Stanford researchers created the first global map of rare earthquakes that happen deep in Earth's mantle, not just the crust. The breakthrough could unlock secrets about how all earthquakes begin.
Researchers discovered the seismic signature that reveals where underground barriers stop earthquakes from becoming catastrophic megaquakes. This breakthrough could help predict which fault lines will produce minor tremors versus devastating disasters.
Researchers have discovered how underwater barriers stop earthquakes from spreading, potentially revolutionizing how we predict seismic activity. The breakthrough could help protect millions living near major fault lines.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Scientists just cracked the code on predicting massive earthquakes along the Pacific Coast by studying mud on the ocean floor. Their breakthrough could give communities a clearer timeline for preparing for the next big one.
New research reveals why Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza has withstood powerful earthquakes for over 4,600 years. Ancient engineers built hidden features that protect the structure from vibrations, proving their extraordinary knowledge.
Scientists using underwater robots have cracked the code on reading ancient earthquake records hidden in deep ocean mud. Their breakthrough could help predict when the next massive quake will strike the Pacific Northwest.
Researchers discovered a brilliant way to track falling space debris using existing earthquake monitoring networks. The breakthrough could protect people and planes from dangerous space junk plummeting to Earth.
Librarians are breaking free from the "service provider" stereotype to become valued research partners and co-authors on scientific studies. One librarian's expertise in consumer health and digital literacy earned them spots on multiple research teams.
Scientists just discovered how the Great Pyramid has survived earthquakes for over 4,600 years, and it's not what the world thought. Ancient Egyptians were engineering geniuses who understood earthquake physics millennia before modern science.
Scientists at Stanford, MIT, and Cambridge are using Google DeepMind's Co-Scientist AI to accelerate breakthroughs in liver disease, aging, and infectious diseases. The system helps researchers digest decades of studies in days, spotting connections humans might miss.
A coalition of major scientific organizations just unveiled a new "Trust Seal" to help readers spot reliable research in an age of AI-driven information. The community-led initiative aims to rebuild confidence in science by recognizing publications that follow the highest standards.
A high school junior just became a published medical researcher, analyzing surgical techniques that could help liver cancer patients live longer. His work passed the same peer review process as professional scientists.
