UC Davis researchers have uncovered how changes in the gut microbiome can lead to sorbitol intolerance, revealing a connection between antibiotic use, diet, and digestive health.

The massive federal project Community Research on Climate and Urban Science (Crocus) aims to improve understanding of urban climate change and its impacts in Chicago to form potential solutions to reduce climate vulnerabilities.

Researchers led by Professor Gary Lewin at the Max Delbrück Center have identified a new ion channel, Elkin1, crucial for touch perception, complementing the previously known Piezo2 channel. This discovery, confirmed through experiments on mice and human sensory neurons, opens new avenues for understanding touch and potentially treating chronic pain.

Researchers have come together to investigate the changes in memory and concentration among women across different stages of the menopause – premenopause, perimenopause and postmenopause.

Imagine a world where the debilitating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and Tourette’s syndrome can be significantly alleviated with precision-targeted brain stimulation. Thanks to pioneering research led by teams from Charité – Universitätsmedizin and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, this is not just a hopeful dream but an unfolding reality.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have brought together two Nobel prize-winning research concepts to advance the field of quantum communication. They could efficiently produce nearly perfect entangled photon pairs from quantum dot sources.

Researchers have introduced a project that aims to reduce CO2 emissions through the creation of an AI model that will improve the accuracy of short-range weather forecasting for photovoltaic production.

Stanford materials engineers have 3D printed tens of thousands of hard-to-manufacture nanoparticles long predicted to yield promising new materials that change form in an instant. This innovative approach, highlighted in Nature Communications, may revolutionize everything from solar panels to computer memory.

Researchers have developed a new soft, flexible, battery-free implant that attaches to the bladder wall to sense filling. People suffering from paralysis, spina bifida, bladder cancer or end-stage bladder disease in which bladder function is often compromised, and bladder reconstruction surgery may be required will find the new implant useful.

A study led by the University of Leeds and published in The Lancet E-Bio-Medicine reveals that substituting sugar with artificial or natural sweeteners in foods does not increase hunger. Furthermore, it can help lower blood sugar levels, offering a significant benefit for those at risk of type 2 diabetes.
