Breakthrough diabetes study could lead to end of regular insulin injections

This could potentially modify the course of diabetes and potentially eliminate the need for round-the-clock insulin injections in some people living with type 1 diabetes.

Scientists discover the first new antibiotics in over 60 years using AI

A new class of antibiotics for drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria which was discovered using more transparent deep learning models.

A Game-Changing Vaccine Could Lower 'Bad' Cholesterol by 30%

High cholesterol is becoming an all-too common health problem. Now a new vaccine currently in development promises to effectively and affordably lower levels of 'bad' cholesterol in the body.

Scientists destroy 99% of cancer cells in lab using 'vibrating molecules'

Scientists in the US have found a way to destroy cancer cells by stimulating molecules with near-infrared light and causing them to vibrate. The researchers found that the method was 99 % effective against melanoma cells.

AI can already diagnose depression better than a doctor

Research suggests AI could diagnose depression from health records or even social media posts. And it could overcome GP bias when it comes to prescribing medications.

Quantum batteries could charge by breaking our understanding of time

Scientists have now demonstrated how weirdness can be harnessed to charge a quantum battery.

Revolutionary blood test could detect suicidal thoughts

U.S researchers have made a landmark discovery in the field of mental health, potentially leading to a blood test capable of detecting suicidal thoughts in individuals with major depressive disorder.

Ancient Mesopotamian Bricks Captured a Blip in Earth's Magnetic Field

Made some 3,000 years ago, the Mesopotamian bricks contain grains of iron oxide that, to the right interpreter, reveal fascinating changes in the magnetic field that runs through and envelops Earth in a protective barrier.

Physicist Discovers 'Paradox-Free' Time Travel Is Theoretically Possible

A few years ago physics student Germain Tobar, from the University of Queensland in Australia, worked out how to "square the numbers" to make time travel viable without the paradoxes.

Long dormant volcanoes are capable of explosive eruptions

A study conducted by Hungarian scientists sheds light on the unpredictability and potential dangers of long dormant volcanoes. 

A hallmark quantum behavior in bouncing droplets

In a study that could help fill some holes in quantum theory, the U.S. team recreated a "quantum bomb tester" in a classical droplet test.

'Time Cells' in Human Brain Encode The Flow of Time

Research suggests that 'time cells' – neurons in the hippocampus thought to represent temporal information – could be the glue that sticks our memories together in the right sequence so that we can properly recall the correct order in which things happened.

Physicists "entangle" individual molecules for the first time

In a noteworthy first, a team of Princeton physicists has been able to link together individual molecules into special states that are quantum mechanically “entangled.” 

Antibody Therapy Controls 92% of Severe Asthma Cases

Safer relief for people suffering from severe asthma is a step closer with a large clinical trial finding a monocolonal antibody treatment called benralizumab can radically reduce the need for more dangerous high-dose steroid treatments.

A New Way Our DNA Can Make Novel Genes From Scratch

Researchers from Finland's University of Helsinki found that certain single mutations produce palindromes, which read the same backward and forward. Under the right circumstances, these can evolve into microRNA (miRNA) genes.
