Tiny Doses of LSD Boost Unique Signals in The Human Brain

Even small doses of LSD could have therapeutic benefits for mental health and task performance, a new study shows.

California Man Free of HIV And Cancer in Astonishing Medical Recovery

The patient is now considered in remission from acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and in another two years, he could be considered 'cured' of HIV, as that will mark five years from his last treatment.

Ultrasound aimed at the brain can relieve pain

Narrowly focused soundwaves aimed at an area of the brain called the insula reduced both the perception of pain and the body’s reaction to it, according to a new study.

New form of magnetism discovered in common materials

Scientists have confirmed the existence of a strange new form of magnetism. Hiding right under our noses, the team says that “altermagnetism” can be found in everyday materials and could have major technological uses.

Space Could Pose an Unexpected Threat to Our Gut Microbiome

It is clear that going to space exploration will not be reserved for astronauts and government space agencies for much longer. But before the 'Great Migration' can begin, there are a lot of questions that need to be addressed. 

US FDA approves first treatment for severe frostbite

The treatment, which will help reduce the risk of amputation, will be sold under the brand name Aurlumyn and is expected to be available in Spring 2024.

Physics - Five New Isotopes Is Just the Beginning

Less than a year after its opening, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams produced five never-before-seen isotopes for observation, a success that researchers say highlights the discovery potential of the facility.

Human cells building 'molecular highways' captured for first time

Spanish Researchers have captured the world's first high-resolution images of the earliest moments of microtubule formation inside human cells.

Herpes Virus Doubles Risk Of Dementia

Older adults are twice as likely to develop dementia if they’ve been infected with the herpes simplex virus, a new 15-year study concludes.

Ancient viruses helped shape our bodies, brain millions of years ago

Millions of years ago, vertebrates were infected by a virus, which played an important role in the evolution of human beings and the development of brains and human bodies.

Scientists Slowed Down Light by 10,000 Times in an Experiment

Scientists have previously established that light can be slowed down in certain scenarios, and a new study demonstrates a method for achieving it that promises to be one of the most useful approaches yet.

Pacific plate is scored by large undersea faults that are pulling it apart

A team of geoscientists from the University of Toronto is shedding new light on the century-old model of plate tectonics, which suggests the plates covering the ocean floors are rigid as they move across the Earth.

Spiral-shaped lens ould revolutionize ophthalmology

Researchers have developed a spiral-shaped lens that maintains clear focus at different distances in varying light conditions. The tech could be applied to a range of miniaturized imaging systems.

15,000-year-old viruses discovered in Tibetan glacier ice

Scientists who study glacier ice have found viruses nearly 15,000 years old in ice samples from the Tibetan Plateau in China. Most of those viruses are unlike any viruses that have been cataloged to date.

Physicists Unlock Quantum Immortality With Revolutionary Time Crystal

Researchers have successfully extended the lifespan of time crystals, confirming a theoretical concept proposed by Frank Wilczek. This marks a significant step forward in quantum physics.
