A major trial found that implantable cardioverter-defibrillators may benefit some patients younger than 70 with mild-to-moderate heart dysfunction and cardiac scarring. A more than decade-long randomized trial suggests that implantable cardioverter-defibrillators may benefit some patients who have heart scarring and only mild-to-moderate loss of heart function, a group that currently falls outside standard treatment guidelines. […]

Cluster headache causes extreme pain, but its origins remain unclear. New research links the disorder to genetics, inflammation, and tobacco smoke exposure. Unlike an ordinary headache, a cluster attack typically erupts without warning and causes excruciating pain around one eye. Episodes can last from 15 minutes to three hours and often return at similar times […]

Depression in later life may be an early warning from the brain, appearing years before Alzheimer’s begins to affect memory and thinking A new study in JNeurosci found that faster accumulation of tau, a protein closely tied to Alzheimer’s, was associated with worsening depressive symptoms in older adults who remained cognitively healthy.

A new theoretical approach helps connect quantum physics with classical thermodynamics by clarifying what counts as heat and useful work in tiny quantum machines. When a machine is reduced to a single atom and particles of light, even basic concepts such as heat and useful work become difficult to define. This problem sits at the […]

An analysis of 75 meteorite falls identified seven distinct processes that occur as space rocks melt, break apart, and slow down before reaching the ground. A space rock entering Earth’s atmosphere does far more than simply “burn up.” By examining 75 meteorite falls recorded in videos and photographs, researchers identified seven distinct stages that shape […]

The Galápagos snapdragon, once close to disappearing, is showing encouraging signs of recovery through a long-term partnership between the Charles Darwin Foundation and the Galápagos National Park Directorate. For decades, the Galápagos snapdragon was known from little more than a specimen pressed into an herbarium collection. It had been gathered near Caleta Tagus in 1962, […]
