process, known as extracellular electron transfer (EET), lets the algae send electrical signals to nearby cells. Researchers discovered that th
Researchers have built a computer model that shows how light, heat and chemical reactions work together when treating cancer with a dye called indocyanine green (ICG). The model uses a fast Monte‑Carlo method on graphics cards to trace how 808‑nanometer laser light moves through a three‑dimension
The latest message from Pope Leo XIV urges a pause on the unchecked rise of artificial intelligence. He argues that AI must be “disarmed” to safeguard people from its possible threats, joining a growing conversation about how much power governments should hold over this fast‑moving field. During hi

Every May, Kutztown High School turns into a mini farm show when students roll their tractors onto campus for Tractor Day. The event isn’t just about tractors—it’s a celebration of local farming culture, student achievement, and the school’s strong agriculture program. Most participants come from fa
Your gut isn't just about food. It’s a living ecosystem full of bacteria, and those tiny organisms react to way more than just what’s on your plate. A recent deep dive into research shows that diet is just one piece of a much bigger puzzle. Habits like sleep and exercise play a role, the environment
Around the world, back pain is one of the top reasons people skip work or miss daily activities. Yet when adults from Pakistan move to new countries or stay at home, their choices about treating low back pain don’t follow a single rule. Researchers asked 461 adults with ongoing back pain about what
A quiet corner of finance called private credit just hit its roughest patch in years. This $2 trillion market grew fast after 2008 by lending to tech startups, healthcare chains, and factories without strict rules. Low interest rates made risky loans look safe—until they weren’t. Now rates are near
Long before computers existed, people tried to explain the human brain by comparing it to everyday objects. First came clocks, then steam engines, and later, machines. This way of thinking stuck around even as technology advanced. Now, some in the tech world have started calling humans “meat compute
