We bring an overview of the severe drought that affected almost all of Florida in 2026. Find out how the lack of rainfall is depleting groundwater, why usage restrictions are being introduced, what the consequences are for agriculture and wildfires, and whether the forecast rain can bring real relief.
Find out how MIT researchers developed Sandook, a software system that increases SSD efficiency in data centers through smarter load distribution. We explain what the solution changes for databases, AI models, infrastructure costs, and the sustainability of digital systems.
Find out what new research from UCSF, the University of Cambridge, and Cedars-Sinai shows about multiple sclerosis. We bring an overview of the discovery according to which chronic inflammation damages not only myelin but also gray matter neurons, which may help explain cognitive difficulties and disease progression.
Find out why scientists are monitoring harmful algal blooms ever more seriously, how domoic acid endangers humans and marine animals, and why climate change, food safety, and the protection of coastal communities are turning this issue into an important public health and environmental concern.
Find out how MIT researchers combined traffic cameras, mobile data, and traffic analysis to precisely measure vehicle emissions in New York. We bring you what the new study shows, why such data matters for public policy, and what effects congestion pricing had in Manhattan.
Find out how a new heat-activated melanoma patch could one day offer non-invasive skin cancer treatment. We explain what laboratory tests and mouse experiments showed, why the result attracted scientists’ attention, and why surgery still remains the standard treatment.
