Scientists have released a massive, open-source brain scan database tracking how people read. By combining fMRI, MEG, and EEG data from different cohorts, this resource helps us understand the human brain's reading centre. It also provides a benchmark to test if AI models actually process language like humans do.
A comprehensive review details how advanced CRISPR tools are being used to modify the Leishmania parasite and its sand-fly vector in laboratory studies. These methods could speed up drug discovery, opening up future career paths for students in molecular biology and translational research.
A new scientific review synthesises how grey-footed chacma baboons survive extreme seasonal changes in Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park. Their dietary flexibility offers a vital model for understanding how early human ancestors survived ancient climate shifts.
Researchers have developed a green, biomass-based solvent system to print highly efficient solar cells in laboratory tests. This technique replaces carcinogenic and highly hazardous solvents in the printing process. The discovery suggests a future where high-efficiency solar cells can be manufactured sustainably and at scale.
