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.
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.
Finland's Kordelin Foundation is handing early career researchers €45,000 grants to turn their doctoral work into real-world impact. The program supports fresh PhDs exploring everything from groundbreaking research to startup ventures.
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.
When two earthquakes devastated Venezuela, Carnegie Mellon researchers rushed life-saving snake robots to search collapsed buildings for survivors. The innovative technology squeezed into tight spaces where humans and dogs couldn't reach, giving rescue teams new hope.
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.
