Termites did not evolve complex societies by adding new genetic features. Instead, scientists found that they became more social by shedding genes tied to competition and independence. A shift to monogamy removed the need for sperm competition, while ...

Archaeologists in central China have uncovered evidence that early humans were far more inventive than long assumed. Excavations at the Xigou site reveal advanced stone tools, including the earliest known examples of tools fitted with handles in East ...

On a remote Alaskan island, gray wolves are rewriting the rulebook by hunting sea otters -- a behavior few scientists ever expected to see. Researchers are now uncovering how these coastal wolves adapted to marine hunting, what it means for land-sea ...

A fast-aging fish is giving scientists a rare, accelerated look at how kidneys grow old--and how a common drug may slow that process down. Researchers found that SGLT2 inhibitors, widely used to treat diabetes and heart disease, preserved kidney ...

Two decades after a breast cancer vaccine trial, every participant is still alive--an astonishing result for metastatic disease. Scientists found their immune systems retained long-lasting memory cells primed to recognize cancer. By enhancing a key . ...

Small mammals are early warning systems for environmental damage, but many species look almost identical, making them hard to track. Scientists have developed a new footprint-based method that can tell apart nearly indistinguishable species with ...

Scientists have created a device that captures carbon dioxide and transforms it into a useful chemical in a single step. The new electrode works with realistic exhaust gases rather than requiring purified CO2. It converts the captured gas into formic ...

JWST has revealed a strange early universe filled with ultra-bright "blue monster" galaxies, mysterious "little red dots," and black holes that seem far too massive for their age. A new study proposes that dark stars--hypothetical stars powered by .. ...

Scientists at KAIST have found a way to turn a tumor's own immune cells into powerful cancer fighters--right inside the body. Tumors are packed with macrophages, immune cells that should attack cancer but are usually silenced by the tumor environment ...

Researchers have developed smart nanoparticles that can seek out and destroy disease-causing proteins the body can't normally eliminate. Unlike traditional drugs, these particles can reach hard-to-access tissues, including the brain, and precisely .. ...
