Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.
To fill operating rooms and financial incentives, obstetricians are often performing unneeded cesarean sections on Black women, according to researchers who analyzed about 1 million births across 68 New Jersey hospitals.
Rapa Nui (Easter Island) with its gigantic statues and treeless landscape has fascinated researchers for centuries. A new genetic study disproves the popular theory that the Rapanui population collapsed as a result of an 'ecocide' and shows that the Rapanui admixed with Indigenous Americans centuries before Europeans arrived on the island.
We are delighted to announce that a new ‘Essay’ article type is now available at PLOS Climate, PLOS Global Public Health , PLOS Mental Health and PLOS Water. Essays, which are predominantly solicited by our Editors, are compelling, opinion-based pieces, focused on the most urgent and impactful topics facing our journals’ fields. They fulfill a community need for an article type that can, in particular, address concerns related to policy implications of regional or intersectiona
With maps of the connections between neurons and artificial intelligence methods, researchers can now do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without making a single measurement in a living brain.

With maps of the connections between neurons and artificial intelligence methods, researchers can now do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without making a single measurement in a living brain.
Pinaceae (pine) pollen On the roof of a UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) lab, at Chilton’s Harwell Science Campus in Oxfordshire, a new chapter in artificial intelligence (AI) and pollen monitoring is unfolding. By leveraging real-time data and AI-powered analysis, our team of toxicologists are developing a deeper understanding of the air we breathe and its impact on our well-being.
Since their invention in the 1920s, jungle gyms and monkey bars have become both fixtures of playgrounds and symbols of childhood injury that anxious caretakers want removed. Anthropologists mark 100 years of the iconic playground equipment by arguing that risky play exercises a biological need passed on from apes and early humans for children to independently test and expand their physical and cognitive abilities in a context in which injury is possible but avoidable.
HSA recently wrapped up its 19 th annual Prescription Drug Management in Workers’ Compensation Survey. The survey will be dropping later this week on our website. One of the most significant findings from this year’s survey is the continued dominance of MyMatrixx in the PBM world. For the 4 th survey in a row, MyMatrixx took the top spot – scoring about 15% higher than the survey average for all PBMs.
Neuroscientists have revealed how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice. The research shows that decision-making is a global process across the brain that is coordinated by learning. The findings could aid artificial intelligence research by providing insights into how to design more distributed neural networks.
It's a dogma taught in every introductory biology class: Proteins are composed of combinations of 20 different amino acids, arranged into diverse sequences like words. But researchers trying to engineer biologic molecules with new functions have long felt limited by those 20 basic building blocks and strived to develop ways of putting new building blocks -- called non-canonical amino acids -- into their proteins.
Access to timely behavioral health services remains a pressing public health concern. In the last reporting year, there have been over 100,000 overdose deaths, including those related to fentanyl and other opioids and 50,000 suicides. Additionally, emergency departments have seen over 200,000 non-fatal overdose-related visits. These figures underscore the critical need for interventions that can make a difference for individuals at risk.
Scientists found that the strength of the Florida Current, the beginning of the Gulf Stream system and a key component of the global Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, has remained stable for the past four decades.
Today, we learned that Frankie Beverly (whose given name was Howard Stanley Beverly), the lead singer of the iconic funk and soul group Frankie Beverly & Maze, died at 77. His family announced the news on the singer’s Instagram account. He made us happy. According to The Philadephia Tribune , the crooner was born on December 6, 1946, and was influenced early by gospel music and singing in the church.
Neanderthal remains recently discovered in a cave in France support well-known theory of why the Neanderthals became extinct, researchers behind a new study say.
The team first looked at variation in data from genetic sequencing of 106,973 post-menopausal female participants in the UK Biobank study. Researchers focused on rare types of genetic changes which cause a loss of the protein, and investigated their effect on the timing of menopause. The genetic changes studied are all rare in the population, however their influence on menopause is five times greater than the impact of any previously identified common genetic variant.
Researchers have demonstrated that bluestreak cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) checked their body size in a mirror before choosing whether to attack fish that were slightly larger or smaller than themselves, saying it was the first time for a non-human animal to be demonstrated to possess some mental states that are elements of private self-awareness.
Astronomers have captured images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface. The images of the star, R Doradus, were obtained in July and August 2023. They show giant, hot bubbles of gas, 75 times the size of the Sun, appearing on the surface and sinking back into the star's interior faster than expected.
The earliest humans to settle the Great Lakes region likely returned to a campsite in southwest Michigan for several years in a row, according to a new study.
Thanks to an experiment started before the Great Depression, researchers have pinpointed the genes behind the remarkable adaptability of barley, a key ingredient in beer and whiskey. These insights could ensure the crop's continued survival amidst rapid climate change.
Newborns who had an atypical pattern of metabolites were more than 14 times as likely to die of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), compared to infants who had more typical metabolic patterns, according to a new study. Metabolites are molecules produced by the body's various chemical reactions. Researchers found that infants who died of SIDS had a specific pattern of metabolites compared to infants who lived to their first year.
