This spray-on powder can stop life-threatening bleeding in 1 second | ScienceDaily A new spray-on powder developed by KAIST can stop life-threatening bleeding in about one second by instantly forming a strong gel over a wound. It works on deep and irregular injuries where conventional hemostatic products often struggle and remains effective even after years of storage in harsh conditions. Originally created for the battlefield, the technology could also transform emergency care in disasters, ambulances, and hospitals.
Scientists discover a completely different way to fight viruses | ScienceDaily Researchers have uncovered an unexpected antiviral defense system in sea anemones that works very differently from the one humans use. The discovery suggests evolution developed multiple ways to combat viruses, challenging long-held ideas about how animal immune systems evolved.
Scientists discover a surprising link between vitamin C and brain health | ScienceDaily A large new study suggests higher vitamin C levels are linked to healthier brain structure and stronger brain network connections in older adults.
