Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
Europe's oldest science park is set to triple in size, creating 20,000 new jobs while opening its doors wider to the public. The £3 billion project promises to transform Cambridge's innovation hub into a space where cutting-edge research meets community access.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
A new AI system from China's Zhejiang University just claimed the top spot on an international test for autonomous scientific research, beating out major competitors. The breakthrough shows how AI is getting better at thinking through complex research problems independently.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Billions in private donations are accelerating life-saving medical discoveries that might otherwise take decades or never happen. From cancer treatments to brain disease research, philanthropic funding is helping researchers pursue bold ideas with the flexibility government grants can't provide.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
Two Cambridge researchers pointed a camera at their office coffee pot in 1991 because they were tired of walking downstairs to find it empty. They accidentally invented the webcam.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
A failed experiment at Cambridge led to a breakthrough that could transform how medicines are made. Scientists discovered a light-powered method to modify drug molecules faster, cleaner, and without toxic chemicals.
Scientists at the University of Cambridge successfully tested the world's first vaccine with an antigen designed entirely by artificial intelligence. The breakthrough could protect people from future pandemics before they even start.
A failed experiment at Cambridge led to a breakthrough that could make life-saving medicines faster and cleaner to develop. The discovery uses simple LED light instead of toxic chemicals to modify complex drug molecules.
