A new blood test could change the outlook for one of the deadliest cancers--pancreatic cancer--by catching it much earlier than ever before. Researchers identified two previously unknown proteins in the blood that, when combined with existing markers ...

A surprising new study reveals that blocking a supposedly protective enzyme, Caspase-2, could actually backfire--raising the risk of chronic liver damage and cancer over time. Researchers found that without this enzyme, liver cells grow abnormally .. ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising brain-based trigger for high blood pressure, tracing it to a small region in the brainstem that normally controls breathing. This area, which kicks in during forceful exhalations like coughing, laughing, or ...

Scientists in Australia have demonstrated a prototype quantum battery that could revolutionize energy storage. By harnessing quantum effects, it can absorb energy in a rapid "super absorption" event, enabling much faster charging than conventional .. ...

A decades-old superconducting mystery just took a surprising turn. Strontium ruthenate, a material that conducts electricity with zero resistance at low temperatures, has long puzzled scientists with hints of an exotic, complex superconducting state. ...

Scientists have created a new kind of time crystal using sound waves to levitate tiny beads in mid-air. These particles interact in a one-sided, unbalanced way, breaking the usual rules of motion and creating a steady, repeating rhythm. The system is ...

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic) may offer unexpected mental health benefits alongside weight loss. A large study found major drops in depression, anxiety, and psychiatric-related hospital visits among users. Even substance use disorders ...

Scientists have finally cracked how mosquitoes decide where to fly--and it's not by following each other. Instead, each insect independently reacts to visual cues and carbon dioxide, zeroing in on humans when both signals align. Dark colors and CO2 . ...

Beavers may be unlikely climate heroes, but new research suggests they could play a powerful role in fighting climate change. By building dams and transforming streams into wetlands, these industrious animals dramatically reshape how carbon moves and ...

Researchers have uncovered the world's oldest known cave art--a 67,800-year-old hand stencil in Indonesia. The unusual, claw-like design hints at early symbolic thinking and possibly spiritual beliefs. This discovery also strengthens the case that .. ...
