In northeastern North America, a 500-mile-long stretch of mountains runs from the Adirondacks in New York to the Gaspé Peninsula in eastern Quebec.The ecological habitats, which include the alpine zones in the Green Mountains and the White Mountains, are home to many rare species of flowering plants, making the areas hotspots for biodiversity. A new Dartmouth-led study using hundreds of satellite images over 40 years provides the first regional analysis of greening trends in the northern Appalachian region.

More than 250 leaders and CEOs from healthcare, biotechnology, medicine, venture capital, government and technology gathered in Boston for the 2026 World Medical Innovation Forum, convened by Mass General Brigham in collaboration with Bank of America. This year's forum, which drew more than 2,300 attendees, focused on “Innovation at Scale,” highlighting emerging treatments, artificial intelligence, scientific discovery and new approaches to improving patient care.

The Molecular Community Network (MCN) can identify metabolomics’ “dark matter”, the unknown molecules that can help researchers find new markers for disease, and measure the efficiency of medical treatment.

Europe could turn more of its scientific discoveries into new technologies, products and businesses by changing the way it funds innovation and supports researchers, according to a new Policy Forum published in Science.

Researchers tested a "sunflower" antenna layout on AAVS3, a full-scale prototype station built for the SKA-Low radio telescope. Computer simulations predicted the layout would lose sensitivity directly overhead at around 125 MHz. Real sky observations confirmed this loss and traced the problem to the layout's repeating geometry. As a result, the Observatory decided not to adopt the design for the telescope's final configuration and selected a modified layout instead.
