Colorblindness may be doing more than making traffic lights confusing -- it could also be hiding a life-threatening warning sign. Researchers analyzing millions of medical records found that people with bladder cancer who are also colorblind have a . ...

Scientists have uncovered how brewer's yeast developed its unusually tiny centromeres, the DNA regions that guide chromosome separation during cell division. By studying related yeast species, researchers found centromeres that appear to represent .. ...

A new analysis of more than 422,000 patients reveals a stark Alzheimer's care gap between Maryland's urban and rural communities. Rural regions often lack hospitals and dementia specialists, forcing older patients to travel farther for diagnosis and ...

When NASA's DART spacecraft deliberately crashed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos, it did more than change the asteroid's local orbit -- it slightly shifted the path of the entire asteroid pair around the Sun. The impact blasted debris into space, ...

Global warming has picked up speed in the past decade, according to a new analysis from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). By removing short term natural influences such as El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles from ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a "nuclear metabolic fingerprint." Some of the enzymes gather around ...

Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins switching states at the right time, scientists could .. ...

Exercise normally boosts the body's ability to use oxygen, a key marker of health and longevity -- but high blood sugar can block that benefit. Researchers found that a ketogenic diet helped mice normalize blood sugar and dramatically improved how .. ...

Pre-workout supplements promising extra energy for workouts may come with a hidden cost: severely reduced sleep. A study of people aged 16-30 found users were more than twice as likely to sleep five hours or less per night. Many of these products ...

Scientists have found a way to significantly boost "blue energy," which generates electricity from the mixing of saltwater and freshwater. By coating nanopores with lipid molecules that create a friction-reducing water layer, they enabled ions to ...
