A rare childhood disease with no approved treatment may have an unexpected new therapeutic candidate. Sildenafil, the active ingredient also sold under the brand name Viagra, may help reduce symptoms in people with Leigh syndrome. Researchers report this finding in the journal Cell. The study was led by scientists at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin in […]

First-of-Its-Kind Study Finds Drug Reduces Excessive Sleepiness in Early-Morning Workers
A clinical trial suggests that a wake-promoting drug may help early-morning shift workers overcome the biological challenges of working during hours when the brain expects sleep. Before sunrise, millions of people are already at work. For many of them, the biggest challenge is not motivation. It is biology. Early morning shifts are more common than […]
An Unexpected Planetary Neighbor May Play a Surprising Role in Earth’s Climate Cycles
A seemingly small planetary neighbor may play a larger role in Earth’s climate than previously thought. Mars is only about half the size of Earth and has roughly one tenth of its mass, making it relatively small compared with many planets. Despite this, new research shows that the red planet subtly influences Earth’s orbit and […]

“We Found Something Never Seen Before” – Mysterious Shock Wave Around Dead Star Surprises Astronomers
A mysterious bow shock around the white dwarf RXJ0528+2838 is challenging astronomers’ understanding of how dead stars interact with their surroundings. Gas and dust streaming away from stars can sometimes collide with surrounding material and produce shock waves. Astronomers using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) have now captured an especially striking […]
Scientists Unveil Cheaper and Faster Way To Extract Lithium From Massive Untouched Reserves
A new solvent-based technique could change how lithium is extracted from brines, potentially making the process faster, cheaper, and viable in places where conventional methods fail. Few elements are as key to the clean energy transition as lithium, and global demand for it is soaring. The metal powers the rechargeable batteries inside electric vehicles and […]
