A surprisingly mature spiral galaxy named Alaknanda has been spotted just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang--far earlier than astronomers believed such well-structured galaxies could form. With sweeping spiral arms, rapid star formation, and an .. ...

For thirty years, SOHO has watched the Sun from a stable perch in space, revealing the inner workings of our star and surviving crises that nearly ended the mission. Its long-term observations uncovered a single global plasma conveyor belt inside the ...

A surprising link between constipation and kidney decline led researchers to test lubiprostone, revealing that it can protect kidney function. The results point toward gut-based, mitochondria-boosting therapies as a promising new avenue for CKD care.

College life creates a perfect storm for overeating, as students consume more calories when surrounded by friends, eating in dining halls, or following unstructured schedules. A four-week study using a mobile app revealed that students often ...

Researchers recreated conditions from billions of years ago and found that Earth's young atmosphere could make key molecules linked to life. These sulfur-rich compounds, including certain amino acids, may have formed naturally in the sky. The results ...

Ant pupae that are fatally sick don't hide their condition; instead, they release a special scent that warns the rest of the colony. This signal prompts worker ants to open the pupae's cocoons and disinfect them with formic acid, stopping the ...

Scientists have discovered a strange tubular structure inside Profftella, a symbiotic bacterium in the Asian citrus psyllid. These long, helical tubes, filled with ribosomes, show a complexity not typically found in bacteria. The discovery reshapes . ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the earliest stages of embryonic development. These mosaic mutations often go undetected yet can still be passed on and cause ...

Researchers discovered that 168 common chemicals can disrupt the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, with some also promoting antibiotic resistance. Many of these substances--found in food, water, and household items--weren't previously suspected of . ...

Researchers have solved the decades-old mystery behind how a common pregnancy drug lowers blood pressure. It turns out the medication blocks a fast-acting "oxygen alarm" inside cells. That same alarm helps brain tumors survive, meaning the drug ...
