Magnetic resonance imaging detects MS only after damage to the brain has occurred, but a molecular signal could confirm diagnosis earlier, and dramatically improve treatment.
Stanford research finds low-income communities in California face a “wildfire safety deficit” as a result of longstanding policies about who should pay to move power lines underground.
A nationwide study that includes the collection of data on sexual orientation and gender identity is an unprecedented resource for studying health outcomes and inequities.
A lower intensity statin may be as effective in reducing LDL cholesterol levels in older patients as a higher dose is in younger patients, and with fewer side effects.
By tinkering with the material makeup of perovskite LEDs, a cheaper and more easily-made type of LED, Stanford researchers achieved leaps in brightness and efficiency – but saw their lights give out after a few minutes of use.
As sea levels rise and flooding becomes more frequent, many countries are considering a controversial strategy: relocation of communities. A Stanford analysis of planned relocations around the world reveals a blueprint for positive outcomes.
A four-year study of female collegiate runners found that counseling on nutrition and maintaining a healthy weight led to increased bone density and stronger performance.
In certain organisms, injuries on one part of the body can induce a healing response in another. New evidence suggests this whole-body response isn’t a side effect: it’s the main feature.
Multi-year datasets from the King Center’s African Urbanization and Development Research Initiative continue to inform research and policy insights in Ethiopia and Côte d’Ivoire.
The Advanced Simons Observatory will use the cosmic microwave background to help us understand the evolution of the universe and the many phenomena within it.
Switching from hydropower to fossil fuels during droughts has led to higher carbon emissions and cost 11 Western states tens of billions of dollars over the past two decades, Stanford research finds.
For making the complex electric grids of tomorrow reliable, improved coordination of demands and resources can accomplish more at far less expense than widespread and costly infrastructure upgrades, a new study shows.
Astrophysicist Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez explains the extraordinary new results from the Survey of extragalactric magnetism with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SALSA) project, which compared magnetic fields from different environments in deep space.
A survey of more than a thousand Tinder users found that their motives for using the app had a big influence on how satisfied they were with the dates it led to.
Scientists are tracking the epic migration of 100 endangered North Pacific loggerhead turtles from Japan to test a hypothesis that warm water events like El Niño unlock a corridor allowing some turtles to ride ocean currents all the way to North America.
