Disrupted sleep patterns in Alzheimer's disease may be more than a symptom--they could be a driving force. Researchers at Washington University found that the brain's circadian rhythms are thrown off in key cell types, changing when hundreds of genes ...

Scientists have discovered that a "longevity gene" found in people who live beyond 100 can reverse heart aging in models of Progeria, a devastating disease that causes children to age rapidly. By introducing this supercentenarian gene into Progeria . ...

On the Canary Islands, scientists discovered that the spider Dysdera tilosensis has halved its genome size in just a few million years--defying traditional evolutionary theories that predict larger, more repetitive genomes in island species. This ...

UC Davis scientists uncovered Aptostichus ramirezae, a new trapdoor spider species living under California's dunes. Genetic analysis revealed it was distinct from its close relative, Aptostichus simus. The species was named after pioneering ...

Scientists are revolutionizing how new marine species are described through the Ocean Species Discoveries initiative. Using advanced lab techniques, researchers recently unveiled 14 new species from ocean depths exceeding 6,000 meters. Their findings ...

Researchers at Maynooth University have achieved a forensic milestone by revealing fingerprints on fired bullet casings using a safe electrochemical process. The method uses mild voltage and non-toxic materials to make hidden ridges visible within .. ...

Spacetime isn't something that exists; it's a model for describing how events happen. Treating events as objects creates philosophical confusion and fuels misconceptions, such as time-travel paradoxes. Recognizing that events merely occur within an . ...

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive "ultra-hot Jupiter," revealed striking temperature contrasts, including regions so hot they destroy water ...

Earth's climate balance isn't just governed by the slow weathering of silicate rocks, which capture carbon and stabilize temperature over eons. New research reveals that biological and oceanic feedback loops--especially involving algae, phosphorus, . ...

Researchers uncovered that trace compounds like nickel and urea may have delayed Earth's oxygenation for millions of years. Experiments mimicking early Earth revealed how their concentrations controlled cyanobacterial growth, dictating when oxygen .. ...
