New drug delivery method promises long-lasting glaucoma reliefResearchers at the University of Toronto see a future where a single injection under the eyelid could replace months of daily eye drops to treat glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness.

Ketamine research may lead to safer treatments for depression, anxiety and other mental health conditionsKetamine has received a Hollywood makeover. It used to be known as a rave drug (street name special K) and cat anesthetic. However, in recent years, some doctors have prescribed ketamine to treat conditions from post-traumatic stress disorder to depression. "The practice is not without controversy," notes Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor Hiro Furukawa.

AI model generates antimicrobial peptide structures for screening against treatment-resistant microbesA team of microbiologists, chemists and pharmaceutical specialists at Shandong University, Guangzhou Medical University, Second Military Medical University and Qingdao University, all in China, has developed an AI model that generates antimicrobial peptide structures for screening against treatment-resistant microbes.

Eat the Rich is impractical

An ancient tree revealed the tale of Earth's magnetic field reversalA perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the story of temporary environmental chaos, potentially influencing everything from an increase in cave…

Labord's chameleon: The color-changing lizard that drops dead in 4 monthsLabord's chameleons are only found in Western Madagascar and have developed a live fast die young life cycle to cope with the extreme environmental conditions.

A dramatic total lunar eclipse is coming. You don't want to miss it."It's worth staying up late for."

Atmospheric rivers explain atypical El Niño and La Niña yearsEl Niño and La Niña are climate phenomena that are generally associated with wetter and drier winter conditions in the Southwestern United States, respectively. In 2023, however, a La Niña year proved extremely wet in the Southwest instead of dry.

Climate Change Is Coming For Your Chocolate, Study FindsClimate change drove weeks of crop-withering temperatures last year in the West African countries that underpin the world's chocolate supply, hitting harvests and likely further stoking record prices, researchers said Wednesday.

Inconsistent reporting by companies leads to underestimation of methane's climate impact, study findsCompanies around the world are underestimating their total greenhouse gas footprints because of inconsistent accounting standards for methane emissions, finds a new study by researchers from UCL and Imperial College London.

Huge Study Shows Where Gout Comes From – It's Not What We ThoughtGout is often associated with drinking too much or not eating healthily enough, but research suggests genetics play more of a factor in developing the arthritic condition than previously thought.

Biological aging may not be driven by what we thoughtA new study draws a line between random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic changes used to measure biological aging.

"Dessert stomach" finally found in the brainYou lean back from the dinner table, feeling like you physically couldn’t fit another bite in – but then someone offers pie and you just can’t say no. Scientists have now identified the neurons behind the “dessert stomach” phenomenon.

The Dell Inspiron 15 laptop is even more affordable now — down to $250The Dell Inspiron 15 is an affordable laptop with the AMD Ryzen 3 7320U processor and 8GB of RAM, but its price is even lower right now after a $130 discount.

Maternal acetaminophen (paracetamol) use may alter placental gene expression, raising ADHD risk in childrenMaternal acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy is associated with a higher likelihood of childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a study led by the University of Washington.

Hyrdogel soaks up cosmic rays to protect space travelersHydrogel is something that most of us are familiar with from it being used in contact lenses, burn dressings, and hair gel. In future, it might also be used to shield astronauts from the hazard of deadly cosmic radiation on long space voyages.

In emergency decision, James Webb telescope will study 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 before its close approach to EarthIn a rare "time-critical" decision, the James Webb Space Telescope will study the true size of the "potentially hazardous" asteroid 2024 YR4 twice over the next few months. The asteroid has a roughly 2.3% chance of impacting Earth in 2032.

China Sets Up 'Planetary Defense' Unit Over 2032 Asteroid ThreatChina started a “planetary defense” initiative because asteroid 2024 YR4 presents a 2.2% threat of hitting Earth during 2032. The South Ch
