The landscape of medical treatments for chronic illnesses is often marked by innovation, hope, and occasionally, disappointment. One such instance is the recent announcement by Pfizer to withdraw its sickle cell disease treatment, Oxbryta (voxelotor), from all markets where it was approved

One ill-advised retweet over two years ago regarding data for an unapproved product has resulted in significant learnings for Pfizer and the pharmaceutical industry about the careful boundaries of using social media
Pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has filed a lawsuit against Pfizer-BioNTech, claiming patent infringement related to the technology used in their highly successful COVID-19 vaccine. This legal battle is expected to have far-reaching implications for the future of vaccine development.
Researchers have used machine learning to design nano-architected materials that have the strength of carbon steel but the lightness of Styrofoam. The team describes how they made nanomaterials with properties that offer a conflicting combination of exceptional strength, light weight and […]
Researchers used cutting-edge X-ray techniques to gain new insights into 'infinite-layer' nickelate materials.
A research team has made significant discoveries regarding the complex reaction mechanisms of carbon dioxide (CO2) in supercritical water. These findings are crucial for understanding the molecular mechanisms of CO2 mineralization and sequestration in nature and engineering, as well as the deep […]
Various methods are used to correct errors in quantum computers. Not all operations can be implemented equally well with different correction codes. Therefore, a research team has developed a method and implemented it experimentally for the first time, with which a quantum computer can switch back […]
The novel iron-based catalyst exhibits superior performance for ammonia (NH3) synthesis compared to a well-established, century-old counterpart. By designing this new catalyst with an inverse structure, they managed to boost the NH3 production rate per volume of catalyst beyond levels never reached […]
After 11 years, Boston Dynamics has said goodbye to its humanoid robot ATLAS HD. The robotics company says it’s time for ATLAS to “kick back and relax” in retirement, letting the new all electric ATLAS take over. This video was shared to remember ATLAS HD’s great moments and those not so great.
Header Banner: Speed is the name of the game. The DarkDrug logo shows an Intel Xeon microchip die. Xeon is a brand of x86 microprocessors designed, manufactured, and marketed by Intel, targeted at the non-consumer workstation, server, and embedded system markets. It was introduced in June 1998. The advent ofoptical fibre cable has allowed the speed of data transmission to reach dizzy heights (shown in the DarkDrug logo). The field of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers is known as fibre optics. The term was coined by Indian physicist Narinder Singh Kapany, who is widely acknowledged as the father of fibre optics.
