A team of researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, has made a groundbreaking discovery that could change our understanding of fluid dynamics and its practical applications in manipulating floating objects using water waves. This innovative method presents a new technique to control water surfaces, allowing for the precise movement and trapping of objects—paving the way for novel applications in both industrial and ecological realms. The technique is built upon the principle of generating and merging water waves to form complex surface patterns. By creating specific wave formations, the researchers can manipulate floating objects, much like guiding them with an invisible…

In an intriguing development in the intersection of healthcare and technology, a recent survey led by Duke Health has unveiled compelling insights regarding patient interactions with artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical communication. This survey, conducted under the auspices of Duke University School of Medicine, garnered responses from over 1,400 participants who are part of Duke Health’s patient advisory committee. The aim was to understand patient preferences when receiving medical communications generated by AI compared to those crafted by human clinicians. The survey stemmed from a crucial question in modern healthcare: as AI continues to permeate various sectors, how does its…

A recent study led by researchers from the American Cancer Society (ACS) and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has brought to light a concerning reality for cancer patients recovering from surgery during wildfire disasters. The study, published in the esteemed Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI), reveals that patients who experience wildfires during their recovery from lung cancer surgeries endure longer hospital stays compared to those treated in the same facilities during times of normalcy. This research unveils a critical intersection between public health and environmental crises, underscoring the need for targeted guidelines to care for vulnerable…

A groundbreaking advancement in pharmaceutical research has emerged with the development of the Automated In Vivo Screening System (AISS), revolutionizing the methodology for drug evaluation. Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University unveiled this fully automated system, enabling rapid and precise multi-organ imaging in zebrafish, a model organism that has gained acclaim for its unique attributes in biomedical research. By harnessing state-of-the-art microfluidic technology and computer vision, the AISS shifts the paradigm in preclinical drug testing, paving the way for more accurate and efficient methodologies. The rise of zebrafish as a prominent model for drug screening owes much to their transparent bodies…

Researchers from RMIT University and the University of Melbourne have unveiled a groundbreaking discovery regarding the electrical charge generated by water as it moves across surfaces, particularly Teflon. Their study revealed that this phenomenon is capable of generating electrical charges that are up to ten times stronger than previously recognized. The implications of this research extend across various domains, potentially transforming how we approach energy storage and management in fluid handling systems. Dr. Joe Berry, Dr. Peter Sherrell, and Professor Amanda Ellis led the research team, which observed a unique “stick-slip” motion inherent in water droplets as they navigate minute…

A recent study published in a prestigious scientific journal has ignited a critical discussion surrounding the implications of elevated atmospheric CO₂ levels on food security, plant growth, and overall crop quality. This research scrutinizes the increasingly pertinent question of how rising carbon dioxide concentrations, a hallmark of climate change, affect our crops, our food systems, and thus, our very way of life. The increasing rates of CO₂ in our atmosphere compel us to understand these effects if we aim to ensure food stability for future generations, especially in a warming world. At the outset, it’s essential to acknowledge that the…

In recent explorations within the intersection of cancer research and environmental science, a pivotal new commentary has drawn attention to the role of exposomes in influencing genetic factors related to cancer initiation and progression. Published in the scholarly journal Oncotarget, this insightful editorial, titled “EXPOSOMES and GENES: The duo influencing CANCER initiation and progression,” advocates for a more profound understanding of how myriad external environmental factors interact with our genetic makeup, ultimately shaping an individual’s cancer risk. The authors argue that the synergy between exposomes—those environmental exposures we encounter daily—and genetic predisposition forms a critical nexus that warrants further investigation.…

Workplace culture is a critical component influencing the effective implementation of lifestyle medicine programs across health systems, as indicated by a recent study published in BMJ Open. This study emphasizes the notable connection between organizational climate and the success of health interventions that focus on lifestyle modifications to combat chronic diseases. Researchers meticulously crafted case studies from multiple health systems that embody a range of characteristics, such as size, geographical location, payment models, and diverse patient demographics. To gain comprehensive insights, over 40 stakeholders from these health systems—including administrative leaders, physicians, and various team members involved in lifestyle medicine programs—were…

Intelligent design is an international enterprise, spanning continents and speaking to people in many languages and across diverse platforms. I was delighted recently, for example, to see our colleague Casey Luskin in dialogue with Muslim YouTubers, here in the U.S. and in the U.K. Our Summer Seminars have a whole program, the International Seminar on Intelligent Design (July 10-12, 2025), giving evidence that ID education can’t be contained by the United States. And so forth.  Among our partners around the world, one of the finest, doing some of the most impressive work,…

Newsletter Signup – Under Article / In Page”*” indicates required fields International Women’s Day was Saturday, a fitting moment to assess how women are represented in the biotech industry – more specifically, in clinical trials. Indeed, while there’s more awareness about fair representation across industries, women’s underrepresentation in clinical trials has been a persistent issue.Historically, women were often excluded from clinical studies due to concerns about hormonal fluctuations and potential risks during pregnancy. Indeed, in 1977, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidelines that effectively barred women of childbearing potential from participating in early-phase clinical trials. This exclusion…
