Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been tasked with cutting waste in government, including scientific research. Some studies, like those involving shrimp on treadmills or bobcat pee on rats, may seem pointless. But these experiments play a vital role in understanding the world around us. Science thr
Nanozymes, tiny materials that mimic enzymes, are becoming big news in science. They combine the best of both worlds: the unique properties of nanomaterials and the helpful functions of enzymes. This is the first time someone has used a special method called bibliometrics to study all the research d
Did you know that when hospitals grow their certified stroke centers, patients might get faster and better treatment? But here’s the thing: it's not clear how much this growth actually helps patients who already have good access to stroke care. Some experts believe it might not make much difference

Early detection of people at high risk for type 2 diabetes is super important. This study looked into a new way to do this using specific biomarkers for different groups. They wanted to see how well this new method could predict who might get diabetes. Scientists know that diabetes is not one-size-
Laura Helmuth, the chief editor of Scientific American, found herself in hot water after posting some not-so-classy comments about Donald Trump and his supporters on Election Night. She later apologized, but some serious soul-searching is still needed, not just for her, but for the entire scientific
Laura Helmuth, the top editor at Scientific American, found herself in hot water after some heated posts on election night. Taken aback by the election results, she let loose on social media, targeting Trump supporters with some strong language. Her posts didn't go unnoticed, sparking a wave of crit
Spotify, the music-streaming giant, achieved a significant milestone. Its stock closed above $400 for the first time ever on November 8th.

Scientific journals that focus on national topics have been examined using a unique method. This study looks at data from Scimago Journal Rank, which is based on Scopus. The researchers have come up with a new way to define how nationally focused a journal is. This is based on where the authors are
Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is revolutionizing the way scientists look at tissue structure. One key step in ST data analysis is identifying spatial domains—areas within tissue that have unique characteristics. Researchers have created a new method called GRAS4T to tackle this challenge. GRAS4T uses
