Satellite measurements of Nicaragua’s Masaya volcano suggest magma is entering one reservoir as another drains, offering clues that could improve monitoring for future hazards. Visitors come to Nicaragua’s Masaya volcano to look into its lava lake, while roughly 2 million people live within 13 miles (21 kilometers) of the active volcano. The molten rock exposed […]
A Hidden Molecular Switch Could Change How We Treat Aggressive Prostate Cancer
A protein-building molecule helped switch resistant prostate tumors back into a drug-sensitive state in experimental models, offering a potential target for future treatments. Many treatments for prostate cancer, one of the most common cancers in men, target a protein called the androgen receptor, which fuels tumor growth. Tumors can escape that approach by becoming less […]

Scientists Discover Aspirin May Slash Dementia Risk by 70% – but Only for Certain People
Aspirin was linked to a sharply lower dementia risk in some older adults, and their genes may hold the clue. A Monash University analysis found that older adults with a particular genetic profile had about a 70 percent lower relative risk of dementia when taking low-dose aspirin. But serious bleeding was also more common in […]
Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power
Reusable for up to 25 different calculations, a DNA computer points toward possible uses in energy-efficient computing and long-term data storage. A DNA computer has added 10 and 3 in 30 seconds, using interacting strands in water instead of a silicon chip. Developed by researchers at Maynooth University (MU), the system can also multiply and […]

Scientists Just Discovered a Major Problem With Lab-Grown Human Embryo Models
A map built from more than 14,000 embryo cells reveals what stem cell models get right about early human development and where researchers could improve them. Under a microscope, a cluster grown from stem cells can resemble a human embryo in its first days of development. These structures, called blastoids, offer scientists a way to […]
Scientists Discover a Surprising Link Between Obesity and Dementia Survival
A large study found that people who are overweight or obese when diagnosed with dementia have a significantly lower risk of death than those at a normal weight. A higher body weight at the time of a dementia diagnosis may be linked to longer survival, according to a large study of older Americans. Researchers found […]
