A team of researchers led by Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital has demonstrated in a new randomized …

Researchers have developed a layered metalens design that can focus multiple colors at once, breaking through fundamental limits of single-layer lenses. Credit: 10.1364/OE.564328 Engineers created multi-layer metalenses that focus several wavelengths. The design could revolutionize portable optical devices. Researchers have introduced a new way to create multicolored lenses that could pave the way for a generation of compact, low-cost, and …

A groundbreaking calculator built on data from nearly 500 clinical trials could revolutionize hypertension treatment by showing doctors how much different drugs lower blood pressure. Credit: Shutterstock Researchers created a tool to estimate how much different drugs lower blood pressure. It may transform hypertension care by improving treatment selection and saving lives. A newly developed Blood Pressure Treatment Efficacy Calculator, …

IN A NUTSHELL 🔍 Scientists have linked mysterious fairy circles to potential underground hydrogen reserves. 🌍 These formations appear in regions like Namibia, Brazil, Australia, and Russia, offering clues to sustainable energy sources. 🧪 Research indicates natural hydrogen emissions correlate with these geological formations, highlighting their energy potential. 💡 If proven reliable, fairy circles could revolutionize how energy companies explore …

High blood pressure is the number one reason that most people visit their doctor. Known as the “silent assassin,” it often creeps in quietly. You feel fine, yet the force in your arteries runs high day after day. The top number, called systolic pressure, is the one doctors watch most closely because it signals how hard your heart is working …

Even though weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are medical breakthroughs, scientists are continuing to work on the next generation of obesity drugs. The latest discovery involves another hormone known as amylin, which scientists say could help revolutionize weight-loss drugs as we know them. RELATED: Why Up to 75% of People on Weight-Loss Drugs Stop Taking Them, Cardiologist Says. …

When the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) commenced operations, it provided the first views of the period known as Cosmic Dawn. This cosmological epoch, which took place between 50 million and one billion years after the Big Bang, was when the first stars and galaxies in the Universe formed. What Webb’s observations revealed of this period surprised and intrigued scientists. …

An unassuming green alga that has lived quietly in laboratory flasks for decades just revealed it carries a giant virus so large, and so stealthy, that nobody had noticed it before. The find rewrites what scientists thought they knew about how big a virus can grow while still hiding inside a single-celled host. The work, led by Maria …

Mathematicians have found a way to transform an unproductive quantum computing approach by reviving a class of previously discarded particles. Quantum computers can solve problems beyond the capabilities of classical computers by using principles like superposition. This means a quantum bit, or qubit, can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously, similar to the famous thought experiment of a cat being …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌌 Scientists at Columbia University discovered a hybrid crystal-glass material called tridymite with unique thermal properties. 🔬 Tridymite maintains constant thermal conductivity across temperatures, defying conventional heat conduction behaviors. 🔥 The material’s properties could revolutionize steel production by improving heat management and reducing carbon emissions. 🌍 Ongoing research into tridymite may impact future technologies, including sustainable practices …
