Scripps method builds branched drug molecules 4x faster
Scripps Research scientists published a new method in Science that uses cheaper manganese and a mild acid to steer a dual-catalyst reaction toward branched molecular structures, making the early stage
Smart contact lens monitors eye pressure, delivers drug without electronics
Researchers at the Terasaki Institute have developed a battery-free, electronics-free smart contact lens that continuously monitors eye pressure and automatically releases glaucoma medication, aiming
RIKEN: pulse width significantly alters atom scattering
A RIKEN-led theoretical analysis shows that varying the pulse width of electron wave packets significantly changes how strongly they scatter off an atom, giving researchers a new knob to control high-
KIT controls nuclear spins optically for quantum tech
Researchers at the **Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)** have achieved a breakthrough in quantum physics by optically controlling nuclear spin states in a molecular material, demonstrating their
Genes linked to appetite affect weight-loss drug
A study of 15,000 people using weight-loss jabs like Wegovy and Mounjaro found that genetic variants linked to appetite and digestion help explain why some users shed far more weight — and suffer wors
23andMe Links Two Genes to GLP-1 Response
23andMe researchers identified specific genetic variants in two genes that appear to predict both weight loss outcomes and the likelihood of nausea or vomiting from GLP-1 obesity drugs, according to a
Yale Study: Positional Identity Drift Drives Aging
Yale researchers studying flatworms found that reproductive aging is driven by drift in the body's positional identity map — ovaries ending up in the wrong places as cellular organization breaks down
Traffic Heat Raises Manchester Winter Temps 0.35°C, Study Finds
University of Manchester scientists built a new climate model module showing that heat from vehicle engines, exhausts, and braking raises urban air temperatures by up to 0.35°C in Manchester winters a

AI Scribes Raise Healthcare Costs, Insiders Privately Concede
AI scribes are quietly driving up healthcare costs through increased coding intensity—a reality both health systems and insurers publicly dispute but privately acknowledge, according to a Peterson Hea
Artemis II crew makes first moon-to-ISS radio call
Artemis II astronauts made the first-ever radio call between a moonship and the International Space Station, chatting with the orbiting lab's crew 230,000 miles away as they head home from their lunar
Heat shock alters fly gene regulation for 3 generations
Climate change may accelerate evolution by triggering inherited changes in gene regulation, a new study in fruit flies suggests, with effects lasting three generations and altering development time.
