Just a few minutes of getting out of breath each day could dramatically cut your risk of major diseases--including heart disease, dementia, and diabetes. A large study of nearly 100,000 people found that it's not just how much you move, but how ...

Scientists may have been unknowingly inflating microplastics pollution estimates, and the surprising source could be their own lab gloves. A University of Michigan study found that common nitrile and latex gloves release tiny particles called ...

Making babies in space may be more complicated than expected, as new research shows sperm struggle to navigate in microgravity. Scientists found that while sperm can still swim normally, they lose their sense of direction without gravity, making it . ...

Far beneath the ocean near Japan, scientists have discovered that the magma system linked to the most powerful eruption of the Holocene is slowly rebuilding. By using seismic imaging, researchers mapped a large magma reservoir under the Kikai caldera ...

Scientists have finally found a hidden "critical point" in supercooled water that explains why it behaves so strangely. At this point, two different liquid forms of water merge, triggering powerful fluctuations that affect water even at normal ...

A team of physicists set out to test some of the most exciting claims in quantum computing--and found a very different story. Instead of confirming breakthroughs, their careful replication studies revealed that signals once hailed as major advances . ...

Scientists have discovered that the ocean's "missing" plastic hasn't vanished--it has broken down into trillions of invisible nanoplastics now spread through water, air, and living organisms. These tiny particles may be everywhere, including inside . ...

After a stroke, the brain may do something surprisingly hopeful--it can "refresh" parts of itself. Researchers analyzing brain scans from over 500 stroke survivors found that while the damaged side of the brain appears to age faster, the opposite, .. ...

A major new U.S. cholesterol guideline is shifting the focus toward earlier, more personalized prevention of heart disease. It urges people to start screening sooner--sometimes even in childhood--and highlights the importance of tracking not just LDL ...
