A new brain scan could help detect early signs of Alzheimer’s by spotting a protein linked to memory loss. It works well in Hispanic and White adults who also have amyloid buildup, but not in Black adults, highlighting the need for more diverse studies. New Brain Imaging Benchmark for Alzheimer’s Risk Researchers at the Keck […]

Johns Hopkins Researchers Uncover a New Way To Kill Cancer Cells
A new study reveals that blocking ribosomal RNA production rewires cancer cell behavior and could help treat genetically unstable tumors. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and the Department of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences have identified a tumor-suppressive response that could lead to new treatments for cancers that are difficult to […]
47 Million Years Old: Oldest True Cicada Unearthed in Europe
Eoplatypleura messelensis is the oldest known true cicada ever identified in Europe. For the first time, a fossilized true cicada has been identified from the Messel Pit deposits. Eoplatypleura messelensis is among the oldest known representatives of modern true cicadas in Eurasia and marks the earliest record of the subfamily Cicadinae worldwide. This discovery, made […]

Shells Tell an Epic 500-Million-Year Tale of Ocean Survival
Across 540 million years, fossil shell records show marine biomass rising hand-in-hand with biodiversity, dipping only during the planet’s great extinctions. Stanford scientists stitched together 7,700 limestone samples to reveal that more diverse seas recycle nutrients better and build bigger food webs—an ancient trend now threatened by human-driven species loss. Half-Billion-Year Ocean Life Trends In […]
Researchers Build 11-Mile-Long Quantum Highway Using Photons
The Rochester Quantum Network transmits information by sending single photons through two fiber-optic telecommunications lines. Researchers at the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology have recently linked their campuses using an experimental quantum communications network built with two optical fibers. In a new paper published in Optica Quantum, the team introduces the Rochester […]
