A major discovery reveals that metformin works not just in the body, but in the brain. By switching off a key protein and activating specific neurons, the drug lowers blood sugar through a previously hidden pathway, opening new doors for diabetes ...

A star you can see with the naked eye has kept astronomers guessing for decades with its unusually powerful X-rays. Now, thanks to highly precise observations from Japan's XRISM space telescope, scientists have finally uncovered the source: a hidden ...

Astronomers have narrowed down the cosmic search for life, identifying fewer than 50 rocky planets among thousands of known exoplanets that may have the right conditions to support life. Using new data from ESA's Gaia mission and NASA archives, ...

Researchers have visualized atoms in motion just before a radiation-driven decay process occurs, revealing a surprisingly dynamic scene. Instead of remaining fixed, the atoms roam and rearrange, directly influencing how and when the decay unfolds. .. ...

Honey bees don't just perform their famous waggle dance to share directions, they actually adjust how well they dance depending on who's watching. Researchers found that when fewer bees pay attention, the dancer becomes less precise as it moves ...

A new neural implant is so small it can rest on a grain of salt, yet it can track and wirelessly transmit brain activity for over a year. It's powered by laser light that safely passes through tissue and communicates using tiny infrared signals. This ...

Scientists have found that your brain separates memories into "what" and "where/when" using two different groups of neurons. One set responds to specific objects or people, while another tracks the context or situation. When you remember something .. ...

Astronomers have finally cracked a decades-old mystery about red giant stars--how material from their deep interiors makes its way to the surface. Using cutting-edge supercomputer simulations, researchers discovered that stellar rotation plays a ...

Scientists have uncovered a new species of rhinoceros in the Canadian High Arctic, revealing that rhinos once lived far farther north than expected. The fossil, dating back 23 million years, is unusually complete and has helped reshape ideas about .. ...

For over a century, scientists have chased the dream of insulin pills, but the digestive system kept destroying the drug before it could work--forcing millions of patients to rely on daily injections. Now, researchers at Kumamoto University have ...
