A pilot study suggests confining meals to a nine-hour window and avoiding food four hours before bed may help protect cognitive abilities in older women with overweight or obesity.

New research suggests Jupiter’s stronger magnetic field created conditions that preserved multiple large moons, while Saturn’s weaker field allowed only Titan to survive, explaining their different moon systems.

Scientists studying African lake fly larvae found they survive extreme underwater pressures using air sacs made of resilin, forcing researchers to reconsider why insects are absent from the ocean.

Researchers have discovered an atmosphere around an Earth-like exoplanet 49 light years away in its star’s habitable zone, marking the first confirmed atmospheric detection around a rocky planet in such a region.

Researchers in Egypt identified a previously unknown fossil ape species dating back 17-18 million years, suggesting North Africa played a crucial role in early ape evolution and challenging existing theories about ape origins.

China’s Tianwen-1 spacecraft captured images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS passing near Mars from approximately 30 million kilometers away, revealing the object’s tail and gas cloud.

Archaeologists in southern England identified a 500,000-year-old hammer made from elephant bone, the oldest known such tool found in Europe, revealing sophisticated toolmaking abilities of ancient humans.

The UK government has withdrawn funding for Jodrell Bank Observatory, the country’s largest telescope facility, forcing the University of Manchester to seek alternative financing before 2028.

Environmental groups warn that orbital datacenters proposed by SpaceX and Blue Origin would release dangerous pollution levels that could alter Earth’s atmosphere and be catastrophic for the planet.

University of Michigan researchers used AI to analyze over 170,000 skeletal measurements from bird specimens, revealing that songbird evolution occurred in rapid bursts coinciding with major climate shifts rather than at a steady pace.

Scientists used ultrafast X-ray pulses to observe how energy moves through a molecule after absorbing light, revealing that different atoms register distinct aspects of the chemical transformation at the atomic scale.

A garden in Kent has become a successful micro-reserve, hosting about 25% of the UK’s butterfly species across 16 different types, compared to typical gardens with only 5-10 species.
