When night falls and children are sleeping at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, little elves come to life to bring joy to patients when they need it the most.
In a groundbreaking study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers have uncovered significant genetic connections between human language abilities and musical rhythm skills, providing new insights into the biological underpinnings of these fundamental human traits.
As part of the COVID-19 International Research Team, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the University of Pittsburgh and Weill Cornell Medicine discovered a novel cause of cytokine storm — the extreme inflammatory response associated with increased risk of death in COVID-19 infection.
Samantha Paustian-Underdahl, a researcher and organizational expert in the Florida State University College of Business, led a comprehensive study that challenges long-held assumptions about gender and leadership effectiveness.The study, “Gender and Evaluations of Leadership Behaviors: A Meta-Analytic Review of 50 Years of Research,” published this fall in Leadership Quarterly, finds that women leaders consistently receive higher ratings than men across most effective leadership styles.
Scientists have a new way to use data from high-energy particle smashups to peer inside protons. Their approach uses quantum information science to map out how particle tracks streaming from electron-proton collisions are influenced by quantum entanglement inside the proton.
Alcohol’s ability to increase people’s pain threshold is one reason that drinking also leads to more aggressive behavior, a new study suggests. Researchers found that the less pain that study participants felt after drinking an alcoholic beverage, the more pain they were willing to inflict on someone else.
New research reveals the pivotal role of a mitochondrion-localized protein, PtoRFL30, in the wood formation of poplar trees. This revelation sheds light on the dynamic communication between a tree’s nuclear and mitochondrial systems, offering crucial insights into secondary growth.

Yale researchers made an unexpected discovery—turncoat T cells that help a tumor evade other cancer-fighting immune T cells—in a study of patients living with advanced melanoma that was published Nov. 28 in Nature Immunology.
A cutting-edge studystudy has uncovered the pivotal role of the sltrxh protein in tomatoes in managing nitrate stress—a growing challenge in modern agriculture. The research highlights that s-nitrosation, a key post-translational modification of sltrxh, significantly enhances the plant's ability to tolerate high nitrate levels. This discovery marks a promising step toward developing crop varieties with improved resistance to nitrogen stress, addressing both agricultural and environmental concerns.
A new method has been developed to create optical vortices with spatial-frequency patching metasurfaces. These "super-capacity perfect vector vortex beams" offer significantly increased data transmission capacity by utilizing multiple dimensions, including beam morphology, polarization azimuth, and ellipticity angle.
The journal Geo-Spatial Information Science will soon release a special issue showcasing the mid-term achievements of the China-Europe Earth Observation project, “Dragon 5.” Launched in July 2020, the initiative has made significant strides in Earth sciences, fostering cross-border collaboration and advancing the use of satellite data.
Faced with the persistent challenge of Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) errors in urban Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) navigation, researchers have introduced an innovative solution powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). By leveraging the Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), this method analyzes multiple GNSS signal features to accurately identify and differentiate NLOS errors.
Biology textbooks may need a revision, say Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists, who present new evidence that an armlike structure of mammalian brain cells may be a different shape than scientists have assumed for more than a century.
University of South Australia researchers have created a new, food-grade, natural solution for obesity, that not only cuts the kilos and improves metabolic health but does so without the nasty side effects.
New sociological research finds that school segregation continues to widen racial achievement gaps among Black, Hispanic, and White students in US public schools.
Half of 18- to 25-year-olds believe that the average young adult drives or rides in a car at least once a month while the driver is under the influence of alcohol and cannabis.
The life cycle assessment (LCA) results, which have been peer-reviewed and published in Radiology, found diagnostic services generate the equivalent of nearly 1,100 gas-powered cars annually, or an estimated 4.6kt carbon dioxide equivalent.
A cardiogenic shock team at a Texas specialty hospital significantly decreased the time from first signs to diagnosis and from the initial transfer request to acceptance for patients being transferred from a referring hospital

Researchers from Bar-Ilan University and Haifa University have unveiled a new theory of interpersonal synchrony that redefines how we understand social coordination and its role in human interaction. Titled “A Theory of Flexible Multimodal Synchrony,” the paper, recently published in Psychological Review, provides an innovative framework for understanding synchrony across behavioral, physiological, and neural modalities.
