You might think bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are hard to tell apart because they share similar symptoms. This can lead to mix-ups by doctors, called misdiagnosis. But what if we could use brain scans and smart computers to figure it out? That's what researchers tried in
Ever thought about how to control and release scents at exactly the right moment? Scientists have been exploring ways to manage fragrances, especially in fields like psychology and entertainment. They've made an exciting discovery using a material called bulk poly(dimethylsiloxane), or PDMS, to stor
As we get older, our brains shrink, and our thinking skills deteriorate. Scientists have found a new way to study this process using brain age prediction. This study introduces a special deep learning model that can guess someone's age from brain scans. Researchers used data from almost 17, 000 heal
Imagine a basketball game where the pace is quick, the court is shorter, and the shot clock ticks faster. That's what happened in Miami during the launch of Unrivaled, a new 3-on-3 women's league. Skylar Diggins-Smith hit a crucial three-pointer, giving her team, the Lunar Owls, an 84-80 win over th
After a long and tense conflict, Israel's government has finally given the green light to a ceasefire and hostage release deal with Hamas. This deal is set to start on Sunday morning, bringing a much-needed break to the 15-month battle. The agreement was approved by Israel's cabinet late on Friday n
Optical molecular imaging in clinical settings often faces a challenge: balancing patient safety with image quality. High frame rates and low excitation doses can lead to noisy images, making it crucial to find effective denoising methods. Most current deep learning techniques fall short because the
Have you ever wondered how we can recycle old batteries in an eco-friendly way? Scientists have found an interesting solution using ocean bacteria called Pseudomonas sp. These tiny creatures produce special molecules called siderophores, which can help extract precious elements from spent Nickel-Met
Hey there! So, the House Speaker, Mike Johnson, has picked a new boss for the House Intelligence Committee. Meet Rep. Rick Crawford, a Republican from Arkansas. He's been on the committee for a while and is now the most senior member after the previous chair, Rep. Mike Turner, got the boot. Johnson
On January 16, 2025, SpaceX's Starship megarocket took to the skies for its seventh test flight. The mission started smoothly, with the Super Heavy booster and Ship upper-stage spacecraft separating as planned. However, things took a turn when the Ship spacecraft encountered issues over the Atlantic
Goldman Sachs has increased the pay of its CEO, David Solomon, by 26% to $39 million. Alongside this, they've set up retention plans worth $80 million for both Solomon and the bank's president, John Waldron. This move aims to keep the duo at the helm, following a strong performance year. The bank ha
