Good news, everyone!

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new, personalized approach to deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with drug-resistant epilepsy. By mapping each patient's unique brain wave patterns, the method allows physicians to target the precise area in the brain where stimulation is most effective, moving beyond the traditional one-size-fits-all approach.

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has established Korea's first national standards for the reliable performance verification of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems. Based on these newly established standards, KRISS will begin providing calibration and testing services for national power authorities and related industries.

A comprehensive review of the challenges in printing with paste-like materials and how understanding the underlying physics could improve manufacturing reliability has been co-authored by a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa mechanical engineering researcher.

Throughout history, humans have produced creative solutions to make parenting easier. Today, that might look like smart socks that measure your baby's vital signs while sleeping or electronic swings that soothe them while you're trying to get housework done. But the concept of "baby gear" or "parenting technology" has been around for thousands of years—and we see evidence of it around the world.

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new dusty star-forming galaxy at high redshift. The newfound galaxy, designated AC-2168, was detected using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA). The finding was detailed in a paper published Nov. 11 on the pre-print server arXiv.

A recent study by Dr. Omer Peleg and his colleagues examined the unique 7th-century BCE (Iron IIC) cremation burial assemblage discovered at Horvat Tevet. The assemblage is the richest and most diverse burial assemblage found to date in the Southern Levant and includes unparalleled pottery and luxury items, indicating the individual, likely a merchant or official, had exclusive connections to extensive trade networks linked to the Neo-Assyrian Empire. This assemblage also directly challenges arguments that these territories were deliberately neglected.

The Health and Human Services Department is proposing new initiatives for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including a program to increase hepatitis B screening for pregnant women, as part of a broader push to restructure the agency, according to an internal document viewed by Bloomberg News.

In the visions of researchers at the University of Oulu, light does far more than illuminate. It provides, among others, a new way to transmit data securely and efficiently, while also offering a sustainable energy source for smart devices.

What makes art art? Is it the method or the creator? Does it need a color palette and oil paints, or a canvas laid flat on the floor and paint splattered across it? Does it require a critically acclaimed painter, or a toddler with crayons? And when it comes to the artist, can we even reliably tell if an artwork has been created by children or adults?

A recent study with prospective teachers at the University of Cologne shows how research competence develops during research-based learning. While the cognitive domain of research competence—for example, knowledge and understanding of research processes—increases significantly over the course of the semester, motivational aspects such as enjoyment, interest, and perceived benefits of research decrease slightly (the so-called affective-motivational domain). However, the decisive factor is that prospective teachers who are particularly motivated at the outset also develop their cognitive domain the most.

A new survey by Morning Consult and the nonprofit Physicians Committee finds that 65% of adults support establishing a special program that would allow migrant farmworkers to remain in the U.S. to help with food production. This is especially relevant at this time of harvest and feasting, since many foods commonly served during the holidays, such as sweet potatoes, pecans, pumpkins, and cranberries, require many workers, as well as machinery, to grow and harvest. About half of farmers say they don't have the labor they need, according to the Kansas Reflector.

Two Virginia high school students have discovered how sea anemones respond to salinity changes caused by hurricane rainfall. As hurricanes worsen due to climate change, this important information could help conservation efforts and inspire advocacy efforts. The research was shared in a paper published in Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research on October 7.

A new system could overhaul maps that misclassify hundreds of thousands of smallholder coffee and cacao farmers as working in forests. Without better maps, deforestation regulations could ripple through markets from remote farms to a caffe mocha near you.

Despite decades of research, effective disease-modifying therapies remain elusive, underscoring the urgent need for novel neuroprotective strategies.

Not long ago, the idea of diagnosing a disease with a droplet of blood was considered a pipe dream. Today, this technology could soon become a reality.

Pecans, America's only native major nut, have a storied history in the United States. Today, American trees produce hundreds of millions of pounds of pecans—80% of the world's pecan crop. Most of that crop stays here. Pecans are used to produce pecan milk, butter and oil, but many of the nuts end up in pecan pies.

Bacterial infections can spread quickly, especially in hospital settings or crowded communities, where vulnerable people are treated in close proximity and bacteria move between them. Antimicrobial-resistant infections are a growing threat, with over 1 million deaths attributable to AMR annually. Outbreaks caused by resistant strains can be difficult to control and treat.

New research led by Peter Mac medical oncologist Professor Michael Jefford has identified major opportunities to strengthen cancer survivorship care across the Western Pacific.

The researchers have developed a scalable, versatile approach to designing and fabricating wireless, internet-enabled electronic systems that can better adapt to 3D surfaces, like the human body or common household items, paving the path for more precise health monitoring or household automation, such as a smart recliner that can monitor and correct poor sitting habits to improve circulation and prevent long-term problems.

X-ray imaging is useful for seeing inside objects without causing damage, but until now it was not practical for use underwater. Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have developed the first X-ray imaging system that clearly reveals the interior of suspicious objects or infrastructure underwater.

Northwestern University engineers have developed the first haptic device that achieves "human resolution," meaning it accurately matches the sensing abilities of the human fingertip.

Virtual keyboards are a frequent source of frustration for augmented reality (AR) users. The virtual surfaces are slow and error prone, and raising an arm to type on them can cause muscle strain known as "gorilla arm."

Energy systems are incredibly complex, incorporating a dizzying array of power generators, distribution technologies and end-users; analyzing how all of those variables will change in the future poses challenges for long-term planning. A new method improves the computational modeling of these systems, giving policymakers new insights into which variables have the biggest impact and merit extra attention.

Microrobots—tiny robots less than a millimeter in size—are useful in a variety of applications that require tasks to be completed at scales far too small for other tools, such as targeted drug-delivery or micro-manufacturing. However, the researchers and engineers designing these robots have run into some limitations when it comes to navigation. A new study, published in Nature, details a novel solution to these limitations—and the results are promising.

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today's physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D sketches into 3D models that they can then test and refine before sending a final version to a production line. But the software is notoriously complicated to learn, with thousands of commands to choose from. To be truly proficient in the software takes a huge amount of time and practice.
