Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a critical protein in cancer cell growth that signifies the aggressiveness of breast cancer (BC) and helps predict its prognosis.  Researchers at UCLA have introduced  a compact and cost-effective lensfree holography device integrated with deep learning for rapid, automated HER2 scoring of immunohistochemically stained breast tissue sections. 

Scientists have discovered that the electroactive bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens can extract electrons directly from stainless steel to power its metabolism. Surprisingly, this is accomplished without destroying the metal’s protective chromium-oxide passive film, revealing a new mechanism by which microbes can accelerate corrosion of materials widely used in infrastructure and industry.

Accurate sunlight data is becoming essential for the clean-energy transition, but tracking how much solar radiation reaches Earth’s surface remains difficult when clouds, aerosols, and atmospheric changes shift rapidly.

A new remote-sensing framework has produced long-term, high-resolution maps of China's economic sustainability from 2001 to 2021. 

A new wheat powdery mildew index (WPMI) offers a practical way to detect, quantify, and track a major fungal disease of winter wheat across multiple spatial scales.
