Scientists tested a new molecule called WK-13-3D on one of the toughest breast cancers to treat. Instead of trying to poison the cancer cells directly, it tricks them into breaking their own cleanup system. Every cell normally recycles old parts through a process called autophagy. In triple-negative
Last year, a team of students at a New Jersey college rebuilt a 1994 crime scene in 3D. The project uncovered flaws that freed two men after 37 years behind bars. They proved how modern tech can correct old errors. Yet every breakthrough comes with risks. Unchecked tools, like face-matching software
Kutztown University's Rock Ensemble I just earned top honors in a major music contest—the 2026 DownBeat Student Music Awards, beating out college groups across the country in the Blues/Pop/Rock category. This isn’t a one-time win though. Over the past decade, KU’s commercial music program has claime
Smart computer programs that write human-like text are now everywhere. These programs learn from billions of sentences found online, so they should reflect how people really speak. But when researchers tested four advanced versions, they found the programs kept making the same mistakes over and over
Research shows that how big a baby is at birth—especially weight and head size—can hint at how well they’ll do in school later. Scientists wanted to know if these clues actually mean anything, or if they’re just random. By studying twins, they could compare siblings who share the same genes and ofte
A hidden gem in Franklin County just opened its doors to the public. Bald Knob Natural Area Preserve now welcomes visitors to explore a one-of-a-kind landscape filled with exposed rocks and a special flower found nowhere else in the world. The rocky terrain isn’t just for looks—it’s a rare habitat t
A biotech team recently announced they hatched live chicks using a 3D-printed shell instead of a natural one. The experiment used fertilized eggs placed into this artificial structure, which was designed to control oxygen flow like a real eggshell. While this sounds impressive, critics argue it’s ju
On June 20, the Polo Historical Museum at 113 N. Franklin Ave. opens its doors for a special afternoon dedicated to Roy Rogers, the singing cowboy who shaped Western entertainment for decades. Instead of just another small-town exhibit, this event mixes history with hands-on stories, letting visitor
The brain sends out tiny electrical signals that travel through different body parts before reaching the skin’s surface. These signals don’t move in a straight line—they get mixed up, slowed down, or even hidden by muscles, fat, and other tissues. That’s why tools like EEG headsets or EMG armbands d
OLED screens now last far longer than they used to. Early panels barely made it past 4 years of non-stop use. Today’s OLED phones are built for around 11 years if you never turn the screen off. That sounds impressive, but real-world use is never non-stop. Your phone spends time in your pocket, in be
