Jim and Wendy Abrams, along with their Eleven Eleven Foundation, have donated a massive $25 million to Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. The goal? To set up a new center dedicated to studying Alzheimer's disease using cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI). This giant medical
Imagine if a tiny amount of powder could do the job of a large tree in capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have created just that—a fluffy yellow powder named COF-999. This powder, designed with microscopic pores, can trap CO2 and releas
Did you know that a single image can reveal secrets about diseases like Alzheimer's and ALS? That's exactly what happened at Nikon's 2024 photomicrography contest. The winner was an image of brain tumor cells from a mouse, snapped by Bruno Cisterna and Eric Vitriol from Augusta University in Georgia
Imagine a magnetic field so strong, it puts Earth's to shame by over 800, 000 times! In China, scientists just pulled off this incredible feat. At the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei, they created a resistive magnet that hit a whopping 42. 02 tesla. Compare that to Earth's cozy
Imagine transferring a two-hour 4K movie in just 0. 12 seconds! That's what UK researchers from University College London (UCL) have pulled off. They combined electronic and photonic technologies to reach a crazy-fast data speed of 1 terabit per second (Tbps) in lab tests. This new wireless tech use

You might think our love for carbs like bread, pasta, and rice is a modern thing. But get this – humans may have been chowing down on starchy foods way longer than we thought. Scientists found a gene that helps us digest carbs more easily. And guess what? This gene seems to have duplicated itself a
Ever wondered how rats sniff out food so quickly? Scientists have discovered something astonishing. These little critters might be using sounds we can't even hear to enhance their sense of smell. It's like they're tuning their noses with tiny, invisible whistles! Researcher Eduardo Mercado III and
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is a crucial part of the US Air Force. With over 11,500 staff and a budget of around $7 billion, it's like the brain behind the Air Force and Space Force. They work on all sorts of things, from keeping Airmen healthy to creating super-fast planes and lasers t
