Antibiotics are accumulating in a major Brazilian river, especially during the dry season when pollution becomes more concentrated. Scientists even detected a banned drug inside fish sold for food, raising concerns about human exposure. A common ...

Researchers have discovered that cancer spread isn't random--it follows a kind of biological "program." By studying colon tumor cells, they identified gene patterns that signal whether a cancer is likely to metastasize. Their AI model, MangroveGS, .. ...

A routine quantum optics technique just revealed an extraordinary secret: entangled light can carry incredibly complex topological structures. Researchers found these hidden patterns reach up to 48 dimensions, offering a vast new "alphabet" for ...

A newly discovered Triassic reptile from the UK looked more like a racing greyhound than a crocodile, built for speed on land. With long legs and a lightweight body, it hunted small animals in a dry, upland environment millions of years ago. ...

Scientists have uncovered the oldest direct evidence yet that Earth's tectonic plates were on the move 3.5 billion years ago. By analyzing magnetic fingerprints in ancient rocks, they reconstructed how parts of the planet slowly drifted and even ...

In an incredibly lucky cosmic accident, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a comet breaking apart in real time--something astronomers have long tried and failed to observe. The comet, C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), wasn't even the original target, but when . ...

Scientists have engineered probiotic bacteria to act as tumor-seeking drug factories. In mice, these bacteria infiltrated tumors and produced a cancer-fighting drug right where it was needed. This targeted approach could make treatments more ...

Aging men often lose the Y chromosome in a growing number of their cells--and it may be far more dangerous than once believed. This loss has been linked to heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, and shorter lifespans. Researchers suspect Y-less cells .. ...

Many people believe closing their eyes sharpens hearing, but that is not always true. In noisy settings, participants struggled more to hear faint sounds with their eyes closed, while matching visuals made it easier. Researchers found that shutting . ...

A mysterious spike of platinum buried deep in Greenland's ice has long fueled theories of a catastrophic comet or asteroid strike 12,800 years ago--possibly triggering a sudden return to icy conditions known as the Younger Dryas. But new research ...
