Scientists in Brazil have transformed cocoa waste into a functional chocolate-infused honey packed with antioxidants and natural stimulants. Using ultrasound waves, they enhanced honey's ability to pull beneficial compounds from cocoa shells--no ...

Jupiter's icy moons may have been seeded with the chemical ingredients for life from the very beginning. An international team of scientists modeled how complex organic molecules--essential building blocks for biology--could have formed in the ...

Scientists have built a massive cellular atlas showing how aging reshapes the body across 21 organs. Studying nearly 7 million cells, they found that aging starts earlier than expected and unfolds in a coordinated way throughout the body. About a ...

A popular climate theory suggested that melting Antarctic glaciers would release iron into the ocean, sparking algae blooms that pull carbon dioxide from the air. New field data from West Antarctica reveal that meltwater provides far less iron than . ...

Sponges may be ancient, but their timeline has been murky. New research suggests the earliest sponges were soft and skeleton-free, explaining why their fossils don't appear until much later. By analyzing hundreds of genes and modeling how skeletons . ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide--without relying on the classic "purse-string" ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying zebrafish embryos, researchers found that instead of ...

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have now discovered that several unrelated viruses disable a key bacterial protein called MurJ, which is essential for building . ...

Scientists racing to tackle plastic pollution have created a surprising new contender: a biodegradable packaging film made partly from milk protein. Researchers at Flinders University blended calcium caseinate with starch and natural nanoclay to form ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology's most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear "stop" signal, this methane-producing archaeon sometimes reads it as a green light- ...

Scientists at MIT have found compelling chemical evidence that Earth's earliest animals were likely ancient sea sponges. Hidden inside rocks over 541 million years old are rare molecular "fingerprints" that match compounds made by modern demosponges. ...
