Scientists and citizen volunteers discovered two new snail species in northwestern Montenegro, revealing the region’s hidden biodiversity and strengthening calls to protect Komarnica Canyon within the Durmitor World Heritage Site rather than build a hydropower plant. Two previously unknown snails have been added to Europe’s documented wildlife. Named Cochlostoma komarnica and Cochlostoma dobrido, the species […]
Scientists Discover a 300-Million-Year-Old Geological Time Capsule Inside Fossilized Wood
Researchers used quartz from fossilized wood to trace how Europe developed. A polished piece of fossilized wood may look like little more than a decorative stone, yet the quartz inside it can preserve the history of an entire region for hundreds of millions of years. Geologist Dr. Steffen Trümper of the University of Münster and […]
This Fingertip Patch Tracks Parkinson’s Medication Using Sweat
A battery-free sweat sensor could make levodopa monitoring faster and more personalized for people with Parkinson’s disease. For people with Parkinson’s disease, the effect of a levodopa dose can fade abruptly, allowing movement problems to return before the next scheduled dose. Engineers and neuroscientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a soft […]

Oral Weight Loss Pill Helps Patients Lose up to 12% of Body Weight
An oral GLP-1 drug showed promising weight loss results in a phase II trial. A pill-based approach to GLP-1 treatment helped adults with obesity or overweight lose as much as 12 percent of their body weight over 36 weeks, according to a randomized phase II clinical trial published in Nature Medicine. The study tested aleniglipron, […]
One of the Thinnest Transistor Interfaces Yet Could Reshape Future Chips
A sub-nanometer buffer improved atomically thin transistors, pushing future chips closer to silicon’s limits. A transistor channel only one atom thick sounds like an ideal foundation for the next generation of computer chips. But surrounding that channel with the materials needed to control it can erase much of its advantage. Researchers at National Yang Ming […]
