A star you can see with the naked eye has kept astronomers guessing for decades with its unusually powerful X-rays. Now, thanks to highly precise observations from Japan's XRISM space telescope, scientists have finally uncovered the source: a hidden ...

Astronomers have narrowed down the cosmic search for life, identifying fewer than 50 rocky planets among thousands of known exoplanets that may have the right conditions to support life. Using new data from ESA's Gaia mission and NASA archives, ...

Nearly half of Americans don't know that processed meat increases colorectal cancer risk, according to a new poll. But once they learn the connection, most support warning labels--suggesting people want clearer information. Experts warn that ...

Balance problems in aging and Parkinson's may come from the body working too hard, not too little. Scientists found that the brain and muscles become overactive during even minor disturbances, yet this actually weakens balance recovery. At the same . ...

Researchers have visualized atoms in motion just before a radiation-driven decay process occurs, revealing a surprisingly dynamic scene. Instead of remaining fixed, the atoms roam and rearrange, directly influencing how and when the decay unfolds. .. ...

Honey bees don't just perform their famous waggle dance to share directions, they actually adjust how well they dance depending on who's watching. Researchers found that when fewer bees pay attention, the dancer becomes less precise as it moves ...

New fathers appear to have fewer mental health diagnoses during pregnancy and the early months after birth. But that early stability does not last. About a year later, depression and stress-related disorders increase significantly, surprising ...

A new neural implant is so small it can rest on a grain of salt, yet it can track and wirelessly transmit brain activity for over a year. It's powered by laser light that safely passes through tissue and communicates using tiny infrared signals. This ...

Scientists have found that your brain separates memories into "what" and "where/when" using two different groups of neurons. One set responds to specific objects or people, while another tracks the context or situation. When you remember something .. ...

Researchers have identified microRNA-93 as a key genetic driver of fatty liver disease and discovered that vitamin B3 can effectively shut it down. This finding suggests a safe, widely available vitamin could become a powerful new treatment.
