Imagine a group of scientists from Taiwan and mainland China working together on a fascinating project. Since 1996, they've been exploring the world of neutrinos and astro-particle physics. Now, they're gearing up for an exciting experiment at Taiwan's Nuclear Power Station II. The plan? Use a 600 k
In the heart of Siberia, scientists took a close look at tiny particles in the air during summer. These tiny particles, called aerosols, can affect weather and climate. The study showed that many aerosols contained a lot of organic carbon, especially in smaller particles. When the air got humid, the
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease where remyelination—the body's attempt to repair damaged nerve fibers—varies greatly among individuals and even within the same person. Scientists in the Netherlands decided to use this natural diversity to find out what makes some people better at remyel
Rheumatoid arthritis is a tough disease that affects many joints and needs lifelong care. Scientists have been working on a new way to fight this condition using tiny particles called Esculin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (ENPs). These magic bullets were made using a process called ion gelation and
The Cleveland Browns just reworked quarterback Deshaun Watson's contract for the third time in three years. This was a strategic move to free up cap space for the team. But why are they sticking with him? Well, they've got a bit of a mess with their quarterback situation, and with star player Myles
On Monday night, a Boston police cruiser and a Tesla collided, causing some serious trouble for commuters on the Green Line's B Branch. The crash happened on Commonwealth Avenue, near Washington Street, and left a police officer with injuries that weren't too severe, according to the Boston Police D
Ever wondered how computers can learn from pictures? One cool way is by using something called a Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN. This type of AI can take a medical image, like a neuroimage, and transform it from one form to another. For example, it can turn a high-quality 3 Tesla image into
Ever thought about what's in your baby's food? One substance you might want to pay attention to is vanillin, an artificial flavoring that can have an impact on your little one's health and eating habits. Scientists have discovered a clever and affordable way to check for vanillin using tiny, intelli
The Cleveland Browns have found themselves in a tricky spot with quarterback Deshaun Watson's contract. To tackle the final two years of his fully-guaranteed deal, they've decided to restructure it. This isn't the first time they've done this, but the latest changes are significant. Under the new t
Imagine trying to pick out a single guitar riff from a busy rock song. That's similar to what scientists are doing with muscle signals, known as surface electromyography (sEMG). They're aiming to spot tiny muscle units, called motor units (MUs), in real time. A recent study took a clever approach us
