Baker's yeast isn't just useful in the kitchen -- it may also be built for space. Researchers found that yeast cells can survive intense shock waves and toxic chemicals similar to those on Mars. The cells protect themselves by forming special stress ...

A new international study points to a specific brain network as the core driver of Parkinson's disease. Scientists found that this network becomes overly connected, disrupting not just movement but also thinking and other bodily functions. When ...

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that constantly "sense" their surroundings to survive and thrive. New research shows that beneficial gut microbes, especially common Clostridia bacteria, can detect a surprisingly wide range of chemical ...

Researchers have found a surprising way to turn sunflower oil waste into a powerful bread upgrade. By replacing part of wheat flour with partially defatted sunflower seed flour, breads became dramatically richer in protein, fiber, and antioxidants- . ...

Scientists at the University of Warwick have cracked a long-standing problem in air pollution science: how to predict the movement of irregularly shaped nanoparticles as they drift through the air we breathe. These tiny particles -- from soot and ...

Scientists have uncovered promising clues that compounds found in Aloe vera could play a role in fighting Alzheimer's disease. Using advanced computer modeling, researchers discovered that beta-sitosterol--a natural plant compound--strongly interacts ...

Scientists have identified a promising new compound, Mic-628, that can reliably shift the body's internal clock forward--something that's notoriously hard to do. By targeting a key clock-control protein, Mic-628 jump-starts the gene that sets daily . ...

A colossal ancient impact may have reshaped the Moon far more deeply than scientists once realized. By analyzing rare lunar rocks brought back by China's Chang'e-6 mission from the Moon's largest crater, researchers found unusual chemical ...

Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly incompatible views of how exotic particles behave inside quantum matter. In some cases, an impurity moves through a sea of particles . ...

What a mother eats during pregnancy may quietly shape her child's liver health years down the road--but new research suggests there may be a way to tip the odds back in a healthier direction. Scientists found that a natural compound made by healthy . ...
