A slow-release, twice-a-week ketamine tablet significantly reduced depression symptoms, according to the results of a clinical trial. The tablet can be taken at home without medical supervision, making it more convenient than current ketamine treatments.

Semaglutide, better known as Ozempic and Wegovy, has added another string to its therapeutic bow. A recent international clinical trial found that it significantly reduced the risk of kidney failure and death in type 2 diabetics with chronic kidney disease.

A fresh cup of coffee in the morning can be vital for facing the day ahead, but what if you had to wait a day to get your caffeine hit? That's on the menu if you like your Joe brewed cold, but researchers have used ultrasound to cold brew in minutes.

Implanting tiny solar panels into people's eyeballs may sound like science fiction, but that's exactly what a team of Australian scientists are working on. The next-gen tech could vastly improve quality of life for people with incurable eye diseases.

You can cram much more quantum processing power into a given space if you use four different ways to store data on a single atom, according to new research. The method unlocks more powerful quantum computers that are easier to control.

Many assumed asthmatic children would be more prone to severe COVID-19 infection, but a new study suggests that, compared to children who don’t have asthma, those with the condition are not at greater risk of serious COVID infection.

Researchers have, for the first time, observed a mechanism used by cancer cells to resist the effects of chemotherapy. The findings could be used to develop targeted drugs to help override it and make chemotherapy more effective.

Researchers have developed a plant-based hydrogel to create shape-changing, navigable small-scale robots with potential applications in biomedicine, including conducting medical procedures and delivering therapeutic cargo to cells and tissues.

Researchers have scanned the brains of adolescents with OCD while they performed decision-making tasks and identified the specific areas affected by the condition. It opens the door to more targeted treatment for the condition.

Since the 1960s, scientists have been turning to an unlikely harvesting ground for uranium: the world's oceans. Now, researchers have moved the prospect of sea-based uranium harvesting another step forward by using a cheap and easy-to-make material.

Researchers have used AI to identify the factors that predict an adolescent’s risk of self-harm and attempting suicide. They say their model is more accurate than existing risk predictors and could provide individualized care to vulnerable patients.

Researchers have identified a key metabolic pathway that is abnormally activated in people with brain fog, a common symptom of long COVID, opening the door to developing a way of diagnosing, monitoring and treating people with the condition.
