Scientists studying aging found that sensory inputs like touch and smell can cancel out the lifespan-boosting effects of dietary restriction by suppressing the key longevity gene fmo-2. When overactivated, the gene makes worms oddly indifferent to .. ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have uncovered a trove of complex organic molecules frozen in ice around a young star in a neighboring galaxy -- including the first-ever detection of acetic acid beyond the Milky Way. Found in the ...

Historians have traced myths about the Black Death's rapid journey across Asia to one 14th-century poem by Ibn al-Wardi. His imaginative maqma, never meant as fact, became the foundation for centuries of misinformation about how the plague spread. .. ...

Scientists at EPFL have unraveled the mystery behind why biological nanopores, tiny molecular holes used in both nature and biotechnology, sometimes behave unpredictably. By experimenting with engineered versions of the bacterial pore aerolysin, they ...

Scientists have found that keratin, the protein in hair and skin, can repair and protect tooth enamel. The material forms a mineralized layer that halts decay and restores strength, outperforming traditional fluoride. Made from sustainable sources .. ...

New research finds that daily coffee drinking may cut AFib risk by nearly 40%, defying decades of medical caution. Scientists discovered that caffeine's effects on activity, blood pressure, and inflammation could all contribute to a healthier heart . ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel's incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires "non-algorithmic understanding," something no computation can replicate. . ...

New supercomputer simulations hint that dark energy might be dynamic, not constant, subtly reshaping the Universe's structure. The findings align with recent DESI observations, offering the strongest evidence yet for an evolving cosmic force.

Deep beneath the ocean, scientists uncovered thriving microbial life in one of Earth's harshest environments--an area with a pH of 12, where survival seems nearly impossible. Using lipid biomarkers instead of DNA, researchers revealed how these ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect originates in the material's bulk rather than its surface ...
