One of the best ways of tracking an infant's neurological development is to observe their movements as they play. A new "smart" jumpsuit is designed to do so automatically, providing consistently accurate data via machine learning technology.

Since early 2020 it has been suggested dogs can sniff out patients with COVID-19. Now, a study has reported on a real-world investigation into this method of detection, finding it's potentially effective, at least in detecting COVID-negative people.

A massive international study designed to unearth new knowledge around the causes of migraines has turned up some interesting new insights, with the authors effectively tripling the number of known genetic risk factors for the condition.

Egg white powder is a widely used food ingredient, which means that a lot of hens have to be raised on a lot of farms, producing a lot of waste. There may soon be a greener alternative, however, thanks to a fungus which produces a key egg protein.

Scientists have used 49 pairs of identical twins to delve into the metabolic changes that can take place in fat tissue as a result of obesity, teasing out some distinct biological processes that were linked to adverse health effects.

A new AI-based system is able to ascertain which facial features are found most attractive by individual people. It can then create computer-generated faces combining those qualities.

Astrophysicists have found evidence of quark matter at the heart of compact stars. Combining recent theoretical calculations with astrophysical observations, the researchers found that the most massive neutron stars most likely have “quark cores.”

Scientists in Finland have conducted a study investigating the root causes of fearfulness in dogs, uncovering a previously unknown link between urban living environments and social fearfulness in dogs.

Two new studies are offering novel insights into celiac disease. One study is suggesting immune responses to gluten lead to neurological damage, while another offers hope for a cure demonstrating a nanoparticle treatment can induce immune tolerance.

In order to assess an infant's neurological development, it's necessary to analyze the manner in which they spontaneously move within a natural environment. A new high-tech jumpsuit could make doing so easier and more accurate than ever before.

Much research into treatments for Parkinson's concentrates on developing therapies that can arrest a slide in dopamine production, and scientists have now uncovered a new path forward in the form of a molecule found to boosts its levels in mice.

Some spectacularly lucky timing helped a number of amateur photographers in Southwest Finland capture a new and very rare form of the Northern Lights that doesn't fit into any pre-existing categories. They're calling them "dunes."
