While we might assume they hit the genetic lottery, the truth is more encouraging: looking decades younger isn't about perfect genes—it's often about surprisingly simple daily choices that compound into remarkable results over time.
Tiny shards of plastic called microplastics have been detected accumulating in human brains, but there is not yet enough evidence to say whether this is doing us harm, experts have said.
A year-long study suggests vortioxetine may offer greater improvements in both cognition and mood for people with Alzheimer’s disease and depression compared to other antidepressants, potentially making it a promising treatment option alongside standard Alzhe…
Scientists have identified a natural compound combination that reverses aging-related brain cell decline and removes harmful Alzheimer’s-linked proteins.
Starting the day with a bowl of papaya is always a good idea. Wondering why? Well, papaya is a nutrient-rich tropical fruit known for its digestive, immune-boosting, and skin-enhancing properties. It contains papain, an enzyme that aids digestion and prevents…
We all have those moments when we forget the purpose of us walking into that room, or spend way too much time trying to remember a name that just seems out of reach. While these moments are common, they don’t have to be permanent. Small, everyday, thoughtful …
To our immune system, naked RNA is a sign of a viral or bacterial invasion and must be attacked. But our own cells also have RNA. To ward off trouble, our cells clothe their RNA in sugars, Vijay Rathinam and colleagues at the UConn School of Medicine and Ryan…
Touted as a wellness hack by celebrities, ‘encapsulation’ has become good business for firms offering a surprising array of services. Doctors are not impressed
WA has confirmed its first locally acquired malaria case in Pierce County, prompting health teams to do further digging about the region's mosquito population.
Scientists have found that there is an acceleration in the aging of the body's organs and tissues around a specific turning point between ages 45 and 55 .
An anti-nausea drug may reduce recurrence and death in aggressive breast cancer. Scientists are exploring its broader use in oncology. A recent study has identified a link between a widely used anti-nausea drug and improved outcomes for women with early-stage…
Blood biomarkers might signal Alzheimer’s risk long before symptoms emerge, offering a possible tool for early prevention. A study based on data from the Finnish population reveals that indicators of Alzheimer’s disease can be present in the brain as early as…
Recent studies reveal a critical link between adenomas and serrated polyps and the rising risk of bowel cancer, emphasizing the need for early detection and regular screenings.
Female brains process past mistakes differently, shaped by a specific RNA. This could explain sex-based differences in depression risk and decision-making. A type of RNA that has historically received little attention has now been found to play a key role in …
A stroke is seen as a sudden event, like a bolt from the blue. But the truth is, the body usually tries to send a warning long before the damage is done. These warnings are not always dramatic, and they’re certainly not the typical signs shown in TV ads. Inst…
As more people aged 45-49 are getting screened for colon cancer, more early stage diagnoses are being made, according to new research from the American Cance...
A Russian cosmonaut was outside the International Space Station (ISS) on a spacewalk when he spotted a weird 'blob', and you'll never guess what it was
IN A NUTSHELL 🔬 Researchers at MIT have developed a groundbreaking imaging system using light-triggered sound waves to see deeper into the brain. 📈 The new technology images brain tissue up to five times deeper than traditional methods without using dyes or…
IN A NUTSHELL 🚀 Astrophysicist Cosimo Bambi proposes a mission to send a gram-scale probe to a black hole 20 light-years away. 💡 The mission involves a nanocraft accelerated by powerful lasers to reach its destination within 70 years. 💰 Significant financi…
New research reveals that reducing cysteine, an amino acid, can flip fat from storage mode to calorie-burning mode. In both human trials and animal studies, lower cysteine levels sparked the transformation of white fat into heat-producing brown fat, resulting…

Although humanity is getting better at sending robotic probes out into the Solar System to explore the places no human can tread, we're still very much on a learning curve.
Base officials say the launch window for the Falcon 9 rocket carrying 24 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit will begin at 7:05 p.m. and continue through 11:05 p.m. Monday.
Just as ocean waves shape our shores, ripples in space-time may have once set the Universe on an evolutionary path that led to the cosmos as we see it today.
Scientists say they have at last solved the mystery of what killed more than 5 billion sea stars off the Pacific coast of North America in a decade-long epidemic.
So much for heliocentrism. An international team of astronomers using observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope have found evidence that there's ...
Earlier this year, astronomers spotted a mysterious interstellar object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, hurtling through the solar system at a blistering speed. It's only ...
Scientists apparently underestimated the aggression of itty-bitty male fiddler crabs when they deployed a friendly robot version during mating season. In a...
It's August, which means Hot Science Summer is two-thirds over. This week, NASA released an exceptionally pretty photo of Mars, a sharp panorama color altered to make the sky blue (???). California health authorities are warning hunters and trappers about con…
Motherhood is one of nature’s most selfless and beautiful instincts, and not only humans but other animals too experience it. Here are 7 animals that are known to adopt babies if other species, and it shows that their love has no bounds:
Venus and Jupiter will meet in a conjunction in the early morning hours of Aug. 12. Here's everything you need to know to spot the two brightest planets at their best.
A brainstem region helps punctuate memories. Stress may block its ability to mark new experiences. Although life unfolds in a continuous flow, our memories don’t capture it that way. We don’t recall the past as one seamless timeline but rather as a sequence o…
On Tuesday, August 5, 2025, Earth completed its rotation slightly more slowly than usual, making the day fractionally longer. While the difference was imperceptible to people, scientists say the cause offers important clues about the forces influencing our pl…
Greek doctor and philosopher Hippocrates once said (loosely translated), "life is short, and art is long." History is littered with quotes from great thinkers with the same idea: art endures. But limitations remain. Classic works get lost or changed as they p…
