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 […]

Nuclear Reactors Keep Emitting a Hidden Signal Long After They Shut Down
Long after a nuclear reactor goes dark, its radioactive fuel continues to whisper through matter, leaving behind a hidden signal that scientists have detected for the first time. Turning off a nuclear reactor stops the chain reaction, but it does not make the reactor completely quiet. Long after the core goes dark, radioactive fragments left […]
This Ancient Grain Could Help Transform Children’s Gut Health
Iron-rich pearl millet may improve toddler nutrition without disrupting the developing gut microbiome. Each day, hundreds of toddlers in Mumbai’s urban slums ate porridge, soft curry, or freshly baked foods prepared for young children. Some meals contained ordinary pearl millet, an ancient grain widely eaten in India. Others used a specially bred millet with almost […]
