The American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) proudly announces Tatsuya Oishi, MD, as the 2024 Scientific Impact Award recipient for his contributions to the neuromuscular community.
Traditionally, planet formation has been described as a “bottom-up” process, as dust grains gradually collect into bigger conglomerations over tens of millions of years: from microns, to centimeters, to meters, to kilometers.
Physicists at the University at Albany hail the latest progress in the hunt for direct evidence of dark matter — believed to be a massive-but-so-far-invisible building block to the universe.
Candle flames, cars, and airplanes emit harmful gases and particles, which are formed through highly complex processes involving extremely fast reactions and often transient flow conditions. To better understand these processes, scientists from the USA and Europe developed the fastest 2D planar imaging system.
Since the early 2000s, optical frequency combs have had a major impact on science and technology. Miniaturization onto photonic chips is important for their deployment outside laboratory settings. Towards this goal, Song et al., demonstrated octave-spanning soliton frequency combs on the thin-film lithium niobate photonic platform.
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope were surprised to find a distant, red galaxy distorted into the shape of a question mark. A specific, rarely-seen type of natural gravitational lens is causing the galaxy to appear multiple times.
A SLIPT system using a MIMO-based configuration significantly enhances data transmission and energy harvesting. This approach combines space- and time-splitting, enabling high data rates and efficient power transfer. The system operates in either single PD or quadrant PD mode, adapting to various conditions and requirements.
A team including faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York has created a machine-learning algorithm that can detect up to 94% of bogus academic papers — nearly twice as successfully as more common data-mining techniques.
POSTECH team develops deep-learning powered label-free photoacoustic histology for virtual staining, segmentation, and classification of human liver cancers.
Green-gap lasing is a grand challenge that nonlinear nanophotonics has promise to address. Our research advances this by using Kerr optical parametric oscillation in silicon nitride microrings, pumped with a tunable 780 nm laser, to access the entire green gap (532-633 nm).
Optical phenomena are typically modeled with nearby interactions because interactions between optical elements generally decrease rapidly with distance. In the research from the Republic of Korea, scientists explored the impact of significant long-range interactions in topological photonics.
Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) has succeeded in domestically developing the ‘CNC driving system’ technology, a core component of machine tools—often referred to as "Mother Machines," the machines that make other machines.
Bad behavior often occurs away from home, leading parents to blame and limit contact with peers. However, a new study shows that banning friendships can backfire, worsening behavior instead of improving it.
Since the 1960s, astronomers have wondered how the Sun's supersonic "solar wind," a stream of energetic particles that flows out into the Solar System, continues to receive energy once it leaves the Sun. Now, thanks to a lucky line up of two spacecraft currently in space studying the Sun, they may have discovered the answer.

A quarter of a century ago, NASA released the “first light” images from the agency’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. This introduction to the world of Chandra’s high-resolution X-ray imaging capabilities included an unprecedented view of Cassiopeia A, the remains of an exploded star located about 11,000 light-years from Earth. Over the years, Chandra’s views of Cassiopeia A have become some of the telescope’s best-known images.
To mark the anniversary of this milestone, new sonifications of three images — including Cassiopeia A (Cas A) — are being released. Sonification is a process that translates astronomical data into sound, similar to how digital data are more routinely turned into images. This translation process preserves the science of the data from its original digital state but provides an alternative pathway to experiencing the data.
Researchers in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters analyzed water from over 100 wells in Denmark for one particularly persistent PFAS: trifluoroacetate. They report steadily increasing levels of the forever chemical in recent decades.
Now, scientists report in ACS Central Science that the unique tenacity of collagen in dinosaur skeletons may result from a molecular structure that shields these vulnerable bonds from attack by water that’s present in the environment.
Looking to extend the viability of human tissues, researchers report in ACS’ Nano Letters their efforts to facilitate completely freezing, rather than cooling and then thawing, potentially life-saving organs for transplant. They demonstrate a magnetic nanoparticle’s successful rewarming of animal tissues.
