“In most scenarios, AI will likely worsen overall inequality,” said IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva.
Have you ever wondered why SSRIs take time to show effects? A new study has delved into why antidepressants like SSRIs take weeks to start working and how this may impact mental health care.
SSRIs, or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, belong to a category of antidepressant drugs designed to elevate serotonin levels in the brain. Notable examples of SSRIs include fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), and escitalopram (Lexapro).

HaptX’s new technology uses tactile and force feedback to allow people to ‘feel’ virtual objects with high fidelity.
In a new Review Article, Dr. Zoltan Arany discusses the epidemiology and clinical presentation of peripartum cardiomyopathy, as well as the mechanistic basis for potential therapeutics.
A recent neuroimaging study shows psilocybin, found in magic mushrooms, significantly alters brain connectivity in alcohol-dependent rats. This mirrors effects seen in humans, offering new avenues for researching the therapeutic impact of psychedelics.
Scientists have unveiled a roadmap for bringing perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells to market, paving the way for a future powered by abundant, inexpensive clean energy in Saudi Arabia and the world.
The authors of the article, published in Science, include Prof. Stefaan De Wolf and his research team at King Abdullah University of Science (KAUST) and Technology Solar Center. The team is working on improving solar efficiency to meet Saudi Arabia’ solar targets.
Perovskite/silicon tandem technology combines the strengths of two materials— perovskite’s efficient light absorption and silicon’s long-term stability—to achieve record-breaking efficiency. In 2023, the De Wolf laboratory reported two world records for power conversion efficiency, with five achieved globally in the same year, showing rapid progress in perovskite/silicon tandem technology.
Every time a cancer cell divides, it sustains damage to its own DNA molecules. Researchers, including Gaorav Gupta, MD, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the UNC School of Medicine, have long wondered how cancers are able to evade detection by the body’s own defenses, despite the immune system being on constant watch for cells displaying DNA damage.
As the Post Office debacle has amply demonstrated, putting blind faith into a new form of technology can be perilous.
