Sound Waves Used to Create Protective Crystal Coatings on Crops

by

Researchers at RMIT University have developed an acoustomicrofluidic coating process that uses high-frequency sound waves to apply protective crystalline layers to fragile surfaces, including living plant leaves. By transforming liquid droplets into a fine mist, the method avoids the heat and harsh chemicals typically required for covalent organic framework (COF) applications, enabling safer manufacturing for … Read more

New Wearable Microneedle Patch Monitors Drug Levels in Real Time

by

Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a wearable microneedle patch capable of continuously measuring drug concentrations in interstitial fluid and transmitting that data to a smartphone in real time. The device, which weighs 6.7 grams, aims to explore whether continuous monitoring could provide a more complete picture than periodic … Read more

First Diagnostic X-Rays Performed in Space Expand Astronaut Medical Care

by

A crew of non-medical professionals successfully captured the first diagnostic X-rays in orbit during the Fram2 spaceflight mission in 2025. Published in the journal Radiology by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the study confirms that off-the-shelf, portable radiography equipment can operate effectively in microgravity, providing a viable alternative to the ultrasound technology that … Read more

Newborn Breathing Risks: Why the First 24 Hours Are Critical

by

Sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC) affects approximately 31 per 100,000 live births, according to a retrospective cohort study published in Acta Paediatrica. Researchers analyzing 483,000 births in Stockholm between 2002 and 2022 found that the condition—defined as the sudden breathing cessation of an apparently healthy newborn—most frequently occurs within the first 24 hours of life, … Read more

Directed Enzyme Evolution: Methods and Applications

by

Directed evolution, a method for engineering enzymes by mimicking the natural process of selection, is shifting from a niche lab technique to a primary engine for industrial chemistry. According to Caltech’s Frances Arnold, who received the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this work, the future of the field lies in integrating machine learning with … Read more

New Ultrasensitive Biosensor Detects Early-Stage Liver Fibrosis via Blood Test

by

Researchers at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), in collaboration with the Catholic University of Korea and Eunpyeong St. Mary’s Hospital, have developed an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor capable of detecting early-stage liver fibrosis through a small blood sample. The device, known as FIB-EIS, identifies the protein PICP to signal liver hardening, potentially replacing invasive tissue biopsies with a … Read more

Why Face Recognition Declines With Age: The Role of Eye Movement

by

Age-related declines in face recognition are associated with a reduction in eye-movement consistency, according to a study published in npj Science of Learning. Researchers found that while older adults retain the visual scanning routines developed earlier in life, their ability to execute these patterns consistently diminishes. This loss of predictability, linked to declines in selective … Read more

How Sleep Affects Eating Habits & Metabolic Health

by

Evening chronotypes, or “night owls,” face higher risks of obesity and metabolic dysfunction due to a tendency to consume high-calorie, high-fat foods late at night, according to research from Griffith University. Professor Rozanne Kruger found that meal timing, rather than total caloric intake, correlates with increased body fat and poorer glucose regulation in women. How … Read more

New Therapy Harnesses Cells’ Waste Removal to Target Multiple Myeloma

by

Researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed an experimental molecule called an autophagy-targeting chimera (AUTAC) that dismantles the MCL1 survival protein to kill multiple myeloma cells. According to a study published in Cell Death & Disease, this targeted protein degrader works with existing proteasome inhibitors to reduce cancer cell viability by 50% within … Read more

New Prolactinoma Management Guidelines: Updated Clinical Consensus

by

A multidisciplinary panel of 60 specialists has released the 2025 edition of the Chinese consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of prolactinomas, published in the Chinese Neurosurgical Journal on June 8, 2026. This evidence-based framework standardizes care across endocrinology, neurosurgery, and radiology to improve early detection and patient outcomes for the most common hormone-secreting pituitary … Read more
