A document long considered an unofficial copy of the “Magna Carta” has been identified as a rare original issued by King Edward I in 1300. Tucked away in Harvard Law School’s library, the manuscript was acquired in 1946 for a mere US$27.50. Medieval history professors from King’s College London used ultraviolet light and spectral imaging to analyze the faded text. They found that the handwriting, wording, and word order perfectly match those of the six other surviving charters from that year.

A groundbreaking AI-powered pen developed by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), could revolutionize the early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. This innovative device detects subtle changes in handwriting, a key indicator of the neurodegenerative disorder. The pen uses magnetic ink and a specialized tip to convert hand movements into electrical signals. These signals are then analyzed by an AI system, which can distinguish Parkinson’s-related handwriting patterns from healthy ones with over 95% accuracy. This low-cost, accessible technology holds promise for widespread screening, particularly in areas with limited medical resources. By enabling early detection and intervention, the
