Scientists have identified a promising new compound, Mic-628, that can reliably shift the body's internal clock forward--something that's notoriously hard to do. By targeting a key clock-control protein, Mic-628 jump-starts the gene that sets daily . ...

A colossal ancient impact may have reshaped the Moon far more deeply than scientists once realized. By analyzing rare lunar rocks brought back by China's Chang'e-6 mission from the Moon's largest crater, researchers found unusual chemical ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly incompatible views of how exotic particles behave inside quantum matter. In some cases, an impurity moves through a sea of particles . ...

What a mother eats during pregnancy may quietly shape her child's liver health years down the road--but new research suggests there may be a way to tip the odds back in a healthier direction. Scientists found that a natural compound made by healthy . ...

New evidence from Neolithic mass graves in northeastern France suggests that some of Europe's earliest violent encounters were not random acts of brutality, but carefully staged displays of power. By analyzing chemical clues locked in ancient bones . ...

Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earth's climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New research shows these microscopic engineers are .. ...

Pumas returning to Patagonia have begun hunting mainland penguins that evolved without land predators. Scientists estimate that more than 7,000 adult penguins were killed in just four years, many of them left uneaten. While the losses are dramatic, . ...

A newly discovered deep-sea creature has become an unlikely Internet star. After appearing in a popular YouTube video, a rare chiton found nearly three miles beneath the ocean surface sparked a global naming effort, drawing more than 8,000 ...

New research suggests the astringent sensation caused by flavanols could act as a direct signal to the brain, triggering effects similar to a mild workout for the nervous system. In mouse experiments, flavanol intake boosted activity, curiosity, ...

Fossils from a Moroccan cave have been dated with remarkable accuracy to about 773,000 years ago, thanks to a magnetic signature locked into the surrounding sediments. The hominin remains show a blend of ancient and more modern features, placing them ...
