Immune cells flood into the aging brain, Stanford scientists discover
Stanford researchers discovered that immune cells from throughout the body enter the human brain during aging and transform into specialized brain immune cells, challenging decades of scientific assumptions about brain immunity.
Scientists solve the mystery of a brain “switch” that can trigger weight loss in opposite ways
Cambridge researchers found that activating and blocking the same brain receptor both promote weight loss through different mechanisms in different brain regions, offering insights for developing more effective obesity treatments.
A 60-year-old theory about ants, bees and wasps may be wrong
A new study challenges a 60-year-old theory that a genetic system in ants, bees and wasps explains their complex social organization, suggesting other biological traits may be more important.
A 30-year-old fossil was hiding bones from a mysterious ancient sea monster
Researchers uncovered four previously unidentified fossil bones from a mosasaur specimen stored for three decades, including the first confirmed premaxilla from a Japanese mosasaur that may represent a new species.
When gut microbes run low on fiber, they may start eating you
Two studies reveal how plant-based foods reshape gut bacteria metabolism, shifting production toward beneficial compounds while reducing harmful metabolites that may damage health.
Scientists detect a surprising shift in human blood as atmospheric CO2 rises
Rising atmospheric CO2 levels are associated with shifts in blood chemistry markers that track the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, researchers found, raising concerns about long-term population health.
‘A mouse can’t tell us what works’: UK scientists to grow miniature human organs for drug testing
UK scientists are growing miniature human organs from patient cells to improve drug testing and reduce animal use in medical research, with a new Cambridge-based hub receiving £20 million in funding.
A 236-million-year-old fossil could rewrite the story of mammalian birth
A 236-million-year-old cynodont fossil provides the first evidence that some mammalian ancestors may have given birth to live young roughly 95 million years earlier than previously believed.
JWST spots a bizarre “black hole star” 100 billion times brighter than a star
Astronomers using JWST detected an unusually bright red object in the early universe that appears to be a black hole surrounded by a massive hydrogen envelope, producing 100 billion times more energy than ordinary stars.
Vikram-1: India’s first private space rocket by Skyroot to carry diamond flower
Skyroot Aerospace launched Vikram-1, India’s first privately developed orbital rocket, reaching Low Earth Orbit in a 16-minute flight and placing six payloads into space including scientific instruments and symbolic tribute objects.
Dying Sun-like stars may kick themselves through space
A Caltech physicist proposes that aging Sun-like stars experience thousands of small directional pushes as they shed material, causing them to move through space and potentially disrupting companion stars in binary systems.
Scientists found mystery bacteria inside one of the ocean’s most elusive whales
Scientists identified three previously unknown Helicobacter bacterial genotypes in pygmy sperm whales, discovered through analysis of stranded animals along the southeastern United States over two decades.
A hidden “switch-off” signal could predict solar storms seven years early
Scientists have identified a “switch-off” point in solar cycles that could predict the strength of future activity cycles up to seven years in advance by counting sunspots at that specific stage.
Ancient DNA reveals a chilling secret at China’s 4,000-year-old Shimao city
Ancient DNA analysis of 169 samples from Shimao, a 4,000-year-old Chinese settlement, reveals the population’s origins, family structures, and evidence that mass sacrifices predominantly involved men rather than women.
China’s Chang’e-6 reveals why solar wind hits the Moon’s two sides differently
China’s Chang’e-6 mission reveals that Earth’s magnetosphere causes the Moon’s near and far sides to experience solar wind bombardment at different speeds and energies.
Ancient mystery on K’gari as world’s largest sand island lakes dried up during rainy era
Research from the University of Adelaide reveals that K’gari’s freshwater lakes dried out approximately 7,500 years ago during a wetter climate period, challenging assumptions about their resilience.
Sweden’s hidden rare earth deposits could help break China’s grip
Swedish researchers are exploring how the country’s rare earth mineral deposits could support cleaner magnet production and reduce dependence on Chinese manufacturing.
Brain implant helps paralysed man to feed himself and drink from cup
A paralyzed man regained the ability to move his arms and feel touch through a brain-computer interface implant that bypasses his spinal cord injury, with some improvements persisting after the system is turned off.
New giant salamander species discovered in 3.5-million-year-old fossils
Scientists in Japan have identified a previously unknown giant salamander species from 3.5 million-year-old fossils, named Limnospondylus ajimuensis, which may have reached over one meter in length.
Ancient ape fossil in Egypt challenges the story of human origins
Scientists in Egypt have identified a previously unknown fossil ape species from 17-18 million years ago, suggesting North Africa played a crucial role in ape evolution and challenging existing theories about human origins.
China’s Tianwen-1 captures interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS near Mars
China’s Tianwen-1 spacecraft captured images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS passing near Mars from approximately 30 million kilometers away, revealing the object’s tail and surrounding gas cloud.
