Scientists are kicking off a study looking at whether cannabidiol (CBD) can treat people with psychosis.

CBD is currently only available on the NHS for a few conditions including for children and adults with rare, severe epilepsy and adults with vomiting or nausea caused by chemotherapy.

Evening Standard features journalist Maddy Mudden tells Tech & Science Daily about the Facebook group women in London are using to ‘vet’ men before dating them.

She has been investigating the group called “Are We Dating The Same Guy?” and explains the issues around this form of discussion online.

A team of researchers who’ve filmed underneath a glacier in the Antarctic say melting in the cracks and crevasses of the ice is happening much faster than melting overall.

Scientists drilled 600 metres through the Thwaites glacier, before sending an Icefin robot down it to film and take ocean measurements.

The moment the Titanic wreck was seen by human eyes for the first time since it sank is now available to watch on YouTube.

Eighty minutes of footage captured by divers in 1986 has been uploaded to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution channel, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of James Cameron’s blockbuster Titanic.

And the rest

People share the bizarre conversations they have had with Microsoft’s Bing AI-chatbot, did Leonardo da Vinci beat Isaac Newton to discovering gravity? Experts say a giant dinosaur footprint is the largest ever found in Yorkshire, and are Chinese sniffer-squirrels ‘better than drug dogs’?
