Scientists have identified a potential new weapon against hepatitis E, a virus with no approved treatment and tens of thousands of deaths each year. The drug bemnifosbuvir, currently in trials for hepatitis C, was found to block the virus from ...

Oyster reefs aren't random piles--they're carefully shaped survival systems. Researchers discovered that certain geometric patterns, not just bigger or more complex structures, give young oysters the best chance to thrive. By mimicking these natural ...

AI is consuming staggering amounts of energy--already over 10% of U.S. electricity--and the demand is only accelerating. Now, researchers have unveiled a radically more efficient approach that could slash AI energy use by up to 100× while actually . ...

A massive new analysis of over 1,700 languages shows that some long-debated "universal" grammar rules are actually real. By using cutting-edge evolutionary methods, researchers found that languages tend to evolve in predictable ways rather than ...

Scientists in Canada have uncovered a surprising weakness in glioblastoma, one of the deadliest brain cancers. They found that certain brain cells--once believed to only support healthy nerves--can actually help tumors grow by sending signals that .. ...

Scientists have uncovered a powerful new clue in the mystery of brain aging: a single protein called FTL1. In aging mice, higher levels of this protein weakened connections between brain cells and led to memory decline. But when researchers reduced . ...

Researchers have created a nanoscale structure that traps infrared light in a layer just 40 nanometers thick--over 1,000 times thinner than a human hair. By using a unique material with exceptional light-bending properties, they can confine and ...

Mars may look like a quiet, dusty world, but it's actually buzzing with hidden electrical activity. Powerful dust storms and swirling dust devils generate static electricity strong enough to spark faint glowing discharges across the planet, ...

A hidden Roman sanctuary discovered beneath Frankfurt is offering rare clues about ancient rituals, including possible human sacrifice. With major funding secured, scientists are now racing to uncover how this mysterious, multi-god cult site operated ...

Scientists have created an artificial saliva using a sugarcane protein that can protect teeth and fight bacteria. The key ingredient, CANECPI-5, binds directly to enamel, forming a shield against acids that cause decay. Early tests show it works even ...
