Creatine has long been popular in niche workout communities, but it’s getting more mainstream attention these days, and for good reason. “The benefits of creatine go well beyond just muscle and strength,” says Michael Ormsbee, PhD, director of the Florida State University Institute of Sports Sciences and Medicine in Tallahassee, Florida.“Creatine is a naturally occurring compound made from three amino acids — arginine, glycine, and methionine,” Dr. Ormsbee says. Your muscles store a form of creatine and use it to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), your body’s main energy source during high-intensity, short-duration activities like sprinting or lifting, he explains.For high-intensity…

John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis revealed quantum physics on a macroscopic scale. The work was a milestone for the development of superconducting quantum circuits.Credit: UC Berkeley; Yale Engineering; Rocco Ceselin for NatureThree physicists have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating quantum physics on the macroscopic scale. The research, including into the bizarre phenomena of quantum tunnelling and quantum superposition, has helped to underpin some of today’s most advanced quantum computers. John Clarke at the University of California, Berkeley, Michel Devoret at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, and the University of California, Santa Barbara…

Believe it or not, burning lip gloss isn’t the only noninvasive path to plumper lips. In fact, there’s an abundance of options to try, from nourishing lip balms to overnight masks to contouring liners and beyond. Most recently, I learned about a unique, device-driven hack that might just take the cake for the most effective method. 

Further industrial action by NHS doctors could be on the horizon after foundation year 1 (FY1) doctors voted overwhelmingly to take strike action.The BMA announced on 6 October that a vast majority (97%, 3950 of 4057) of FY1 resident doctors who voted in its ballot of eligible members had backed strike action over a shortage of specialty training places that is leaving many unemployed.The ballot had a 65% (4057 of 6243) turnout among FY1 resident doctors who are BMA members, which the union said gave it a mandate for industrial action alongside the linked dispute over eroded pay.More than a…

A preprint posted by researchers at artificial intelligence (AI)-based drug developer Insilico Medicine plots a two-pronged roadmap that aims to address two key questions in drug discovery: How can companies efficiently search the universe of more than 10⁶⁰ potential drug molecules for new treatments? And how can those companies prevent their discoveries from being the basis of “me too” and “me better” drugs patented by competitors? In “Molecular LEGION: Latent Enumeration, Generation, Integration, Optimization and Navigation. A case study of incalculably large chemical space coverage around the NLRP3 target,” posted on ChemRxiv, a team of 11 Insilico researchers unveiled their…

Spooky season has arrived as October gets underway, but what does this month have in store for our finances? We’ve got a Libra new moon to look forward to, not to mention Venus moving from virtuous Virgo into loving Libra—but these transits will impact us all differently depending on our birth charts.

Unidentified drone flights are causing alarm, chaos and uncertainty in European aviation.Credit: Johannes Simon/GettyIn July, the European Commission announced a proposal to nearly double the European Union’s Horizon Europe research-funding budget to €175 billion (US$205 billion) for its next seven-year period, which begins in 2028. But any celebrations did not last long. The commission also confirmed its intention, first mooted earlier this year, to abolish a long-standing rule that restricts Horizon funding to projects with only civilian applications. If the change is implemented, it would be the first time that…
