Spinogenix, the company behind the once-a-day pill that restored lost nerve cell connections in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), has now set its sights on using the pill to provide a novel treatment for another debilitating disease: sch… Continue reading Synapse-restoring pill set for human trials as novel schizophrenia treatment
An innovative hybrid solar device that combines a PV panel and energy storage has achieved record levels of energy storage efficiency for such a device. And unlike conventional batteries, the molecular solar thermal energy storage (MOST) device doesn’t… Continue reading Innovative solar cell is its own battery
A newly discovered cell that matures into two specialist cell types – an immune cell responsible for tissue repair and a cell that forms blood vessels – significantly boosts wound healing, according to new research. It could be a game-changer for peopl… Continue reading Discovery of new type of cell with potential to boost tissue repair
Placing defibrillator pads on the chest and back, rather than the usual method of putting two on the chest, increases the odds of surviving an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by more than two-and-a-half times, according to a new study.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading New defib placement more than doubles odds of surviving cardiac arrest
Gut bacteria that have been disrupted in infancy can lead to greater aggression later in life, including causing changes to aggression-related genes, according to a new study. The findings warrant more research into the complex interplay between the gu… Continue reading Gut microbiome disruptions in infancy increase aggression later in life
After comparing the long-term effects of the psychedelic psilocybin and a commonly prescribed antidepressant, new research found that both significantly reduced depression. However, psilocybin provided something more: a significant boost to quality of … Continue reading Psilocybin equal to SSRI for depression, but better for overall well-being
Scientists have stored the entire human genome on a five-dimensional crystal that’s capable of digitally storing up to 360 terabytes of information and is built to survive for billions of years. The tech could be used to create an enduring record of hu… Continue reading 5D ‘eternity crystal’ stores 360 TB of data for billions of years
Treating life-threatening bloodstream infections in combat situations is challenging, especially when the pathogen responsible is unknown. So, DARPA has called on Harvard’s Wyss Institute to use its groundbreaking biotech to fight this deadly threat.Co… Continue reading DARPA enlists Harvard tech to fight deadly blood infections in the field
Inspired by the color-changing skin of squids and other cephalopods, researchers have developed a flexible screen capable of storing and displaying encrypted images without using electronics – just tiny magnetic particles.Continue ReadingCategory: Tech… Continue reading Squid-skin-inspired screen displays encrypted images using only magnets
A new study has challenged the long-held assumption that autistic people are emotionally stunted, finding that, in fact, people with autism experience complex emotions. It’s hoped these findings will lead to better therapy strategies for neurodivergent… Continue reading What if everything we know about autism is wrong?
