| New Discovery Challenges Decades-Old Theory of DNA Damage and Aging |
|
|
2026-05-12 11:31:44 +00:00
 Scientists have discovered that the body’s own immune alarms may play a major role in rapid-aging diseases. New research suggests that reducing the activity of an overactive immune sensor may help restore tissue function in severe genetic disorders, offering a new perspective on aging and DNA damage. The immune system is designed to recognize and [...]

| Scientists Solve 320-Million-Year Mystery of Reptile Skin Armor |
|
|
2026-05-12 07:36:03 +00:00
 Skin bones evolved multiple times in lizards, with goannas showing a rare case of lost armor returning. Bones did not first evolve as structures buried inside the body. Their origins trace back to the skin, appearing soon after the earliest complex animals emerged. Since then, skin bones have appeared repeatedly throughout evolution. Scientists still do [...]

| Hidden Heart Risk Found in 1 in 5 People, Study Warns |
|
|
2026-05-12 04:31:12 +00:00
 A new study identifies the lipoprotein(a) levels linked to the highest risk. New findings from more than 20,000 patients in three major NIH studies show that elevated Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is linked to remaining cardiovascular risk and may call for more aggressive risk reduction. Lp(a) is a cholesterol-carrying particle in the blood. It resembles LDL, often [...]

| New Therapy Rewires the Brain To Restore Joy in Depression Patients |
|
|
2026-05-12 03:21:38 +00:00
 Anhedonia reduces the ability to feel joy and affects nearly 90% of people with major depression. Most conventional therapies do little to treat it. Most people think of depression as a disorder defined by sadness. For millions of patients, however, one of the most disabling symptoms is different: a reduced ability, or complete inability, to [...]

| Researchers Discover Efficient New Way To Split Hydrogen From Water for Energy |
|
|
2026-05-11 19:13:00 +00:00
 Researchers have developed a new catalyst that could make hydrogen production cheaper and more practical for renewable energy systems. Hydrogen has long been viewed as one of the most promising clean fuels because it can store renewable energy and produce no carbon emissions when used. Yet producing hydrogen efficiently and affordably has remained a major [...]

| Popular Sugar-Free Sweetener Linked to Liver Disease, Study Warns |
|
|
2026-05-11 15:32:16 +00:00
 Researchers have uncovered evidence that a common “sugar-free” sweetener may mimic some of fructose’s harmful effects in the body. That “sugar-free” snack in your kitchen may not be as harmless as it looks. Scientists are raising new concerns about sorbitol, a common sweetener used in products marketed as low-calorie or diabetic friendly. New research suggests [...]

| Why Weight Loss Isn’t Enough for Everyone at Risk of Diabetes |
|
|
2026-05-11 14:57:15 +00:00
 Weight loss and exercise are widely considered powerful tools for preventing type 2 diabetes, but new research suggests the benefits may not be the same for everyone. Losing weight and staying active are widely recommended ways to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. But new research suggests that for some people, those efforts may [...]

| What Is Hantavirus? The Deadly Disease Raising Alarm Worldwide |
|
|
2026-05-11 14:22:13 +00:00
 Hantavirus spreads through airborne rodent waste particles and can cause deadly lung or heart failure. Early diagnosis and supportive care are critical because no approved antiviral treatment is available. A cruise ship stranded off the coast of South Africa because of a deadly hantavirus outbreak has drawn global attention to the rare but serious disease. [...]

| Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Came From a Place Nothing Like Our Solar System |
|
|
2026-05-11 11:49:01 +00:00
 A comet from beyond our solar system is giving astronomers a rare look at how alien planetary systems may form under conditions very different from those that shaped our own cosmic neighborhood. The object, called 3I/ATLAS, was discovered less than a year ago as it traveled through our solar system. Although scientists still do not [...]

2026-05-11 11:14:03 +00:00
 A bizarre pair of planets 190 light-years away is forcing astronomers to rethink how planetary systems form. A strange and extremely rare pair of planets is orbiting a star about 190 light-years from Earth, and astronomers think they may finally understand how this cosmic odd couple came to exist. The system contains a hot Jupiter, [...]

| Physicists Solve Major Challenge in Quantum Synchronization |
|
|
2026-05-11 08:11:58 +00:00
 A theoretical study shows how nonreciprocal quantum synchronization could be achieved in real-world systems. Three theoretical physicists at RIKEN have proposed a new way to achieve one-way quantum synchronization in phonons. The method is designed to remain stable even when real-world obstacles, including fabrication flaws and environmental noise, would normally disrupt delicate quantum effects. Many [...]

| Scientists Solve 100-Year-Old Schrödinger Mystery About Color Perception |
|
|
2026-05-11 00:32:17 +00:00
 Scientists have finally cracked the hidden geometry behind how humans perceive color. New research into how humans perceive color differences is helping resolve questions tied to a theory first proposed nearly 100 years ago by physicist Erwin Schrödinger.
