A research team at Nagoya University in Japan has discovered a surprising phenomenon that could revolutionize how we think about signal amplification. Just two tiny vibrating units can, when connected with a delay, amplify their combined vibrations by 100 million times. Their findings have applications for communication technology, suggesting that small, simple devices could be used to transmit clear signals over long distances. 

About The Study: The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that differences in reporting race and ethnicity across geographic locations and underrepresentation of certain racial and ethnic groups in U.S.-based randomized clinical trials highlight the need for international guidelines to ensure equitable recruitment and reporting in clinical trials. 

Two new advanced predictive algorithms use information about a person’s health conditions and simple blood tests to accurately predict a patient’s chances of having a currently undiagnosed cancer, including hard to diagnose liver and oral cancers. The new models could revolutionise how cancer is detected in primary care, and make it easier for patients to get treatment at much earlier stages. 

A research team has uncovered a promising solution to reduce the explosive potential of tert-butyl perbenzoate (TBPB), a widely used chemical initiator in polymerization processes.

The Hertz Foundation has announced 19 recipients of the 2025 Hertz Fellowships in applied science, engineering and mathematics. The 2025 Hertz Fellows are pursuing solutions to some of our most vexing challenges, including developing proprioceptive robotic hands, building collision avoidance systems for satellites, and developing grid-scale renewable energy storage systems.
