Scientists Reveal the Climate “Perfect Storm” Behind an Ancient Civilizational Collapse

Overlapping climate cycles may have intensified the droughts surrounding the Late Bronze Age collapse. Around 3,200 years ago, societies across the Eastern Mediterranean faced drought severe enough to strain water supplies, agriculture, and food security. Research from Stockholm University, published in Science Advances, suggests these extreme conditions developed not from one isolated event, but when […]

Archaeology Students Discover Rare 400-Year-Old Intact Pot

A rare intact pot is helping archaeologists reconstruct life and cultural exchange at Mission San Francisco de Potano. Four centuries after someone shaped a small clay vessel by hand, University of Florida students lifted it from the soil completely intact. The pot, likely made by a member of the Indigenous Potano-Timucua tribe, is compact enough […]

New Strategy Shows Promise Against the Deadliest Brain Cancer

Focused ultrasound helped deliver microRNAs that targeted multiple glioblastoma genes and improved outcomes in animal models. A treatment aimed at glioblastoma must first cross one of the body’s most selective defenses: the blood-brain barrier. Researchers at the University of Virginia Comprehensive Cancer Center are testing a way to briefly open that barrier and deliver genetic […]

Hair Loss May Be an Overlooked Side Effect of Ozempic and Mounjaro

Widely used GLP-1 drugs, including Ozempic and Mounjaro, may carry an unexpected downside: a small but measurable increase in hair loss. A large study of adults with type 2 diabetes found that people taking the medications were more likely to develop alopecia than those using two other classes of diabetes drugs. The findings, published in […]

Nanoreactor Mimics Living Cells To Supercharge Artificial Photosynthesis

A biomimetic nanoreactor combines cellular design principles to produce hydrogen peroxide efficiently under visible light. Inside a hollow nanoscale structure, researchers have recreated two strategies that living cells use to control chemical reactions. The resulting CdS@polydopamine nanoreactor offers a synthetic way to reproduce some of the organization and efficiency found in biological systems. The work […]
