Researchers have developed an ultrafast-acting form of insulin that promises to work up to four times faster than current formulations. The novel drug has only been tested in animals so far but the researchers hope to test it in human trials soon.

A new type of data storage system could be denser, smaller, faster and more energy efficient than silicon chips. The new method involves encoding data in sliding stacks of two-dimensional layers of metals.

One of the reasons that we're still not seeing delivery drones in common use is their limited battery range. According to a new study, though, that range could be extended if they hitched rides on top of buses.

Scientists have successfully bridged the gap between organic and artificial. A team has created biohybrid synapses that let living cells communicate with electronic systems, not with electrical signals but with neurotransmitters like dopamine.

Back in 2015 scientists published a paper outlining what they perceived as a sixth mass extinction event. Researchers have now provided an update in the form of a new study that has found the rate of extinctions is increasing at an unprecedented rate.

A study from Stanford University has delivered the most thorough investigation into a human body’s molecular response to exercise ever conducted. The research points to a future blood test that could objectively measure a person’s general fitness.

Researchers have developed a novel technique that combines two diabetes drugs into a single injection. Previously these compounds required separate injections, creating a barrier for treatment that led to few diabetics embracing the novel therapy.

With any electric vehicle, you're going to spend some time parked up and plugged in. Being able to roll along the highway with the batteries charging as go would be much better, and a new development out of Stanford could see that happening.

Known as tsunami mitigation parks, hilly stretches of coastline covered in plant-life can stem the flow of a giant crashing wave, and a new study suggests they can help preserve key industries like fishing and tourism at the same time.

A new study led by researchers from the Stanford School of Medicine suggests low levels of a hormone called vasopressin, measured in three-month-old babies, may serve as a predictive biomarker of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in later childhood.

Adding to our pool of knowledge around exercise and aging is a team of medical scientists at Stanford University, which has demonstrated how regular exercise can breathe new life into the stem cells responsible for muscle repair in old mice.

Stanford researchers optimized an FDA-approved form of non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation to better treat treatment-resistant depression. A preliminary study achieved a 90-percent remission rate, with larger trials underway.
