Toward more efficient computing, with magnetic waves

Researchers have devised a novel circuit design that enables precise control of computing with magnetic waves — with no electricity needed. The advance takes a step toward practical magnetic-based devices, which have the potential to compute far more efficiently than electronics. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.

Placenta changes could mean male offspring of older moms more likely to develop heart problems

Changes occur in the placenta in older pregnant mothers leading to a greater likelihood of poor health in their male offspring, a study in rats has shown. Both male and female fetuses do not grow as large in older mothers, but there are sex-specific differences in changes to placental development and function. These are likely…

Three anti-seizure drugs equally effective for severe form of epilepsy

There are three treatment options commonly used by doctors in the emergency room to treat patients with refractory status epilepticus, severe seizures that continue even after benzodiazepine medications, which are effective in controlling seizures in more than two-thirds of patients. New findings reveal that the three drugs, levetiracetam, fosphenytoin, and valproate, are equally safe and…

Prostate cancer ‘super responders’ live for 2 years on immunotherapy

Some men with advanced prostate cancer who have exhausted all other treatment options could live for two years or more on immunotherapy, a major clinical trial has shown. Researchers found that a small proportion of men were ‘super responders’ and were alive and well even after the trial had ended despite having had a very…

Why do we freeze when startled? New study in flies points to serotonin

A study in fruit flies has identified serotonin as a chemical that triggers the body’s startle response, the automatic deer-in-the-headlights reflex that freezes the body momentarily in response to a potential threat. Today’s study reveals that when a fly experiences an unexpected change to its surroundings, such as a sudden vibration, release of serotonin helps…

New high-resolution images show how malaria parasites evade frontline drugs
