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.
You might not now this but the simple act of chewing has a big impact on your brain health. In this article, we explore why texture and oral care matter so much.
Chemists at University College London (UCL) have found a way to show how two of life’s essential ingredients—RNA and amino acids—might have come together nearly four billion years ago.
Astronomers have directly observed a planet in the act of forming around a youthful analogue of the Sun, offering a rare look at how giant worlds assemble.
Astronomers have detected complex organic molecules in a disc of gas and dust surrounding a young star. - This discovery raises a fascinating possibility: the building blocks of life might have formed in space long before planets like Earth even existed.
Modern space exploration mostly relies on shipments from Earth, but these rarely include fresh fruits or vegetables. Having reliable sources of fresh food—rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fibre—could help keep astronauts healthy on long missions.
Ever wonder why you still feel tired, irritable, or unable to concentrate, even after a full night’s sleep? Studies suggest the culprit could be your night-time exposure to artificial light—from smartphones, tablets, computers, and LED lights.
For a long time, scientists believed this was how fish rested. Surprisingly, research reveals that this seemingly effortless behaviour actually uses almost twice as much energy as genuine rest.
A new study shows teenagers spend over 20% of their drive time looking at their phones, despite knowing the dangers. Experts say simple steps could help keep young drivers, and everyone on the road, safer.
What changed Mars from a potentially habitable world into the barren planet we see today? Scientists at the University of Chicago have taken a significant step toward understanding this mystery.
Researchers have developed advanced materials capable of naturally cooling buildings, significantly reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills.
Researchers have developed a 3D-printed sponge-like material that uses sunlight to turn seawater into drinkable water, no electricity required. This new aerogel could make clean water cheaper and more accessible for communities worldwide.
Scientists at the University of Manchester and The Australian National University have created a new molecule that may soon enable ultra-compact hard drives about the size of a postage stamp by allowing data to be stored at 100 times the density of current technologies.
