A little-known tree from Brazil’s Atlantic Forest may hold a surprising weapon against COVID-19. Researchers discovered that compounds called galloylquinic acids, extracted from its leaves, can attack SARS-CoV-2 on multiple fronts—blocking the virus from entering cells, disrupting its replication, and even dampening harmful inflammation. Unlike many antivirals that target just one part of the virus, these natural compounds act in several ways at once, potentially making it harder for resistance to develop.

How soon is too soon to raise a new funding round?I’ve been covering venture capital long enough (more than a decade!) to remember that the hottest startups used to raise financing every 12-18 months. Then it was 9-12 months. Then 6-9 months. And now…two months? Two weeks? Recently, a wave of both early and late stage startups have been raising new rounds of capital right after closing other ones, in... Read more ›

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new layer of complexity in Cannabis, identifying dozens of previously unknown compounds—including the first-ever evidence of rare molecules called flavoalkaloids in its leaves. These compounds, prized for their potential health benefits, were hidden among a rich mix of plant chemicals that vary dramatically even between just a few strains. Read more ›

Chronic stress is already tough on your gut—but new research suggests late-night eating could make things even worse. Scientists analyzing thousands of people found that those under high stress who also ate a large portion of their calories after 9 p.m. were far more likely to suffer from constipation and diarrhea. The combination appears to hit the gut twice, not only disrupting digestion but also reducing the diversity of beneficial... Read more ›

A new breakthrough could change how high cholesterol is treated, offering a powerful alternative to traditional drugs. Researchers have developed tiny DNA-based molecules that shut down PCSK9—a key protein that keeps “bad” LDL cholesterol circulating in the blood. By blocking this protein, cells can absorb more cholesterol instead of letting it build up in arteries, dramatically lowering levels linked to heart disease. Read more ›

A team at King’s College London has created a powerful new aluminum compound capable of doing the work of expensive rare metals. Its unique triangular structure gives it remarkable stability and reactivity, allowing it to drive chemical reactions in ways never seen before. The discovery could lead to greener and far more affordable industrial processes. It may even enable the creation of entirely new materials. Read more ›

Scientists have uncovered a tiny wall-dwelling spider named Pikelinia floydmuraria, inspired by Pink Floyd. Despite its size, it’s a fierce predator that hunts ants much larger than itself and helps reduce common urban pests like mosquitoes and flies. Its clever strategy of building webs near lights makes it especially effective. The discovery also raises new questions about its mysterious link to similar spiders in the Galápagos. Read more ›

Deep in a dried-up riverbed in Brazil, scientists uncovered a bizarre prehistoric mystery—twisted jawbones from a strange, long-lost animal unlike anything seen before. Dating back 275 million years, this creature, named Tanyka amnicola, belonged to an ancient lineage that should have already faded away, making it a kind of “living fossil” of its time. Read more ›

Building muscle doesn’t have to mean exhausting workouts or soreness. Researchers found that slow, controlled “lowering” movements can boost strength more efficiently while requiring less effort. Even five minutes a day of simple exercises like chair squats or wall push-ups can make a real difference. It’s a smarter, easier way to get stronger—no gym required. Read more ›

Scientists have uncovered a surprising link between simple body movement and brain health: every time you tighten your abdominal muscles—even slightly—your brain may gently sway inside your skull. This subtle motion, triggered by pressure changes in connected blood vessels, appears to help circulate cerebrospinal fluid around the brain, potentially flushing out harmful waste. Read more ›
