Creatine is best known as a muscle-building supplement, but scientists are now investigating whether it could also help treat depression by boosting the brain's energy supply。 A new review examined five randomized clinical trials involving 238 participants and found mixed results。 Two studies, both involving women with major depressive disorder, re
Researchers have identified a previously overlooked mechanism of brain cell death that appears to play a major role in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia。 The finding could lead to new treatments aimed at slowing neuron loss by interrupting the process before cells are destroyed
A major breakthrough in quantum technology has turned magnons, tiny magnetic waves once considered too short-lived for practical use, into promising carriers of quantum information。 Researchers extended their lifetime by nearly 100 times, reaching up to 18 microseconds, and discovered that the main limitation is not a law of physics but the purity
Vitamin B12 is needed in microscopic amounts, but a shortage can have major effects on health and energy。 The vitamin was first linked to a lifesaving liver treatment for pernicious anemia nearly 100 years ago。 Today, researchers are finding that B12 may also help keep cellular powerhouses called mitochondria functioning properly
A new study found that not all geoengineering ideas are created equal。 Brightening marine clouds over the eastern Pacific could dramatically weaken the El Niño cycle, triggering major changes to global weather patterns, while stratospheric aerosol injection left the system largely unchanged。 Researchers say the results are a reminder that efforts t
DNA from a 5,000-year-old French megalithic tomb reveals that the people buried before and after a population collapse were genetically unrelated, pointing to a major migration after a devastating crisis。 The shift coincided with new social traditions and the disappearance of the communities that built Europe's giant stone monuments
A Press Association investigation found major retailers advertising e-scooters for "commuting" and "urban riding"
The race to build data centers in space is gaining momentum as AI drives unprecedented demand for computing power。 Orbital facilities could tap into abundant solar energy and avoid many of the environmental challenges faced on Earth。 Yet space remains a harsh and expensive place to operate, with major hurdles including cooling, maintenance, radiati
Scientists have uncovered new evidence that fireworks can pollute both the air and water in ways that extend beyond the visible smoke。 The findings show that leftover debris, fine particles, and airborne chemicals may affect ecosystems and increase people's exposure to air pollution during major celebrations
Engineers at a deep underground research facility noticed something strange during major rainstorms: airflow underground sometimes reversed direction。 Using new sensors and mathematical modeling, they found that water rushing down a shaft was effectively pushing air through the tunnels like a giant piston。 The breakthrough explains a long-standing
A pioneering climate scientist is challenging a U。 government report that cited his research while reaching what he says is the exact opposite conclusion。 Benjamin Santer and his colleagues say decades of satellite data clearly reveal the atmospheric “fingerprint” of human-caused climate change
