A first-of-its-kind study has found that recognizing – and actually using – personal strengths is linked with better wellbeing and fewer mental-health symptoms in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It also mapped which “ADHD strengths” are more commonly self-endorsed,…| New Atlas
Scientists have developed a new eyedrop that can ferry protective compounds all the way to the retina, paving the way for a less-invasive injection-free method of managing sight-stealing diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).| New Atlas
A massive study of more than 200,000 US adults has revealed that not all potatoes are created equal – because different forms will dramatically shift your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. But there's some good news for spud-lovers, showing that it all comes down to preparation and that the often…| New Atlas
Autism diagnoses have increased sharply in recent decades, leading to speculation that the condition is new or triggered by modern environmental factors. But a comprehensive review of research on autistic adults over the age of 40 paints a very different picture, showing that autism spans older…| New Atlas
Beet juice has been praised for its blood-pressure-lowering benefits, but new research suggests those benefits may also depend on your age – and your mouth. Scientists have discovered that the bacteria on your tongue play a critical role in whether dietary nitrate from beets is successfully…| New Atlas
