A distant giant planet has been hiding clues in its clouds. Now, the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed that its atmosphere changes in a surprising way from morning to evening.

For decades, weight loss has often been reduced to a simple formula: eat less and move more. But as many people know from experience, body weight is far more complex than basic calorie counting.

A snack here, a ready-meal there. Ultra-processed foods are woven into everyday life, often without much thought. However, new research suggests the question is not only whether these foods contain too much sugar, salt or fat. It may also be whether the way food is processed changes its relationship with the brain.

A distant icy object beyond Neptune has revealed a surprising hint of activity, raising a mystery that could change how astronomers think about the smallest worlds at the edge of the Solar System.

Modern octopuses are known as escape artists of the sea, soft-bodied, elusive, and almost impossible to pin down. But a new fossil discovery is challenging that familiar image. Hidden inside ancient rocks, scientists have found rare clues that suggest the early story of octopuses may have been far more dramatic than anyone expected.

Vitamin D may help some people with prediabetes. Research has uncovered the reason it works for some but not others

The Moon’s south pole may be hiding more than ancient darkness. New research suggests its frozen secrets were not created in a single cosmic event, but shaped slowly over billions of years. Some craters kept far more than others, and the reason may change where future lunar explorers search first.

Planetary rovers may seem like bold explorers, but in reality they work under tight limits. On Mars, even simple instructions take minutes to arrive, so every move must be planned carefully. That keeps missions safe, but it also raises a question: if robots move slowly and stop often, how much of another world can we really study?

For years, the standard advice on exercise has sounded simple: move more. But a large new study suggests that message may be missing something important.

Most of us think of sitting as one big category. Too much of it is bad, and that is the end of the story. But research suggests the picture may be more complicated than that,

AI is becoming part of everyday life, but its growing energy demands are putting increasing strain on the hardware behind it, which is why researchers at the University of Cambridge are exploring a new brain-inspired device that could help future AI systems use far less electricity.

We’ve all experienced that post-workout mental clarity - that feeling of being a bit "sharper" after hitting the gym or going for a run. But what is actually happening inside our heads to cause that?

Research gives us an unprecedented look into the brain right after physical activity, and the findings might just change how you view a quick sweat session.

A brilliant star in our nearest galactic neighbor didn’t go out with a bang, it simply faded from sight, leaving scientists to piece together what could make something so massive vanish so quietly.

A long-running study of more than 131,000 adults links moderate caffeinated coffee or tea intake with a slightly lower risk of dementia and slower cognitive decline. Here is what it found, and what it does not prove.

It started with a handful of unusually tiny bones in Spain, and now researchers say they may point to a plant eating dinosaur that does not fit where it is supposed to on the family tree.

Researchers pointed a new instrument at the ramous Ring Nebula

Will we finally be able to answer one of astronomy’s hardest questions: what is most of the matter in the universe made of?

James Webb may have spotted three bizarre, ultra-ancient “dark stars” that aren’t dark at all - objects possibly powered by annihilating dark matter and capable of rewriting how the very first stars (and even early supermassive black holes) came to be.

A young solar system does not just build planets from dust and gas. It can also be shaped by what happens nearby, including the death of a massive star. New research suggests that a supernova at the right distance could quietly change a planet’s ingredients from the start, and that this setup may be more common than scientists once assumed.

Some memories vanish by dinner time. Others stay with us for decades. What decides which is which?
