Warmer weather drives a surge in deadly mosquito-borne diseases. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology enables clinicians to identify MBDs and provide timely and effective treatment.

The United States Assistant Secretary of Defense for Science and Technology Honorable Aprille Ericsson visited Rice to explore areas of alignment between Rice’s research strengths and Department of Defense technological needs and priorities.

An AI-enhanced camera designed to take images of the eye’s retina, developed with UCL and Moorfields researchers, is being deployed in remote Western Australia in an effort to prevent rural and Indigenous Australians going blind from a condition linked to untreated diabetes.

UNLV Brain Health researcher Lina Nih is developing a treatment that could one day alter how practitioners address stroke recovery.

On a recent research trip to the Dry Tortugas, Shedd Aquarium scientists rescued the only known staghorn coral survivors in the area after last year’s devastating bleaching event in the Florida Keys. The remarkable discovery of live staghorn coral colonies is crucial for the future of this critically endangered species, enabling additional research on coral heat tolerance and restoration. Shedd’s research team found 43 living colonies of staghorn coral and utilized the aquarium’s research vessel, the R/V Coral Reef II, to safely transport small, living fragments back to land-based gene bank facilities to further safeguard the species.

Jefferson Lab has dedicated the first particle accelerator cryomodule built with niobium-tin components. The quarter cryomodule is the first designed and tested for accelerating an electron beam to 10 MeV or greater energies and marks a major milestone toward the next era of SRF particle accelerators.

Mexican Coke tastes different than American Coke; after all, it’s sweetened using cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. That, at least, was the conventional wisdom until 2011, when a paper published in the journal Obesity found that Mexican Coke contained no cane sugar. Instead, the authors found plenty of glucose and fructose, which are the main ingredients in high-fructose corn syrup. Join our Reactions host George as he tests a bottle of Mexican Coke and confirms — to his utter surprise — the presence of glucose, then follows this mystery step by step to its shocking conclusion.
