A study involving more than 1,000 cancer patients has found that a low dose of aspirin halves the risk of colorectal tumors returning after surgery. This readily available and inexpensive treatment could change health outcomes for a significant number of cancer survivors who have problematic gene variants.

A daily cocoa extract supplement rich in flavanols appears to reduce age-related inflammation, according to new results from the largest study of its kind to date. The findings add biological support to earlier evidence that cocoa flavanols may help protect the heart, and hint at how the plant compounds influence the aging process by dialing down "inflammaging."

Horse Powertrain wasn't the only automotive supplier showing an efficiently packaged range-extender engine system at this year's IAA Mobility Munich show, which wrapped up over the weekend. German component builder Mahle took a short break from pushing out compact, torque-maximizing ebike motors to reveal a small, high-efficiency multi-fuel engine-generator it says is ready to deliver hybridized driving ranges up to 838 miles (1,350 km), about double that of some of today's longest-range battery electric vehicles.

Aluminum production creates a toxic byproduct known as red mud. In an effort to cut down on this waste, researchers have figured out a way to send electric pulses through the mud to purify it and allow it to be reused instead of discarded.

Scientists have found out exactly how an exercise-triggered molecule suppresses hunger signals in the brain, leading to weight loss. And the good news is that it could be harnessed as a therapeutic, providing the same benefits without the hard work it takes to produce it naturally.

Two years ago, Thule surprised the world with a vehicle hitch accessory quite different from the bike racks and cargo boxes it'd been dealing in for years. That product was the Outset, a hitch-mountable unfurling tent designed to combine the comfort and vehicle integration of a rooftop tent (RTT) with the ease of access and detachability of a tent trailer or simple ground tent. After several years on the European market, the tent is finally making its way over the Atlantic to the US. Will Americans embrace it like they did the rooftop tent, or is Thule trying to thread a needle through a hole that simply doesn't exist?

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It outweighs everything we see by a factor of five, yet it slips past every detector built to catch it. Now, a team led by the Weizmann Institute of Science, with collaborators in Germany and Colorado, has turned to a nuclear clock with the hope of revealing the faint fingerprints of this hidden matter.

In a massive study looking at more than two million individuals, scientists have failed to find any meaningful link between the use of opioid painkillers and the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), challenging earlier research suggesting otherwise.
