Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted something that shouldn't exist--at least not so early in the universe. A massive galaxy, formed less than 2 billion years after the Big Bang, appears to have no rotation at all, a trait .. ...

A bizarre planetary pairing 190 light-years away is challenging everything astronomers thought they knew about how worlds form. A "lonely" hot Jupiter -- typically found without nearby companions -- is sharing its system with a smaller mini-Neptune . ...

Researchers have created a next-generation obesity drug that works like a "Trojan horse," using GLP-1/GIP signals to slip a powerful metabolic enhancer directly into target cells. In mice, it outperformed existing treatments--curbing appetite, ...

Some people taking Ozempic-like diabetes drugs may be getting dramatically better results for a surprising reason: why they overeat in the first place. A year-long study in Japan found that people who tend to eat because tempting food looks or smells ...

Aging doesn't just add fat--it redistributes it in risky ways, pushing more into the abdomen where it can harm health. Scientists found that testosterone plays a key role in this shift. In older women recovering from hip fractures, a testosterone gel ...

A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers stumbled upon a bizarre genetic code in a microscopic pond organism. Instead of following the near-universal "rules" of life, ...

Centuries ago in England, hats weren't just accessories--they were statements of power and rebellion. Refusing to remove a hat could challenge authority, even in courtrooms and before kings. People valued their hats so deeply that robbery victims ...

A new twin study suggests your genes may play a bigger role in your future success than your upbringing. Researchers found that IQ, which is largely genetically influenced, strongly predicts education, career, and income. Even twins raised in the ...

Scientists in Sweden have taken a major step toward a potential cure for type 1 diabetes by developing a more reliable way to create insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. These lab-grown cells not only respond strongly to glucose but were .. ...

In a major breakthrough, scientists have experimentally confirmed a universal growth law in two dimensions using a quantum system of fleeting light-matter particles. The finding strengthens the idea that wildly different processes--from crystals to . ...
