Scientists have successfully completed a series of commissioning experiments to solve their very first protein structure on a one-of-a-kind X-ray instrument: the compact X-ray light source. This marks a major milestone in the opening of what promises to be the dawn of a new era of scientific discovery and its downstream applications to improve the health and well-being of society.

MSK researchers are making radiation therapy more precise and safer by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence.

Angel Martí, chair of Rice University’s Department of Chemistry, is leading efforts to highlight chemistry’s role in advancing brain health research. With Texas voters set to decide on Proposition 14 in November, which would create the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT), Martí says now is the right time to underscore how fundamental science paves the way for breakthroughs in treating Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and related disorders.

The Media Research Division of Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) is a world-class research organization with more than 80 PhD-level researchers. Over the past 20 years, it has been continuously developing core fundamental technologies in video and audio compression, as well as broadcast transmission, focusing on MPEG and Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standard bodies. Through these efforts, the company has secured more than 2,000 patents in major international standards in the media field, including ▲ High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), ▲ Versatile Video Coding (VVC), ▲ Unified Speech and Audio Coding (USAC), ▲ Three Dimension Audio (3DA), ▲ Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), and ▲ Broadcast transmission technology (ATSC 3.0), with cumulative royalty revenues exceeding KRW 100 billion.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) marked the retirement of Joseph Thomason on Sept. 5, recognizing his extraordinary 62-year career in the Radar Division that helped shape modern over-the-horizon (OTH) radar capabilities for the Navy and the nation.

NYU scientists are developing a zinc-based treatment for tooth decay that combats bacteria, blocks pain, and avoids staining teeth—all without drilling

The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM, President Seog-Hyeon Ryu), under the National Research Council of Science and Technology (NST, Chairman Young-Shik Kim), has announced the successful development and demonstration of Korea’s first 20kW-class anode-supported solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) system.

The system achieved more than 3,000 hours of stable, continuous operation with electrical efficiency exceeding 83%, marking a significant step toward the large-scale, cost-efficient production of clean hydrogen. This accomplishment lays the groundwork for the integration of hydrogen production with renewable energy and nuclear power, supporting Korea’s transition to a hydrogen economy and carbon neutrality.

Inherited heart conditions place millions of children at risk from birth. Up to 80% of premature cardiovascular deaths are preventable with early screening and healthier lifestyle options, according to the World Heart Federation. 

Without early detection, conditions such as congenital heart defects and familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) can quietly disrupt growth, energy levels, and long-term organ function.

Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) can detect these risks at the earliest possible stage. It shifts cardiac care away from crisis management toward proactive, precision prevention.
