Researchers have revealed that atorvastatin reduced major cardiovascular events by 30 % in older people without known cardiovascular disease, diabetes or dementia, but did not significantly improve disability-free survival.

A new application report from Postnova Analytics demonstrates how Thermal Field-Flow Fractionation coupled to Multi Angle Light Scattering (TF3-MALS-RI) can be used to characterize different polyacrylate formulations.

The U.S. has recorded its first adult measles-related deaths of 2026 in Pennsylvania as national MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccination rates among kindergarteners continue to decline.

Azenta Life Sciences’ Handheld 2 tube reader is a powerful, portable tube reader that offers rapid and accurate reading of individual 2D barcoded sample tubes.

Brighter nights may be linked to more than disrupted sleep. A study of over 11,000 adults found an association between nighttime light exposure and differences in heart structure and function, although it does not establish cause and effect.

Unusual tooth wear and chemical traces in ancient human remains suggest that hunter-gatherers in Indonesia were using betel nuts up to 25,000 years ago. The findings push the practice back into the Ice Age and point to a long history of psychoactive substance use and its dental consequences.

Fast, broad-range spoilage detection for confident product release.

Airborne microplastics reach farmland and water as well as cities. A year-long Swiss study estimates that around 219 tonnes settle annually across areas below 2,000 metres, with comparable deposition levels at rural, suburban and mountain monitoring sites.

Hunting in murky water takes a sensitive touch. UCLA researchers have found that Surinam toads detect prey through water movements using specialised fingertips, with a surprisingly large brain region devoted to processing these signals.

Lighter vehicle structures do not necessarily have to compromise crash protection. Simulations indicate that front rails made with composite metal foam could reduce deceleration, crash severity and head injury risk during frontal collisions without adding weight.
