Antarctica's Hektoria Glacier stunned scientists by retreating eight kilometers in just two months, with nearly half of it collapsing in record time. The rapid breakup was driven by a flat, underwater bedrock surface that allowed the glacier to ...
Researchers have discovered new ways to shape quantum light, creating high-dimensional states that can carry much more information per photon. Using advanced tools like on-chip photonics and ultrafast light structuring, they're pushing quantum ...
Scientists at the University of Oxford have finally settled a decades-long mystery about the Moon's magnetic field -- and it turns out both sides were right. By reanalyzing Apollo mission rocks, they discovered that the Moon did occasionally generate ...
Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal scaffold. When this structure is disrupted, cells fail . ...
The Old Irish Goat isn't just part of folklore -- it's genetically linked to goats that lived in Ireland 3,000 years ago. Scientists analyzed ancient remains and discovered that today's rare breed shares its strongest DNA ties with Late Bronze Age .. ...
Worrying about getting older--especially fearing future health problems--may actually speed up aging at the cellular level, according to new research from NYU. In a study of more than 700 women, those who felt more anxious about aging showed signs of ...
Popular acid reflux drugs such as Prilosec, Nexium, and Protonix may carry hidden risks when taken long term. A new study found that extended use disrupted iron and calcium levels in rats, changes associated with anemia and osteoporosis risk. ...
"Forever chemicals" known as PFAS have quietly infiltrated everything from nonstick pans to food packaging--and now new research suggests some of them may be speeding up the aging process itself. In a nationally representative U.S. study, two lesser ...
Avoiding meat might slightly lower the odds of reaching 100 -- but only for frail, underweight seniors. In very old age, staying strong and maintaining muscle matters more than long-term disease prevention. Older adults who included fish, eggs, or .. ...
A shingles shot might do more than prevent a painful rash -- it could actually help slow down the aging process. In a large national study of more than 3,800 Americans age 70 and older, those who received the shingles vaccine showed slower biological ...
