A recent study from Polish researchers has revealed some exciting news about toothpaste. They’ve developed a new formula without fluoride that works just as well as traditional fluoride toothpaste in preventing cavities. The secret ingredient? Hydroxyapatite, a mineral already known for helping with dental issues like sensitivity and periodontitis.

This new toothpaste was tested in a clinical trial lasting 18 months, and the results were impressive. People who used hydroxyapatite toothpaste were just as likely to stay cavity-free as those who used fluoride toothpaste.

Depression can feel like a never-ending battle, especially when traditional treatments like talk therapy or antidepressants don’t seem to help. But a recent study from Australia is offering a spark of hope—using a familiar drug in a new way.

Imagine getting the same weight-loss benefits of Ozempic—without the nasty side effects. Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, researchers at Stanford just made that idea feel a whole lot more real.

Ozempic is a big name in weight loss and diabetes treatment. Since it hit the U.S. market in 2017, it’s helped people shed serious pounds. It’s also been found to help with conditions like alcohol addiction, osteoarthritis pain, and even kidney and heart health. But like many powerful medications, it doesn’t come without baggage.

In a world first, an Australian company called Cortical Labs has created a new kind of computer—one that thinks using living human brain cells. It's called the CL1, and it blends real human neurons with computer hardware to form something called Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI). This breakthrough could change the way we think about artificial intelligence forever.

In a medical first, doctors in London have helped four young children born blind to see — and it’s all thanks to a game-changing new gene therapy.

These children were born with a rare eye condition called leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). It’s a genetic disorder that causes severe vision loss from birth. Until now, there was no effective treatment for it.

But thanks to a team of specialists from Moorfields Eye Hospital, UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, and Great Ormond Street Hospital, that’s no longer the case.

A company called Clone Robotics just released a video of its new humanoid robot, and it's kind of wild. The robot — called Protoclone — doesn’t just move like a human, it looks a lot like one too. The video shows it twitching, flexing, and even kicking, which some viewers found a little... creepy. But believe it or not, the end goal is to make robots that can help you around the house.

Imagine getting clean, reliable electricity from floating power stations off the coast. That’s exactly what a UK company called Core Power is planning to do in the next 10 years — and it could totally change how we think about nuclear energy.

Core Power wants to build a fleet of floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) using the same kind of assembly-line approach used to build ships. The idea is to make clean energy faster, safer, and more flexible than ever before.

If you enjoy a drink now and then, you might want to hear what the US Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, has to say. In a new warning, he’s made it clear: alcohol can raise your risk of cancer. And he thinks it’s time for that risk to be printed right on the bottle.

Surgeon general advisories don’t come out often—they’re saved for serious public health issues. Think back to 1964, when the government first linked smoking to cancer. That warning changed how Americans thought about cigarettes. Now, alcohol could be next in line.

Imagine if we didn’t have to destroy cancer cells to stop cancer—but could turn them back into healthy cells instead. That’s exactly what a team of scientists in South Korea has done in a groundbreaking new study.

Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have found a way to “flip the switch” on colon cancer cells and make them behave like normal, healthy cells again. And if this works in humans the way it has in early tests, it could totally change how we treat cancer in the future.

What’s the Usual Way to Treat Cancer?

We’ve all heard it before: eating too much red meat isn’t great for your health. But now, scientists have finally figured out why it's connected to colorectal cancer—and their discovery could lead to new ways to treat the disease.

Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand.
