A new study reveals that gut bacteria and metabolites may hold the key to detecting serious digestive diseases earlier and more easily. Using AI, scientists found that biomarkers linked to one condition can often predict others, showing these ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward futuristic energy tech by building a working prototype of a quantum battery--one that can charge, store, and release energy using the strange rules of quantum physics instead of chemistry. This tiny, laser .. ...

Astrocytes, once thought to be mere brain "support cells," are now revealed to be key players in fear memory. Researchers found they actively help form, recall, and weaken fear responses by interacting with neurons in real time. Changing astrocyte .. ...

Dying stars may be wiping out nearby giant planets as they expand into red giants. Astronomers found that these close-in planets become increasingly rare around more evolved stars, suggesting many have already been swallowed. The likely cause is a .. ...

A group of undergraduate students stumbled into a cosmic time capsule--one of the oldest stars ever discovered--while combing through massive astronomy datasets. What began as a class project quickly turned into a breakthrough when they spotted an .. ...

A new pill called baxdrostat is showing strong results in lowering dangerously high blood pressure in people who don't respond to standard treatments. In a large global trial, patients saw their blood pressure drop by nearly 10 mmHg, a meaningful ...
