One time release capsule can replace taking multiple tablets
The once-daily capsule prototype is set to contain three color-coded doses (yellow, green, red) in their own compartments and release at different times. It could potentially replace the need to take another pill for each dose.

Live Imaging captures DNA folding in sperm cells for the first time
Credit: Nucleic Acid Research (2025). doi: 10.1093/nar/gkaf152 The Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-Nanolsi), Kanazawa University, and fellow researchers achieved breakthroughs to understand sperm DNA packages. Using fast atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), we captured the real-time process of protamine (PRM)-induced DNA condensation, providing important insights into fertility, genomic stability, and future applications of medicine. Their findings are published in Nucleic Acid…

Scientists discover better when it comes to time domain spectroscopy of terahertz
A close-up of a simplified experimental setup of Terahertz Time-Domain spectroscopy, demonstrated by Hayazawa and his team. Credit: Riken Advanced Photonics Center A simple adjustment to a normal setup is all that is needed to enhance spectroscopic techniques using waves in the terahertz region for samples, Riken physicists discovered. Findings can be found in the Journal Applied Physics Letters. Developing…

For the first time in 25 years, California has a snowpack three regiment.
Credit: CC0 Public Domain The year may have started with a dry spell, but the end of California storm season brought more fresh snow to Sierra Nevada, pushing the state snow to 96% of the average on April 1st, when snow season was at its normal peak. Near-average snow packs gave the state a sufficient water supply to the mountains…

Reliable science takes time. But the current system rewards speed
Credit: Franz Van Harden of Pexel Recently, there have been many headlines about scientific fraud and withdrawal of magazine articles. If this trend continues, it represents a serious threat to public trust in science. One way to tackle this issue and ensure public trust in science can slow it down. We sometimes refer to this philosophy as “slow science.” Like…
