No Antibiotics Needed – Revolutionary Chronic Wound Treatment Could Help MillionsAn international team of scientists has developed a new treatment for chronic wounds that uses ionized gas to activate a wound dressing, without the need for antibiotics. The treatment involves the plasma activation of hydrogel dressings (that are commonly used in wound dressings) with a unique m

Prostate Cancer Breakthrough: Urine Test Avoids Unnecessary BiopsiesA study in JAMA Oncology reveals that MyProstateScore 2.0, a new urine test analyzing 18 genes, surpasses PSA in detecting significant prostate cancers and could reduce unnecessary biopsies by up to 42%. A new urine test that measures 18 genes associated with prostate cancer provides higher accur

Experimental drug shields pancreas from type 1 diabetes attackScientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say that an experimental monoclonal antibody drug called mAb43 appears to prevent and reverse the onset of clinical type 1 diabetes in mice, and in some cases, to lengthen the animals' lifespan.

How Cancer Research Is Revolutionizing Lyme Disease TreatmentFibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitors, a type of drug previously studied in the context of cancer, shows promise in reducing inflammation and cell death in brain and nerve tissue samples infected with Borrelia burgdorferi. Tulane University researchers have identified a promising new appro

Revolutionizing Connectivity: Researchers Develop Game-Changing 3D ProcessorsResearchers at the University of Florida have developed a new technique using semiconductor technology to produce processors that greatly improve the efficiency of transmitting large volumes of data worldwide. The innovation, featured on the current cover of the journal Nature Electronics, is poised

32 times lasers revealed hidden forts and settlements from centuries agoLasers have helped uncover ancient human-made structures the world over.

Haunting Sounds From The World's Largest Living Thing RecordedWe can now hear one of the largest and most ancient living organisms on Earth whisper with the tremble of a million leaves echoing through its roots.

Ancient, 30-foot relative of great white shark unearthed in Mexico quarry"Exceptionally preserved" fossils of an ancient shark that lived alongside the dinosaurs has finally revealed what the predator looked like — and why it may have gone extinct.

How a NASA Probe Solved a Scorching Solar Mystery | Quanta MagazineThe outer layers of the sun’s atmosphere are a blistering million degrees hotter than its surface. The hidden culprit? Magnetic activity.

'Strongest Statistical Evidence Yet' For Planet Nine Has Been Found, Scientist SaysThe hunt for the elusive Planet Nine goes on, and new research claims to have the "strongest statistical evidence yet" that there is such a planet orbiting somewhere around the far edges of the Solar System.

Scientists Have Created A 'Toxic AI' That Is Rewarded For Thinking Up The Worst Possible Questions We Could ImagineResearchers at MIT are developing an AI model that is tolerant and does not respond toxically to otherwise provocative questions. This new approach re

Playing God With the AtmosphereInterfering with Earth’s climate systems is becoming more possible—and less predictable—than ever.

Reforestation study finds only a few tree species can survive a century of rapid climate changeEurope's forests have already been severely affected by climate change. Thousands of hectares of trees have already died due to drought and bark beetles. Scientists from the University of Vienna and the Technical University of Munich TUM have now investigated which trees can be used for reforestation.

NASA's Voyager 1 resumes sending engineering updates to EarthFor the first time since November, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is returning usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems. The next step is to enable the spacecraft to begin returning science data again. The probe and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to ever fly in interstellar space (the space between stars).

Physicists Think The Infinite Size of The Multiverse Could Be Infinitely BiggerNot only does God play dice, that great big casino of quantum physics could have far more rooms than we ever imagined.

New UTI vaccine wards off infection for years, early studies suggestMore than 50% of the patients who used a new mouth-spray-based vaccine didn't have a UTI for up to nine years.

Hundreds of tiny arachnids are likely on your face right nowScientists aren’t sure what microscopic face mites do, but they know where to find them: in the pores and hair follicles of most adult humans’ faces.

New Alloy Shocks Scientists With Its Nearly Impossible Strength and ToughnessResearchers have discovered an extraordinary metal alloy that won’t crack at extreme temperatures due to kinking, or bending, of crystals in the alloy at the atomic level. A metal alloy composed of niobium, tantalum, titanium, and hafnium has shocked materials scientists with its impressive stren

California Now Has So Much Solar Power That Electricity Prices Are Going Negative During The DayIn California, where lots of electricity comes from sunlight, having too much power is a big problem. The Washington Post says that on sunny days, the

Bodies Don't Decompose as Normal in This Colombian Town, And Nobody Knows WhyIn a small town high in the Colombian Andes, Clovisnerys Bejarano kneels before a glass box holding the petrified corpse of her mother, who died 30 years ago, but looks as if she might just be asleep.

European Bison can adapt well to the Mediterranean climate of southern Spain, analysis suggestsA study published in Biodiversity and Conservation which involved the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has conducted a comparative analysis, for the first time, of the feeding of three large herbivores, the European bison (Bison bonasus), the red deer (Cervus elaphus) and the fallow deer (Dama dama), all of which coexist in Mediterranean forests.
