Observations of seven fast-moving stars at the center of a dense star cluster in the Milky Way reveal the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole, perhaps the most puzzling class of these dark objects.

Researchers have developed a cancer-detection method that uses painless sound waves, rather than a torturing needle, to obtain genetic information about a patient’s cancer.

The MNH eCohorts enrolled women during their first antenatal care visit in 2 sentinel sites in Ethiopia, India, Kenya, and South Africa. In India, a site with better health outcomes and a site with poorer outcomes were chosen. In the remaining countries, an urban site and a rural site were chosen. Enrollment facilities reflect care-seeking patterns according to local health information data across public and private facilities and primary and secondary levels. Data collectors had a range of educational and experience profiles, and phone data collection was completed by the same enumerators in some countries and outsourced to data collection firms in others. Adequate infrastructure (including Internet and mobile phone coverage) was essential to implementation. Although follow-up is ongoing in India and South Africa, the eCohort retained 89%–90% of participants throughout the entire pregnancy and 78%–81% until 3 months postpartum in Ethiopia and Kenya, respectively.
