A global Android smartphone-based earthquake detection and early warning system can detect seismic activity in real time and deliver life-saving alerts with effectiveness rivaling that of traditional seismic networks, according to a new Science study. Learn more in this week's…

Flipping off an enzymatic switch protects the heart from a high-fat diet in mice, new experiments in cells untangle how colorectal cancer cells can develop resistance to RAS inhibitors, and more this week in #ScienceSignaling. scim.ag/3UueLg0

China has taken a commanding lead in the exploding field of #AI research, despite U.S. restrictions on exporting key computing chips to its rival, finds a new report. scim.ag/3GTaU9l @NewsfromScience

Sex at birth may not be purely random, according to a new @ScienceAdvances study. Instead, each family’s likelihood of having only male or only female children is a “weighted coin toss” influenced by maternal age and genetics. scim.ag/3GwnP0S

A 2024 @ScienceAdvances analysis involving data from more than 35,000 adults with dyslexia has revealed structural differences in the brain that correlate with a genetic predisposition to dyslexia. Learn more on #WorldBrainDay: scim.ag/3TRaAuz

Engineered gut bacteria designed to treat kidney stones successfully colonized the gut microbiome and reduced oxalate levels in animal models and early clinical trials in humans, researchers report in Sciece. The findings offer a promising, yet still imperfect, step toward…

A new @SciImmunology study describes how the relative antimicrobial activity of #Hofbauer cells, or placental macrophages, diminishes during pregnancy, correlating with increased susceptibility to #listeriosis. scim.ag/3GTC285

Last year in Science, researchers generated a nanoscale-resolution reconstruction of a millimeter-scale fragment of human cerebral cortex, giving an unprecedented view into the structural organization of brain tissue at the supracellular, cellular, and subcellular levels. Learn…

🎉 Congratulations to Zhuoran Qiao, winner of the inaugural Chen Institute and Science Prize for #Al Accelerated Research for his work to help capture and view dynamic small-scale behaviors of biomolecules that have gone unseen—and which are critical to applications like drug…

"In Collisions: A Physicist’s Journey from Hiroshima to the Death of the Dinosaurs, Alec Nevala-Lee delivers a masterful and unflinching portrait of [Luis] Alvarez, one of the 20th century’s most inventive—and most divisive—physicists." Read the #ScienceBooks Review:…
