Virologist Beata Halassy says self-treatment worked and was a positive experience — but researchers warn that it is not something others should try.

A 100+ page detailed analysis on 18 LLMs for embodied decision making.

New research into a chemical from a caterpillar fungus, known for its potential as a cancer treatment, has shown how it interacts with genes to disrupt cell growth signals. This finding marks a promising step toward developing new cancer drugs.

The chemical, called cordycepin, interrupts overactive cell growth signals common in cancer, potentially offering a treatment approach that could be gentler on healthy tissues compared to many existing therapies.

A study in Pharmacological Research has found that small extracellular vesicles derived from embryonic stem cells (ESC-sEVs) alleviate osteoarthritis in cells and mice. Restoring senescent cells’ function Excessive […].

The treatment, given to four people with damaged corneas, seems safe but needs to be tested in larger trials.

Scientists have finally proven the existence of “supersolids,” a bizarre state of matter that behaves like both a liquid and a solid.

In a breakthrough, scientists confirmed superfluid properties in supersolids by observing quantized vortices. Using precision techniques, the team stirred a rotating supersolid, revealing unique vortex dynamics and offering new insights into the coexistence of solid and fluid characteristics. This discovery paves the way for studying exotic quantum matter and has implications for astrophysical phenomena.

Supersolids: A Quantum Paradox

Matter that behaves like both a solid and a superfluid at the same time might sound impossible. But more than 50 years ago, physicists predicted that quantum mechanics could allow such a state. In this unique state, collections of particles exhibit properties that seem contradictory. Francesca Ferlaino from the Department of Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck and the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences explains, “It is a bit like Schrödinger’s cat, which is both alive and dead, a supersolid is both rigid and liquid.”
