A study funded by the SNSF highlights previously unknown links between the body and the brain. The findings of this research carried out at the University of Fribourg show how our bodily rhythms affect our visual perception.
University of Florida researchers have led a multicenter study demonstrating that Automated Imaging Differentiation for Parkinsonism (AIDP), a machine-learning method using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), accurately distinguishes Parkinson’s disease (PD) from atypical parkinsonian disorders. Findings suggest this approach could significantly improve diagnostic precision and clinical care.
Scientists have demonstrated how to manipulate light by using time-varying media in the form of specialized nanomaterials.
An NIAID-sponsored clinical trial of an experimental vaccine to prevent Lassa fever has begun.

EPFL researchers have developed a robot that can drive, roll, and even paddle through water to reach its destination.
Environmental conditions can cause damaging stress to plants, posing challenges for home gardeners and farmers. Therefore, early detection—before leaves visibly discolor, wilt or wither—is crucial.
In the realm of science fiction, Dyson spheres and ringworlds have been staples for decades. But it is well known that the simplest designs are unstable against gravitational forces and would thus be torn apart. Now a scientist from Scotland, UK has shown that certain configurations of these objects near a two-mass system can be stable against such fractures. The work is published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Research into immunotherapy against cancer typically focuses on better recognition of cancer cells by the body’s own immune system. Researchers at Amsterdam UMC and Moffitt Cancer Center have taken a different approach.
