A dramatic surge in kratom-related poison center calls is raising alarm among health experts, as new data shows cases have jumped more than 1,200% over the past decade. Alongside the spike, hospitalizations and deaths li...

A new study suggests that simplifying your diet by eating the same meals and keeping your calorie intake consistent could help you lose more weight. Researchers found that people who followed predictable eating routines ...

The genetically engineered cells can be rewired to tackle a range of bacteria in the battle against antibiotic resistance. The post Forget Antibiotics: These Killer Cells Wipe Out Deadly Superbugs in a Day appeared first...

Around 14 new rock-art depictions of thylacines, also known as Tasmanian tigers, have been found in northern Australia.

Deep sleep does far more than rest the body - it activates a powerful brain-driven system that controls growth hormone, fueling muscle and bone strength, metabolism, and even mental performance. Scientists have now mappe...

NASA has given the 10-day Artemis II mission the green light after its flight readiness review, and the weather outlook remains favorable.

Does an irregular sleep schedule cause heart disease? New research links inconsistent bedtimes to a 2x higher risk of cardiovascular events. Discover why your "bedtime window" is a key predictor of heart health.

Researchers showed that "exosomes" from pig semen may be used in a potential new treatment for retinoblastoma.

A new study reveals that 40% of bullied elementary students suffer from clinical trauma symptoms. The research highlights the devastating impact of "invisible" bullying, such as social exclusion and early-onset c...

Researchers developed a lateral ventricular BCI (LV-BCI) that records brain activity from deep within fluid-filled cavities. The expandable "lantern" electrode offers superior long-term stability and 98% accuracy...

In physics, some waves behave in a surprising way: instead of spreading out and fading, they hold their shape as they travel at constant speeds. These unusual waves, called solitons, have interested scientists since they...

Even if the conflict in the Middle East ends today, higher fuel, fertiliser and pesticide prices will lead to a food shock in the coming months. There is no easy way out, but accelerating the net-zero transition will hel...

A research team led by Professor Jiwoong Yang of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has developed next-generation optical sensor technology capable of precisely detecting not only the intensity and...

Researchers used targeted ultrasound to dampen the amygdala, slowing fear formation and speeding up "unlearning." This non-invasive method could revolutionize exposure therapy for PTSD and anxiety.

Cognitive decline, mental health and heart disease are all shaped by the deep links between heart and brain - with major implications for diagnoses and treatment

Scientists in the Riccio College of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of California Santa Barbara have demonstrated key laser and ion trap components necessary to help drastically ...

Researchers screened 2,700 compounds on 20,000 human retinal organoids to find a way to stop cone cell death. They discovered that inhibiting casein kinase 1 can protect central vision from macular degeneration.

Scientists have developed a new optogenetic tool to control specific long-range connections in the primate brain. This allows for the precise activation or silencing of communication pathways involved in complex behavior...

Quantum physicists at ANU have observed atoms entangled in motion. "It's really weird for us to think that this is how the universe works," says Dr. Sean Hodgman from the ANU Research School of Physics. "...

Researchers have identified the NOX-1 enzyme as the reason ketamine's antidepressant effects are short-lived. By blocking NOX-1, they extended the drug's benefits from days to weeks.

NASA's Artemis II crew is ready to fly around the moon, with promising weather forecasts for a Wednesday launch.

When lasers were invented in the 1960s, they opened new avenues for scientific discovery and everyday applications, from scanners at the grocery store to corrective eye surgery. Conventional lasers control photons-indivi...
