The technology could support advances in high-speed communication systems, sensing tools, biological materials, and medical technologies. Researchers at McGill University have created a new device that produces phonons, which are particles associated with sound, under extremely cold conditions. The work could help pave the way for phonon lasers, a technology with potential uses in communication […]
New Pill Lowers Stubborn Blood Pressure and Protects the Kidneys
A new experimental drug lowered blood pressure and sharply reduced signs of kidney damage in people with chronic kidney disease. Baxdrostat, an investigational pill designed to block production of the hormone aldosterone, showed encouraging results in people facing a difficult and dangerous combination: chronic kidney disease and uncontrolled high blood pressure. In a Phase 2 […]

Humans May Have Hidden Regenerative Powers, New Study Suggests
Researchers have successfully regenerated skeletal and connective tissue, although the new tissue was not perfectly formed. The result demonstrates a critical step forward in limb regeneration. For centuries, scientists have viewed the inability to regrow lost body parts as a major biological limit for humans and other mammals. Salamanders and some other animals can regenerate […]
Your Brain Starts Overloaded Then Cuts Itself Down for Better Memory
Your brain may build memory not by adding connections, but by cutting them away. The hippocampus is one of the brain’s most important regions for memory and navigation. It helps convert short-term experiences into lasting memories, allowing people to learn from and build on past events. Researchers led by Magdalena Walz, Professor for Life Sciences, […]

Scientists Discover Hidden Methane Source Beneath Every Major City
Scientists have discovered that urban sewers may be a surprisingly significant source of methane emissions. Methane ranks behind carbon dioxide as the world’s second most important greenhouse gas. The Climate and Clean Air Coalition estimates that human-caused methane emissions are responsible for nearly 45% of current net warming, making methane a major driver of climate […]
