Early Dark Energy: A Possible Solution to the Hubble Tension
As measurements of the Hubble constant using different methods become more precise, the Hubble tension becomes more defined. However, early dark energy, a model of dark energy that could change the way scientists understand the expansion of the Universe, poses a fascinating solution.

X-Linked Genetic Deviations Give Rise to Neural Developmental Disorders
People describe DNA in many ways. Bill Gates has likened it to a computer program, though it far surpasses the complexity of any man-made software. Another depicts DNA as its own language, telling the story of life itself.

A Universe Full of Milky Ways: Revelations by JWST
How old is our Galaxy, and when did Milky Way-like galaxies start to form? The answer to how we got here may be written in the cosmos, in galaxies that mirror our own and perhaps carry the same potential.

Illuminating Parkinson’s Disease with STORM Microscopy
The chemical messenger of a neuron, a neurotransmitter, is only 0.5-5 nanometers in size. They don’t look like much, but these miniscule molecules are responsible for a cascade of signals that lead to a neuron firing in the brain. However, visualizing such small structures is no easy feat.

Hacking Neural Networks: How Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Improves Functional and Structural Dysconnectivity
Depression is an increasing health concern, affecting an estimated 280 million people worldwide. Fortunately, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, offers hope for those diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression

Nanomaterials in Regenerative Dentistry
Your gums do not regenerate after gum disease—it is impossible. For people who don’t brush and floss two times a day, periodontitis (advanced gum disease) quickly forms. Without proper intervention, this disease can cause gum recession, tooth loss, and the destruction of the jawbone.

Rare Earth Nanoprobes in Revolutionizing Breast Cancer Surgery
Breast cancer is the world’s most common cancer, with over 300,000 new cases diagnosed yearly in the United States alone. However, due to non-optimal cancer visualization techniques during surgery, the invasive e-excision rates for breast cancer (the need for a second surgery) are around 20-30%.
