The brain’s activity immediately before stimulation may help predict its response and improve the consistency of neuromodulation. The same brain stimulation can produce very different responses depending on when it is delivered. A study published in Brain Stimulation, using detailed brain recordings hosted by EBRAINS, suggests that the brain’s activity immediately before stimulation can explain […]
New “Invisible” Cell Therapy Could Provide Side-Effect-Free Diabetes Treatment
Testing in diabetic mice lowered blood sugar levels for more than 100 days. Transplanted cells can help treat disease, but the immune system often sees them as intruders and attacks them. Penn State researchers are testing a way around that problem by wrapping therapeutic cells in an ultrathin protective coating that acts like an “invisibility […]
Researchers Solve Two Major Problems Holding Back SiC Electronics
A new bottom gate design takes advantage of the intrinsic properties of SiC. For more than 20 years, silicon carbide – SiC – has been viewed as a promising material for electronics that must function in extreme environments. Yet despite years of research, that promise has rarely translated into practical devices. Researchers at Kyoto University […]

Physicists Hunted a Mysterious Particle – and Found Two Unexpected Structures Instead
A first attempt to produce a mysterious strangeonium state using a photon beam yielded important and unexpected results. Physicists have spent decades trying to organize the growing collection of subatomic particles, yet some of the most unusual discoveries still resist simple classification. At the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, researchers have […]
World’s Largest Trial of Robotic Knee Surgery Delivers a Surprising Result
Robot-assisted knee replacement surgery is more precise than surgery performed without robotic assistance, but it does not currently improve patient outcomes. A robotic arm can help surgeons position a knee replacement more precisely, but that extra accuracy does not necessarily mean patients recover better. Results from RACER-Knee, the world’s largest clinical trial of its kind, […]

Scientists Develop an Implant That Could Help the Body Clock Recover From Jet Lag Faster
A peer-reviewed study highlights how encapsulated leptin-producing cells can accelerate circadian realignment in preclinical models. Jet lag and shift work can throw the body’s internal clock off course for days, disturbing sleep, altering metabolism, and contributing to other health effects. Researchers at Rice University, supported by the Rice Biotech Launch Pad, and Northwestern University have […]
