A large-scale clinical trial has shown that even long-term consumption of DHA--an omega-3 fatty acid found in abundance in oily fish--may not lead to improvements in cognitive function. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid found in abundance in oily fish such as mackerel and sardines, is thought to improve cognitive function by supporting connections between brain cells. However, it has never been conclusively demonstrated that DHA taken as a dietary supplement actually reaches the brain or provides measurable benefits against dementia . Against this backdrop, a research team at the USC School of Medicine has published the results of a large, two-year clinical trial involving older adults at elevated risk of developing Alzheimer's disease . The study found that while high-dose DHA supplements do indeed reach the brain, they did not improve memory or cognitive function, nor did they slow brain atrophy.

A new study has succeeded in mapping, on a global scale, the fungal network that supports plant life and helps regulate our planet's climate. Beneath the Earth's surface lies an extraordinary underground fungal network of almost unimaginable scale. An international team of researchers has, for the first time, produced a global map of this vast mycorrhizal network--the system of fungal filaments that forms mutually beneficial partnerships with plants across the planet. They estimate that the network stretches for roughly 110 quadrillion kilometers in total, nearly 1 billion times the distance between the Earth and the sun. The findings were published in Science. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM fungi) form underground networks that support plant life and help regulate the Earth's climate.

Some features are more clinically useful than others. Smartwatches and other wearables have moved far beyond just tracking your steps and heart rate. Many of today's versions can monitor everything from sleep and skin temperature to respiratory rate, blood oxygen, heart rate variability and even alert you to possible signs of sleep apnea . If you took Big Tech's marketing at face value, you might conclude that your smartwatch is on the verge of becoming a real-life Star Trek Tricorder. But how reliable are wearables for spotting early signs of illnesses or other medical conditions?

Micron Technology on Saturday broke ground on the expansion of its factory in western Japan, a ¥1.5 trillion ($9.3 billion) undertaking to produce advanced memory chips. The Boise, Idaho-based company is building the facility in Hiroshima to make chips such as high-bandwidth memory crucial for AI processors like Nvidia's, with shipments to start around the summer of 2028. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has allocated up to ¥500 billion to help cover the cost. The move is part of a global rampup by the U.S. company to meet demand for AI. Micron is building two leading-edge fabs in Boise and in January held a groundbreaking ceremony for a $100 billion production site outside Syracuse, New York, part of a pledge to increase DRAM production on American soil. "Micron's very first HBM production wafer -- for the memory technology at the heart of AI -- was made right here in Hiroshima," Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said during a ceremony attended by central and local government officials.

What could new rights for unmarried couples mean for your money? When Amelia's fiance died suddenly in his 20s, just months before their wedding, she never imagined the legal and financial turmoil that would follow. I lost him, she says, and then I lost everything we'd ever built together. The couple had been together more than seven years and shared a business. But they were not married and Simon did not have a will, so his mother and father inherited all of his assets - apart from the couple's house - and Amelia was unable to stop them.
