A comprehensive analysis published in JAMA sheds light on the pervasive financial relationships between physicians and the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. Led by a team from Penn State College of Medicine, the study examined data from the Open Payments platform, revealing that doctors received approximately $12.1 billion from drug and device makers between 2013 and 2022.
A groundbreaking report delves into the strategies and progress of nations worldwide in integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into science and research, shedding light on advancements and challenges shaping this dynamic field.
Cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are revolutionizing scientific fields beyond traditional applications, as demonstrated by a recent breakthrough in super-resolution microscopy.
For two decades, the EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF) has served as a pivotal gathering for scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders to delve into the realms of European science and its societal impacts. However, the impending bankruptcy of the European Association for the Advancement of Science and Technology (EuroScience), the driving force behind ESOF, casts a shadow over the future of this renowned event.
Researchers have unveiled a significant breakthrough in Parkinson's disease research with the creation of transgenic marmosets that closely mimic the disease's onset and progression. Led by neuroscientist Hideyuki Okano and his team at Keio University, the genetically engineered marmosets provide valuable insights into the early stages of Parkinson's, shedding light on disease progression and potential treatments.
A recent study sheds light on disparities in news coverage of scientific research, revealing that scientists with East Asian and African names are less likely to be mentioned or quoted in news stories referencing their work. Lead author Hao Peng emphasizes the significance of media recognition for career progression and academic acknowledgment, highlighting the broader implications for public perception of scientists.
As the fight against climate change intensifies, startups are turning to innovative ocean-based carbon capture technologies to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Unlike traditional air-based capture methods, these ventures leverage the ocean's natural CO2 concentration to extract the greenhouse gas more efficiently and cost-effectively.
A recent image of the black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), hints at the presence of a jet emanating from its core. Unlike the dramatic jets observed in other galaxies, this potential jet from Sgr A* appears to be more subdued.
The European Union (EU) has initiated investigations against major tech players Apple, Google's parent company Alphabet, and Meta, marking the first-ever probes under the sweeping Digital Markets Act (DMA). These inquiries, the first of their kind under the new legislation, could potentially result in substantial fines against the US tech behemoths.
