A privacy-first AI can diagnose a life-shortening hormone disorder—just from a photo of your hand. Researchers at Kobe University have developed an artificial intelligence system that can identify a rare endocrine disorder by examining photos of the back of a person’s hand and their clenched fist. By avoiding facial images, the approach was designed with […]

Deep inside a dust-choked galaxy, astronomers have uncovered a chemical environment far more complex than expected. The James Webb Space Telescope detected abundant small organic molecules in a heavily obscured galaxy nucleus, far exceeding theoretical expectations. Evidence points to cosmic rays fragmenting carbon-rich materials and driving intense chemical activity. Such nuclei may act as cosmic […]

Three papers in JCAP report the final data release from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, unveiling a new map of the early “infant” Universe, confirming the “Hubble tension,” and ruling out several extended cosmological models. There is often a sense of mixed emotions when a long scientific project concludes. For the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), that […]

Tiny crystal “seeds” could solve a hidden flaw in perovskite solar cells—unlocking high efficiency at larger scales. Traditional perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are built with the electron transport layer underneath the perovskite light-absorbing layer and the hole transport layer on top. While this design has delivered strong performance in laboratories, it faces challenges when scaled […]

A new study from researchers highlights an unexpected player in Alzheimer’s disease: aging astrocytes. Senescent astrocytes have been identified as a major contributor to Alzheimer’s progression. The cells lose protective functions and fuel inflammation, particularly in APOE4 carriers. The findings highlight senolytic drugs as a potential new therapy. For the first time, the research team […]

Long-term calorie restriction may help preserve brain cell function and slow molecular signs of aging. As we grow older, brain cells gradually lose efficiency. Cells in the central nervous system begin to show metabolic problems and accumulate oxidative damage, which interferes with their normal function. One important consequence is difficulty maintaining the myelin sheath (the […]

Research on nearly 1.2 million infants shows vegan and vegetarian diets can support normal growth in the first two years of life. As more families adopt plant-based eating habits, many parents and pediatricians have wondered whether avoiding animal products might affect a baby’s rapid physical development. A major study led by researchers at Ben Gurion […]
