Pancreatic cancer has long challenged scientists not only because it is difficult to detect and treat, but also because a single tumour can behave like several different diseases at once. A new study
Astronomers have been intrigued by a certain type of binary systems that pulse with long-period bursts of radio waves. These pulses occur every few minutes, much longer than the radio pulses from rapidly
In Brief Posted: 2:46 PM PDT · August 22, 2026 As Harvard Business School seeks to expand its reach, it’s leaning on AI avatars to provide individual feedback. These avatars were created by
A new study published in Nature Communications is drawing attention to a question at the intersection of diabetes, heart rhythm disorders and stroke prevention: could tirzepatide be associated with a different stroke risk
In the early 1990s, the logging roads running through Sarawak’s Upper Baram became the site of a bitter confrontation. Penan families built wooden barricades and faced off bulldozers, timber trucks, and state security
How does a community adapt to challenging times? A tiny home built to withstand floods. Ancient floating gardens bringing a canal back to life. Giant fishing nets and the people working to protect

A new theoretical study from Tokyo Metropolitan University could change how scientists search for the next generation of thermoelectric materials—substances capable of converting wasted heat directly into electricity. In research published in Materials
Billions of years ago, Mars was hypothesized to have been a habitable world with flowing liquid water and the potential for life. But directly studying its ancient past is currently limited to orbiters
China’s progress in reducing fine particulate pollution has exposed a more elusive threat in the nation’s atmosphere: ozone. A new article in Engineering warns that surface-level ozone is becoming an increasingly persistent pollutant
