Researchers report that vagus nerve stimulation helped many people with long-standing, treatment-resistant depression feel better--and stay better--for at least two years. Most participants had lived with depression for decades and had exhausted ...

Scientists have uncovered why people with chronic kidney disease so often die from heart problems: damaged kidneys release tiny particles into the bloodstream that actively poison the heart. These particles, produced only by diseased kidneys, carry . ...

Researchers have identified a key molecular interaction that accelerates Parkinson's disease by damaging the brain's energy systems. They designed a new treatment that intercepts this harmful process, protecting brain cells and restoring their ...

Quantum computers could revolutionize everything from drug discovery to business analytics--but their incredible power also makes them surprisingly vulnerable. New research from Penn State warns that today's quantum machines are not just futuristic . ...

After the Big Bang, the Universe entered a long, dark period before the first stars formed. During this era, hydrogen emitted a faint radio signal that still echoes today. New simulations show this signal could be slightly altered by dark matter, ...

Astronomers have captured the most dramatic view yet of a planet losing its atmosphere, watching the ultra-hot gas giant WASP-121b for an entire orbit with the James Webb Space Telescope. Instead of a single stream of escaping gas, the planet is ...
