What a mother eats during pregnancy may quietly shape her childs liver health years down the road-but new research suggests there may be a way to tip the odds back in a healthier direction. Scientists found that a natura...

Bakers yeast isnt just useful in the kitchen - it may also be built for space. Researchers found that yeast cells can survive intense shock waves and toxic chemicals similar to those on Mars. The cells protect themselves...

A new international study points to a specific brain network as the core driver of Parkinsons disease. Scientists found that this network becomes overly connected, disrupting not just movement but also thinking and other...

Emerging evidence suggests that "night owls" are more likely to have poor heart health and a higher risk of heart attack or stroke than "morning larks." Why is that?

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that constantly sense their surroundings to survive and thrive. New research shows that beneficial gut microbes, especially common Clostridia bacteria, can detect a surprisingly ...

Researchers have found a surprising way to turn sunflower oil waste into a powerful bread upgrade. By replacing part of wheat flour with partially defatted sunflower seed flour, breads became dramatically richer in prote...

A study in Iceland found that microbes are hoarding more nitrogen for themselves, altering nutrient cycling and leaving less for plants.

Using ideas borrowed from topological photonics, researchers in Singapore, France and the US have designed a compact antenna capable of handling information-rich terahertz (THz) signals. Reporting their results in Nature...

Scientists at the University of Warwick have cracked a long-standing problem in air pollution science: how to predict the movement of irregularly shaped nanoparticles as they drift through the air we breathe. These tiny ...

The Gemini North telescope snapped a spectacular view of Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) breaking apart as it emerged from the other side of the sun in October.

The ancient Olympic games were crowded with male athletes, but were there opportunities for females to compete in sports?

Deep inside Earth lies a hidden world of "intraterrestrials" that have been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years - what are they waiting to "wake up" for?

Scientists have uncovered promising clues that compounds found in Aloe vera could play a role in fighting Alzheimers disease. Using advanced computer modeling, researchers discovered that beta-sitosterol-a natural plant ...

A colossal ancient impact may have reshaped the Moon far more deeply than scientists once realized. By analyzing rare lunar rocks brought back by Chinas Change-6 mission from the Moons largest crater, researchers found u...

Gregor Mendel described his experiments with pea plants and proved that genes are transmitted in discrete units, with certain fundamental laws of inheritance.

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly incompatible views of how exotic particles behave inside quantum matter. In some cases, an impurity move...

New evidence from Neolithic mass graves in northeastern France suggests that some of Europes earliest violent encounters were not random acts of brutality, but carefully staged displays of power. By analyzing chemical cl...

Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earths climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New research shows these...

Pumas returning to Patagonia have begun hunting mainland penguins that evolved without land predators. Scientists estimate that more than 7,000 adult penguins were killed in just four years, many of them left uneaten. Wh...
