A groundbreaking study suggests that the famous Cambrian explosion--the dramatic burst of diverse animal life--might have actually started millions of years earlier than we thought. By analyzing ancient trace fossils, researchers uncovered evidence . ...

Zooplankton like copepods aren't just fish food--they're carbon-hauling powerhouses. By diving deep into the ocean each winter, they're secretly stashing 65 million tonnes of carbon far below the surface, helping fight climate change in a way ...

Misbehaving T cells light up long before Parkinson's symptoms show, zeroing in on vulnerable brain proteins. Their early surge could double as an alarm bell and a target for stop-it-early treatments.

Researchers in Japan created an AI that can detect fatty liver disease from ordinary chest X-rays--an unexpected and low-cost method that could transform early diagnosis. The model proved highly accurate and may offer a fast, affordable way to flag . ...

At Flinders University, scientists have cracked a cleaner and greener way to extract gold--not just from ore, but also from our mounting piles of e-waste. By using a compound normally found in pool disinfectants and a novel polymer that can be reused ...

Researchers have achieved a major breakthrough by generating quantum spin currents in graphene--without relying on bulky magnetic fields. By pairing graphene with a magnetic material, they unlocked a powerful quantum effect that allows electrons to . ...

Imagine detecting a single trillionth of a gram of a molecule--like an amino acid--using just electricity and a chip smaller than your fingernail. That's the power of a new quantum-enabled biosensor developed at EPFL. Ditching bulky lasers, it taps . ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking technique called RAVEN that can capture the full complexity of an ultra-intense laser pulse in a single shot--something previously thought nearly impossible. These pulses, capable of accelerating particles . ...

Cats overwhelmingly choose to sleep on their left side, a habit researchers say could be tied to survival. This sleep position activates the brain's right hemisphere upon waking, perfect for detecting danger and reacting swiftly. Left-side snoozing . ...

Swap steaks for spinach and you might watch the scale plummet. In a 16-week crossover study, overweight adults who ditched animal products for a low-fat vegan menu saw their bodies become less acidic and dropped an average of 13 pounds--while the ...
