The blood-borne signs of aging – and indeed, perhaps the causes of agiing – make three big shifts around the ages of 34, 60 and 78, a new Stanford-led study has found, potentially leading to new diagnostic tests and avenues of anti-aging research.

A team of Stanford University scientists have captured the first ever recording of a blue whale’s heart rate, and in doing so, have gathered some interesting insights into the massive mammal's behavior and evolution.

Another promising potential treatment for peanut allergies has just emerged via a promising early trial at Stanford University, where scientists found an antibody treatment enabled those with severe allergies to stomach peanuts for some time.

Artificial retinas have the potential to restore some sight to people with certain kinds of blindness, but they contain complex electronics that can overheat. Now a Stanford team has found a way to potentially bypass the issue.

A newly-developed gel could allow forestry workers to keep forest fires from occurring.

Combining a light treatment with cognitive behavior therapy has resulted in a sample of teenagers increasing their total sleep time by 45 minutes a night.

A team of Stanford scientists claim to provide the first direct evidence of a link between adulterated turmeric and lead concentrations in the blood.

A new study shows that disabling a single protein in human cells could render the cold virus ineffective.

A study is offering the first evidence in humans to suggest depletion of gut microbiome diversity by antibiotics can reduce the efficacy of a vaccination.

After studying vintage film of Antarctic radar data, Thwaites Glacier was found to be melting even faster than we thought.

Stanford University engineers have developed an ultra-thin heat shield for electronic devices that measures just 10 atoms thick.

It was just last year that we heard how scientists from Stanford University had designed a skin-worn sensor that measures stress via cortisol levels in the sweat. Now, researchers from that same institute have announced a similar sensor that tracks other vital signs.
