Long-term genetic tracking of patients with chronic blood cancers is revealing hidden patterns in how these diseases develop and progress. Following patients over time has revealed key genetic differences between blood cancers that remain stable and those that become more aggressive. The findings also show how DNA data could sharpen diagnoses, improve how patients are […]
Scientists Discover a Surprising Reason Intermittent Fasting Extends Life
How the body efficiently shifts metabolism after fasting may be key to improving health, UTSW-led research suggests. Cutting calorie intake has long been linked to longer life, and intermittent fasting often appears to work better than maintaining a constant diet. Even so, scientists have struggled to explain exactly why this happens. New research from UT […]
Scientists Discover a New Meteor Shower From a Mysterious Crumbling Asteroid
A meteor cluster reveals an asteroid disintegrating near the Sun. These observations help uncover hidden asteroids and explain how space objects break apart. Scientists use global camera networks to study meteors, revealing how dust and debris from comets and asteroids behave and evolve in the solar system. A 2026 study identified a new meteor cluster […]

These Tiny Robots 50x Smaller Than a Hair Can Hunt and Move Bacteria
Photon-driven nanorobots can steer, capture, and move bacteria with precision, enabling controlled manipulation in microscopic environments and offering new tools for microbiology. Tiny robots about 50 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair are opening new possibilities for working at very small scales. They allow scientists to precisely manipulate objects far beyond the […]
Simple Blood Test May Predict Alzheimer’s Years Before Brain Scans Show Signs
Mass General Brigham researchers used long-term data and a blood test for the biomarker pTau217 to identify the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s disease in cognitively healthy adults. A team of investigators at Mass General Brigham reports that a blood test measuring plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (pTau217), a biomarker linked to Alzheimer’s disease, can forecast changes […]
