Scientists just discovered a tiny signal that volcanoes send before they erupt

A new detection method called “Jerk” could dramatically improve how scientists forecast volcanic eruptions. By using a single broadband seismometer, the system can detect extremely subtle ground movements caused by magma pushing underground—often hours before an eruption begins. Tested for more than a decade at the Piton de la Fournaise volcano on La https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260315004411.htm

Brain scans reveal how ketamine quickly lifts severe depression

A new brain-imaging study has revealed how ketamine produces its fast antidepressant effects in people with treatment-resistant depression. Researchers tracked changes in a critical brain receptor that helps neurons communicate and found that ketamine reshapes its activity in specific brain regions tied to mood and reward. These shifts strongly matched improvements https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260307213234.htm
