New York University just launched a quantum research institute that's breaking down the walls between scientists, engineers, and real-world companies. The goal: turn quantum science from theory into technology that actually works.
Asian American women face higher rates of liver cancer and heart disease, yet receive almost no research funding and are left out of most health studies. Now, a public health expert is leading the charge to rewrite the rules.
NYU Langone Health just secured nearly $70 million from the National Institutes of Health to turn cutting-edge research into real treatments faster. Over the next seven years, this funding will help scientists move discoveries from the lab to patients who need them.
NYU Langone Health just secured nearly $70 million over seven years to help scientists turn lab discoveries into real treatments for patients faster. It's the highest level of funding available nationally for this type of research.
NYU is solving diseases faster by throwing out the old playbook: instead of keeping scientists in separate buildings, they're mixing engineers, doctors, and AI experts into teams focused on beating specific diseases. Early wins include a startup detecting airborne pathogens and "inverse vaccines" that could cure celiac disease and allergies.
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.
Researchers developed tiny particles that use light to heat and destroy tumors while leaving healthy cells untouched. The biodegradable treatment could offer a gentler alternative to chemotherapy and radiation.
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 have discovered how everyday discrimination leaves a biological mark on the immune system, offering new hope for understanding and preventing stress-related health problems. The research opens doors for targeted interventions that could help millions experiencing chronic social stress.
Researchers discovered how to cool data centers using waste heat from factories and a common mineral, slashing electricity use by up to 86 percent. The breakthrough could help the booming AI industry grow without overwhelming America's power grid.
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 at NYU College of Dentistry discovered a treatment that could help oral cancer patients manage severe pain without building up dangerous tolerance to opioids. The breakthrough uses existing FDA-approved drugs already on the market.
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.
