Excessive levels of GABA released by astrocytes impair the brain’s ability to extinguish fear responses in PTSD, but a newly identified drug target offers promising hope for treatment. Many people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) continue to relive painful memories long after the actual threat is gone. Their brains seem unable to let go of […]

New research from Edith Cowan University has found that just one session of exercise, either resistance or high-intensity interval training, can trigger anti-cancer effects in breast cancer survivors. New findings from Edith Cowan University (ECU) suggest that just one session of resistance training or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) may support the body’s ability to fight […]

Scientists have pioneered a water- and light-driven method for converting propane at near-room temperature, opening the door to sustainable, low-energy catalysis. Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is a chemical process that requires a large input of heat, typically needing temperatures above 600°C when carried out using traditional thermo-catalytic methods. These high temperatures pose several issues, including high […]

USC biomedical engineers have developed a novel, ocean-safe biocompatible material that eliminates the risk of microplastic pollution. Plastic pollution continues to pose a major threat to marine ecosystems, with UNESCO reporting that it accounts for 80 percent of all ocean pollution. Each year, an estimated 8 to 10 million metric tons of plastic end up […]

A dazzling new Hubble image reveals the spiral galaxy NGC 1309, nestled 100 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. With swirling blue stars, dust lanes, and hundreds of background galaxies, this cosmic scene is not just beautiful—it’s also scientifically significant. A Galaxy 100 Million Light-Years Away The spiral galaxy NGC 1309 is captured in […]
