If you're having trouble shaking your cravings for doughnuts, hamburgers and pizza, the key to curbing them could come from a new appetite-suppressing supplement based on a compound released by gut bacteria.

Gravimeters measure tiny changes in the Earth's gravitational fields, and are useful in fields such as oil exploration. Now, using smartphone tech, scientists have made one that's smaller and cheaper than anything that has come before.

A team of researchers in the UK has found that a group of drugs currently used to treat conditions such as depression might also prove an effective means of combating emerging viruses.

​A team of University of Glasgow researchers has worked to improve the imaging provided by swallowable cameras used to detect cancers in the throat and gut. The new video pills are able to emit fluorescent light, allowing the researchers to better analyze the returned imagery.​

Researchers at the University of Glasgow have discovered a way to inexpensively create large sheets of graphene using the same type of cheap copper used to manufacture lithium-ion batteries

A University of Glasgow team led by Professor Lee Cronin, the Regius Chair of Chemistry, has developed the world's first chemical system capable of evolving as part of a project that aims at creating synthetic "life" without DNA.

When we feel full, it's because our gut has released hormones that tell our brain to stop being hungry. It would follow, therefore, that people who overeat might benefit from producing greater amounts of those hormones. Well, that's what a new food additive is claimed to cause the body to do.

Cartilage grown in a flat Petri dish may not be optimally-shaped for replacing the body's own natural cartilage parts. Scientists from a consortium of UK universities, however, are developing a possible solution. They're using "ultrasonic tweezers" to grow cartilage in mid-air.

Charitable organization the Wellcome Trust hopes to develop the ability to manufacture blood outside of the body. Last week, it announced that test subjects should begin receiving transfusions of blood made with lab-grown red blood cells by late 2016.

A Glaswegian professor has designed a line of nutritionally-balanced frozen pizzas, that reportedly taste good.

Researchers at the University of Glasgow have taken the first step in their goal to create "life" from carbon-free, inorganic chemicals with the creation of inorganic-chemical-cells, or iCHELLS.

An X-ray camera is being developed that will be able to record at 4.5 million frames per second.
