The Trump administration’s recent executive orders have sent shockwaves through the international public health community, leaving healthcare workers scrambling and aid programs in peril. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has been put on hold, and the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has suffered significant disruptions. The funding pause is set to…
Researchers at the University of California Davis and Stanford University have made a groundbreaking discovery that could potentially store up to half of the CO2 generated by humans each year. By replacing conventional building materials with alternatives that sequester carbon dioxide, the world could lock away up to 16 billion tonnes of CO2. This innovative…
Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of anti-aging, successfully reversing the aging process in mice by injecting them with an RNA molecule. The treatment targets cellular senescence, a hallmark of aging, and has shown promising results in restoring the mice’s physical and mental abilities. This breakthrough could potentially lead to the development…
Scientists warn that the devastating wildfires in southern California are a harbinger of a new era of urban firestorms, fueled by climate change and population growth. These blazes are fundamentally different from wildland fires, as they involve buildings becoming fuel, driving the spread of flames in densely populated areas. Researchers are racing to understand the…
The biotech sector has shown remarkable resilience in 2024, with several companies recording spectacular stock performance.

Researchers at the University of Calgary have discovered mysterious ribbons of grayish white woven through the northern lights, which are not auroras themselves but may arise through a similar process to the one underlying the mauve light streak known as STEVE. The team found 30 white-laced auroras over Rabbit Lake and Lucky Lake in Saskatchewan…
UnitedHealth has confirmed that the ransomware attack on its Change Healthcare unit last February affected around 190 million people in America, nearly double previous estimates. The breach, attributed to the ALPHV ransomware gang, resulted in the theft of massive quantities of health and insurance-related information, including names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses,…
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs). By analyzing the FRB 20221022A, they have found evidence that at least one of these cosmic phenomena originated from a region very close to the object that emitted it, challenging existing models of…
