A cave in Belgium has revealed unsettling evidence that Neanderthals selectively cannibalized outsiders, focusing on women and children. The victims weren't from the local group and appear to have been treated like prey, with bones butchered for meat ...

The first-ever published research on Tinshemet Cave reveals that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens in the mid-Middle Paleolithic Levant not only coexisted but actively interacted, sharing technology, lifestyles, and burial customs. These interactions ...

Researchers are launching a new project to crack the mystery of aggressive breast cancer, where predicting disease progression remains a major hurdle. By studying how tumors interact with and suppress the immune system, scientists aim to identify new ...

A new nanodisc-based platform lets scientists study viral proteins in a form that closely mimics real viruses, revealing how antibodies truly recognize them. This approach uncovered hidden interactions in viruses like HIV and Ebola that traditional . ...

Mars may be hostile, but it might not be entirely unlivable. In lab experiments, yeast cells survived simulated Martian shock waves and toxic perchlorate salts--two major environmental threats on the Red Planet. Their secret weapon was forming ...

A major international effort has produced an ultra-precise measurement of the Universe's expansion rate, confirming it's faster than early-Universe models predict. By linking multiple distance-measuring techniques, scientists ruled out simple errors ...

A major study suggests that when you eat could play a key role in staying lean. People who fast longer overnight and start their day with an early breakfast were more likely to have a lower BMI years later. Scientists think this is because eating ...

Scientists searching for air pollution clues stumbled onto something unexpected: toxic MCCPs drifting through the air for the first time in the Western Hemisphere. The likely source--fertilizer made from sewage sludge--points to a hidden route for .. ...

Scientists have achieved the unthinkable by stabilizing a highly reactive molecule in water, confirming a decades-old theory about vitamin B1's role in the body. The breakthrough not only solves a scientific mystery but could revolutionize greener .. ...

Losing your sense of smell might signal Alzheimer's far earlier than expected. Scientists found that immune cells in the brain actively destroy smell-related nerve fibers after detecting abnormal signals on their surfaces. This damage begins in early ...
