Scientists have found a protein that might help spot aggressive cancers early. This protein, called SAS-6, helps cells get ready to divide. But it also seems to play a role in how cancer spreads. Researchers from Brunel University of London discovered that high levels of SAS-6 make cells grow more a
Kids' diets might play a role in their eye health. A recent study looked at over 1, 000 children in Hong Kong. It found that kids who ate more omega-3 fatty acids had a lower chance of becoming short-sighted. Omega-3s are found in fish and other foods. The study showed that kids with the highest om

AI tools are getting better at predicting the weather in the short term. But there's a big difference between predicting the weather for the next few days and predicting climate trends for the next few decades. Some people think AI can solve climate change, but it's not that simple. AI can help pro
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recently shared a new plan for how it will spend money and choose research projects. This plan comes after big changes at the agency, like budget cuts and plans to reorganize. The head of the NIH, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, wants to be clear about these changes
The University of Idaho is making a bold move to tackle wildfires with a $1. 4 million boost from the National Science Foundation. This cash injection will fund nine new doctoral researchers, who will dive into the science of fire physics, mitigation, and forest regeneration. The goal? To make rural
Artificial intelligence might soon be able to detect throat cancer just by listening to a person's voice. This is according to a recent study that focused on men with larynx cancer. The larynx, also known as the voice box, is where the vocal cords are located. When cancer affects this area, it can c
The U. S. has long relied on federal funding to fuel university research, a partnership that has driven innovation and economic growth. However, recent cuts and uncertainties under the current administration have left universities scrambling. The abrupt loss of federal grants can halt research, forc
Greywater, the leftover water from showers, sinks, and washing machines, has a big problem: surfactants. These are the soapy stuff that help clean things but can be harmful to the environment. A lot of research has been done on how to remove surfactants from greywater, but there's no clear winner ye
