FDA Clears First-of-Its-Kind Nonmedication Treatment for PTSD

The FDA has cleared a system that uses brain activity data to personalize magnetic stimulation for PTSD, adding a new nonmedication treatment option. Every day in the United States, approximately 17.5 veterans die by suicide, while 7% of veterans are diagnosed each year with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Against this backdrop, researchers at Texas A&M […]

Quantum Simulators Put a 40-Year-Old Physics Theory to the Test

Physicists used advanced quantum technologies to test predictions from a decades-old theory. At the point where matter changes from one phase to another, very different materials can suddenly begin following the same mathematical rules. Water approaching a boil and a magnet losing its magnetism are familiar examples of phase transitions. “Physicists call this trait universality—the […]

125-Million-Year-Old Crocodile Fossil Reveals Astonishing New Secrets

Ultraviolet imaging of a 125-million-year-old crocodylomorph fossil has revealed unexpectedly detailed traces of skin, sensory structures, and chest cartilage. More than a century after a tiny Early Cretaceous crocodylomorph was unearthed in northeastern Spain, its fossil is revealing details that were hiding in plain sight. Under ultraviolet light, researchers have now detected exceptionally preserved traces […]

Scientists Discover an “Impossible” Way Muscle Filaments Can Grow

Researchers directly observed muscle actin filaments growing from an end long thought unable to support growth, revealing how the protein leiomodin 2 helps maintain their structure. Muscle cells face a peculiar problem. Their actin filaments must remain precisely the right length for muscles to contract properly, yet those same filaments continually age, degrade, and need […]

Bats Have a Secret Immune System Scientists Have Never Seen in Any Other Mammal

Vesper bats possess a second antibody gene system unseen in other known mammals, revealing a new level of immune diversity. Bats can harbor viruses capable of causing severe disease without usually becoming seriously ill themselves, a biological puzzle that has challenged scientists for years. Researchers at Tulane University, working with collaborators at Stanford University and […]

A Star’s Spin Could Solve a Longstanding Black Hole Mystery

A star’s rotation may help solve a longstanding mystery involving repeated encounters between stars and supermassive black holes. At the center of most galaxies sits a supermassive black hole, an object millions to billions of times more massive than the Sun. Its gravity is powerful enough to tear apart a star that ventures too close, […]
