A new era of lunar exploration has begun as NASA launches four astronauts on Artemis II--the first crewed mission to fly around the Moon in over 50 years. Riding aboard the powerful SLS rocket, the Orion spacecraft is now on a 10-day journey that ...

A deadly parasite responsible for sleeping sickness has been found using a surprisingly precise trick to stay hidden in the human bloodstream. Scientists discovered a protein called ESB2 that acts like a "molecular shredder," cutting up specific ...

Colorectal cancer may carry a unique microbial "fingerprint," setting it apart from other cancers and opening a new frontier in diagnosis and treatment. By analyzing DNA from over 9,000 patients, researchers discovered that only colorectal tumors ...

High in a South American rainforest canopy, scientists have discovered a bizarre new termite species that looks strikingly like a miniature sperm whale. Named Cryptotermes mobydicki, this tiny insect has an elongated head and concealed mandibles that ...

Scientists uncovered a rare baby dinosaur in South Korea and named it Doolysaurus after a famous cartoon character. Using cutting-edge CT scans, they discovered hidden bones--including a skull--inside rock much faster than traditional methods. The .. ...

Millions of people start work before sunrise--but their brains aren't ready for it. A new clinical trial has found that the wake-promoting drug solriamfetol can significantly boost alertness in early-morning shift workers struggling with shift work . ...

Cells aren't as passive as scientists once thought--they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and efficiently. These "cellular winds" push materials to the front of the cell, enabling faster movement and repair. Discovered by .. ...

Old canned salmon turned out to be a time capsule of ocean health. Researchers found that rising levels of tiny parasitic worms in some salmon species suggest stronger, more complete marine food webs. Because these parasites depend on multiple hosts- ...

Hidden within fish DNA are powerful genetic twists that may explain one of nature's biggest mysteries: how new species form so quickly. In Lake Malawi, hundreds of cichlid fish species evolved at lightning speed, and scientists now think "flipped" .. ...

Scientists have finally cracked a long-standing mystery about squid and cuttlefish evolution by analyzing newly sequenced genomes alongside global datasets. The research reveals that these bizarre, intelligent creatures likely originated deep in the ...
