A new smart ring could reveal far more than how well someone slept or how fast their heart is beating. Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed an experimental smart ring that continuously analyzes sweat from the finger to monitor several molecules associated with metabolism, nutrition, exercise, and alcohol consumption. The prototype […]

Did T. rex Leave These Mysterious Marks on Dinosaur Bones?
New research helps scientists determine whether marks on fossils are genuine bite marks. Deep grooves and punctures scar a small collection of dinosaur bones unearthed in Wyoming. They resemble the aftermath of a powerful predator’s bite—but fossil damage can be deceptive. Disease, erosion, insects, and exposure after death can all leave impressions that mimic tooth […]
Harvard Researchers Turn Ordinary Knitting Into Programmable Technology
Researchers developed knitted textiles that can function as switches and count steps. A piece of knitted fabric can now do more than stretch and fold. By carefully controlling its yarns and stitch patterns, researchers have made textiles that snap between stable shapes, operate electrical switches, and even track a person’s steps. Researchers at the Harvard […]

Chemists Defy Decades-Old Rules With “Free Electron” Breakthrough
Free electrons offer chemists a new way to control reactions that conventional electron transfer rules would normally prevent. Inside a reaction flask, an electron can determine which molecules combine and which remain unchanged. Chemists rely on this control to build complex compounds used in lifesaving drugs, advanced materials, and laboratory models of biological systems. One […]
Shape-Shifting Drug Supercharges Cancer Treatment in Mice
A shape-changing drug attacks tumors in several ways and improves outcomes in mice. A tumor is rarely made up of identical cells. As cancer progresses or adapts to treatment, different cells may display different molecular targets, allowing some to escape drugs designed to recognize only one. That diversity poses a challenge for antibody-drug conjugates, precision […]
