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.

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
