Scientists have identified tricellulin loss as the root cause of dry mouth in Sjögren’s syndrome, and successfully reversed it in lab models. A major breakthrough has identified the loss of a crucial “gatekeeper” protein as the underlying cause of dry mouth in Sjögren’s syndrome, a discovery that
Scientists from the KATRIN experiment have achieved the most precise upper limit ever recorded for the mass of the mysterious neutrino – clocking in at less than 0.45 electron volts.
This breakthrough not only tightens the constraints on one of the universe’s most elusive particles but also challenges and extends the boundaries of the Standard Model of physics.

A new hope for diabetes patients: reprogrammed stem cells achieve insulin independence.
In a pioneering medical breakthrough, scientists in China have successfully reversed type 1 diabetes in a patient by reprogramming her own fat cells into insulin-producing pancreatic cells. This revolutionary approach offers a promising alternative to current diabetes treatments and could pave the way for a potential cure for millions of people affected by this chronic autoimmune disease. The patient involved in the study remains free from insulin injections more than a year after receiving the experimental treatment, highlighting the potential of stem cell therapy as a game-changer in diabetes care.
A step forward in the development of diamond CMOS integrated circuits. A research team at NIMS has developed the world’s first n-channel diamond MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). This breakthrough marks a significant step toward realizing CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-se
Researchers have pulled off a quantum feat that defies traditional expectations—they’ve created Schrödinger cat states not from ultra-cold ground states, but from warm, thermally excited ones.
Using a superconducting qubit setup, the team demonstrated that quantum superpositions can exist even at higher temperatures, overturning the long-held belief that heat destroys quantum effects. This breakthrough not only validates Schrödinger’s original “hot cat” concept but also paves the way for more practical and accessible quantum technologies.
