Ultralightweight sonar plus AI lets tiny drones navigate like bats

Inspired by bats, a new ultra-low-power sensing system enables tiny drones to navigate through darkness, smoke and dust, where cameras and other light-based sensors fail.

Astrophysicists trace the origin of valuable metals in space, from colliding stars to merging galaxies

Gold and platinum are found in space, created when two stars collide. Astrophysicists can even trace this process further back, to the merger of galaxies.

Higher buprenorphine doses help patients stay in opioid use disorder treatment, new study finds

Black patients were less likely to receive higher doses. This may reflect inequities in health care or misconceptions among patients that higher doses are unsafe.

Lifting the lid on unknown coral microbiomes living in the Pacific ocean

Several years worth of findings from a floating laboratory have tapped into a well-stocked coral library of taxonomic, genetic and chemical diversity, previously unknown to Science and Medicine.
