Scientists are uncovering the powerful role hormones play in skin aging, revealing new potential treatments for wrinkles, hair graying, and overall skin health.
While traditional anti-aging hormones like retinoids and estrogen have been widely used, new research highlights a broader range of hormones that influence skin structure, pigment, and resilience.

New findings cast light on the role of understudied DN3 memory B cells in cancer, and shows these cells correlate with progression and poor clinical outcomes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.

Tumor-associated extrafollicular B cells are phenotypically, locationally, and functionally distinct from germinal center–dependent memory B cells.
Bread is full of carbon, which just so happens to be a pretty good conductor when properly processed.
The year one hundred two thousand twenty-three. A giant meteorite the size of Pluto is approaching the Solar System. It flies straight to Earth. But as the meteorite crosses Saturn’s orbit, a swarm of miner probes approaches it. The scan revealed no minerals on the object, so the searches returned with nothing.
Meanwhile, the Space Security Center in Alaska military personnel are setting up a laser. The Solar System witnesses a sudden flare and nothing remains of the dwarf-sized meteorite. Now, unless hydrogen miners on Jupiter post videos of another annihilation on social media… This is what the world will look like when humanity finally becomes a Type Two civilization on the Kardashev scale. We’ll have almost infinite energy reserves, the ability to prepare for interstellar flights, or to instantly destroy any threat. But will humanity really be safe? And what can ruin a Type Two civilization?

An AI-powered tool called MELD Graph is revolutionizing epilepsy care by detecting subtle brain abnormalities that radiologists often miss.
By analyzing global MRI data, the tool improves diagnosis speed, increases access to surgical treatment, and cuts healthcare costs. Though not yet in clinical use, it is already helping doctors identify operable lesions, offering hope to epilepsy patients worldwide.

There’s an arms race in medicine—scientists design drugs to treat lethal bacterial infections, but bacteria can evolve defenses to those drugs, sending the researchers back to square one. In an article published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, a University of California, Irvine-led team describes the development of a drug candidate that can stop bacteria before they have a chance to cause harm.
“The issue with antibiotics is this crisis of antibiotic resistance,” said Sophia Padilla, a Ph.D. candidate in chemistry and lead author of the new study. “When it comes to antibiotics, bacteria can evolve defenses against them—they’re becoming stronger and always getting better at protecting themselves.”
About 35,000 people in the U.S. die each year from antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections from pathogens like Staphylococcus, while about 2.8 million people suffer from bacteria-related illnesses.
Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost spacecraft took some unique photos of our home planet on its Mission 1 flight to the moon in late January and early February. The spacecraft is now in orbit around the moon, with a planned landing date of March 2.
Scientists have taken a huge step forward in perfecting the method to synthesize lonsdaleite.
Scientists at Penn State have harnessed a unique property called incipient ferroelectricity to create a new type of computer memory that could revolutionize how electronic devices work, such as using much less energy and operating in extreme environments like outer space.
They published their work, which focuses on multifunctional two-dimensional field-effect transistors (FETs), in Nature Communications. FETs are advanced electronic devices that use ultra-thin layers of materials to control electrical signals, offering multiple functions like switching, sensing or memory in a compact form.
They are ferroelectric-like, meaning the direction of their electric conduction can be reversed when an external electric field is applied to the system. FETs are essential in computing, since the ferroelectric-like property allows them to shift signals.
