Scientists at UCLA have made a major breakthrough that could form a cure for male pattern balding, thanks to a newly discovered molecule called PP405

Scientists have discovered a groundbreaking cancer treatment that uses only light and a special medical dye to destroy tumor cells—no drugs, no radiation, and no surgery. This new technique, powered by "molecular jackhammers," causes the dye molecules to vibrate a trillion times per second under near-infrared light, physically ripping cancer cells apart from within.

The dye—aminocyanine—is already FDA-approved for imaging, but researchers found that when it's hit with near-infrared light, it begins to violently vibrate and rupture cancer cells without harming nearby healthy tissue. In lab tests, 99% of melanoma cells were destroyed in one session. In mice, half the tumors vanished after just one treatment.

Even better? The near-infrared light can reach up to 10 cm deep, making it possible to treat internal organs without surgery. Since the dye naturally targets cancer cells, the technique is highly specific and may avoid resistance that plagues chemo and radiation. Scientists believe this tech could soon reshape not just cancer therapy, but early disease detection as well—without needles, drugs, or invasive tools.

What if your walls could power your lights? Chinese professor Zhou Yang has developed a revolutionary cement that doesn’t just hold buildings together — it helps power them. By combining cement with hydrogel, his material harvests heat from the environment and converts it into usable electricity using a high Seebeck coefficient.

This game-changing tech doesn’t rely on sunlight, fuel, or motion. From energy-generating highways to self-powered smart buildings, Zhou’s discovery could redefine the future of infrastructure. Read more on how this breakthrough could revolutionize the cement industry

Scientists have uncovered a massive underground water reservoir located about 700 kilometers (430 miles) beneath Earth’s surface — a discovery so vast it could match or exceed the volume of all surface oceans combined. This hidden “6th ocean” isn’t in liquid form but is trapped inside a high-pressure mineral called ringwoodite, deep in the Earth’s mantle.

What’s even more groundbreaking is what this means for Earth's water origins. For decades, it was believed that most of our planet's water arrived via comet impacts. But this discovery flips the narrative — suggesting that a significant portion may have originated from deep within the Earth itself, slowly migrating upward. Using seismic wave data from over 500 earthquakes and 2,000 global monitoring stations, scientists found that these shockwaves slowed down as they passed through water-rich rock, confirming the oceanic-scale reservoir’s presence.

Scientists at Macquarie University in Australia have discovered a significant role for a naturally occurring protein called protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) in combating brain aging.

Traditionally known for its function in protein folding outside the cell nucleus, PDI has now been found to also enter the nucleus and repair damaged DNA.

This DNA damage typically accumulates as we age or due to environmental stressors like toxins and radiation, leading to cell dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and motor neuron disease (MND).

The researchers observed that PDI behaves like a “molecular glue”, sealing breaks in DNA strands, much like a repair enzyme.

The findings, published in the journal Aging Cell, show that boosting PDI activity in zebrafish can significantly reduce DNA damage due to aging.

Additionally, in lab studies involving human and mouse cells, PDI was shown to restore their self-repair capabilities.

There’s a promising future for gene therapy or mRNA-based treatments that could stimulate PDI activity, potentially preventing or slowing neurodegenerative conditions.

However, researchers caution that PDI can also help cancer cells survive chemotherapy, meaning future therapies must find ways to selectively enhance PDI in healthy cells while making tumor cells more vulnerable.
