A substance found in edible sea squirts appeared to reverse several signs of aging in older mice. Plasmalogen supplements improved memory and learning, strengthened connections between brain cells, reduced inflammation, and even helped the mice grow ...

MIT researchers have created bacterial "transistors" that can be wired together into living circuits capable of performing calculations and directing chemical signals. One day, these biological computers could coat plant roots or leaves, detecting .. ...

Slow breathing with a prolonged exhale made people more willing to take risks by changing heart activity and increasing the brain's sensitivity to rewards. The findings suggest that something as simple as controlling your breath can directly ...

A giant iceberg measuring more than 76 square kilometers broke from Greenland's Petermann Glacier in August 2026, marking the Arctic's largest glacier calving event since 2020. The berg later slammed into Joe Island but survived without breaking ...

A newly discovered microbe living inside ancient stromatolite communities may offer a rare look at how complex life first emerged. Researchers captured the first direct images of an Asgard archaeon physically connected to a bacterium, with the two .. ...

A huge 10-sided atmospheric pattern has appeared around Saturn's south pole, giving the planet a surprising counterpart to its famous northern hexagon. Hubble data suggest the strange decagon only began emerging in the past few years and is still ...

Following nearly 10,000 older women for 10 years, researchers found that tea drinking was associated with slightly higher hip bone density. Moderate coffee consumption did not appear harmful, but drinking more than five cups a day was linked to lower ...

Mindfulness, gratitude, and optimism training may improve blood pressure, inflammation, and other heart-health measures within just eight to 12 weeks. The strongest programs paired daily practice with regular reinforcement, suggesting that improving ...

Snake embryos begin life curled into a distinctive right-handed spiral, and scientists may finally know why. Their bodies grow faster than their guts, creating a tether that forces the lengthening embryo to buckle and twist inside the egg. ...

A long-standing picture of brain evolution as newer, rational layers stacked on top of an ancient "lizard brain" may be deeply misleading. Researchers found that evolution instead appears to balance two competing styles of brain wiring, expanding one ...
