Cancer can turn life upside down for many people. The physical struggle is often matched by emotional burdens that seem to show up when least expected. A recent study led by Ryan Castle from the Whole Health Oncology Institute is shedding new light on the role of cannabis to treat cancer symptoms. Castle’s team joined forces with Cancer Playbook to explore whether cannabis can help with typical cancer complaints like pain, appetite loss, and sleeplessness.

Industrial fishing has been a huge food source for decades. It pulls enormous amounts of marine organisms – and their stored nutrients – out of the water every year. Scientists say these activities are tied to the loss of important nutrients that help keep aquatic systems alive. This observation gained traction when experts found that modern fishing habits remove a significant share of these valuable elements from coastal and open-water habitats.

Resting for thousands of years beneath northern Oman’s arid soil, some copper cymbals have waited silently. Their metallic edges, once polished by countless hands, remained hidden until archaeologists revealed them in sunlight. Music has long been a shared language for humanity. Even before modern instruments existed, societies found creative ways to celebrate, mourn, and mark important occasions through sound.

New research draws attention to the possibility that microplastics might cause premature aging. Scientists are investigating whether these small particles have any lasting impact on cellular health, especially in older adults. The study suggests that consistent contact with these particles might correlate with certain changes in the body linked to age-related conditions. Some experts think this interaction warrants closer inspection.

Knots are not just twisted loops you might encounter on sailboats or during household chores. Some knots hide layers of mathematical and quantum complexity that turn up in cryptography, thermodynamics, and even attempts to understand how solar flares form on the sun’s surface. Quantum computing has stepped into this area by introducing specialized algorithms that promise faster ways to identify and classify these knotted structures.
