The sleep disorder has been the butt of jokes and a comedic plot point, but the reality of living with narcolepsy is anything but funny. Things could be about to change for people with the condition though, after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first ever drug to treat narcolepsy itself, rather than just its symptoms. Madeleine Finlay tells Ian Sample how the scientific breakthrough came about, and Julie Flygare, who has narcolepsy and founded the non-profit Project Sleep,

You've perfected your process at the bench. Now comes the part that keeps CMC scientists up at night: will it still work at 2,000L? Right now, most teams find out the hard way, through failed runs, wasted batches, and months of delay to patients waiting on a therapy. Christian Witz believes there's a better way: use computational fluid dynamics to see how your cells will actually behave at full scale before you ever run the process, and stop treating scale-up as a guessing game. On this episo...

In this special episode, in partnership with Frontiers Science House, we launch our new Why? series by asking one of the biggest questions of our time: Why AI? Why has artificial intelligence advanced so rapidly, why does it work the way it does, and why could it fundamentally change how we think, work, and live? To explore the answers, we hear from four remarkable voices at the heart of the AI conversation: Geoffrey Hinton, Mike Wooldridge, Cristina Criddle, and Wendy Hall. Like this podcast

Below him were large metal spikes, and he knew immediately that he was falling toward them.His cousins were already on the other side. No one was close enough to grab him. And yet, somehow, he never fell. Something stopped his momentum and pushed him backward hard enough to
