As the Earth faces unprecedented climate change, a look into the planet's deep past may provide vital insights into what may lie ahead. Knowledge of the natural world millions of years ago is fragmented, but a 15-year study of a

Researchers at CU Anschutz offer new insights into the long-term effects of HSV-1 infection. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), the cause of the common cold sore, can spread into the central nervous system and preferences for certain parts of

Older people experiencing sleepiness and reduced enthusiasm for activities may face an increased risk of a syndrome related to dementia. This study showed a strong association between sleep problems and the development of motoric cognitive risk syndrome, which could lead

Researchers found a unique seismic signal just before the January 2022 eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano, potentially offering early warnings for oceanic eruptions. By analyzing a Rayleigh wave detected 750 kilometers away, scientists suggest that a crustal fracture

New research from Emory University reveals that nasal autoantibodies in COVID-19 patients may help predict disease severity, with potential implications for treatment. COVID-19 symptoms vary widely, from mild to severe. While current virus strains tend to cause milder cases, people

Two recent chemistry studies pinpoint reactions that may link the gut microbiome to the development of Parkinson's disease.

The fossilized leg bone of the terror bird went unidentified for almost 20 years.

The nearby bright star Vega is surrounded by a surprisingly smooth, 100 billion-mile-wide disk of cosmic dust, confirming that it is not surrounded by any exoplanets, JWST images reveal. And scientists cannot explain its lack of alien worlds.

Where are they coming from?

Our brains need it.

NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft sits in its run stall at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California, firing up its engine for the first time. These engine-run tests start at low power and allow the X-59 team

Nearly all pregnant women may be exposed to the estrogen-mimicking toxin ZEN, which is prevalent in food and potentially increasing with climate change. Higher exposure levels correlate with certain diets and lifestyles, prompting calls for both dietary caution and food

Landsat satellites have gone beyond observing Earth’s land by enabling new methods to measure ocean depth in shallow coastal waters. Researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed an algorithm that uses Landsat’s visible-light observations to derive bathymetry—critical for tracking

Penn State researchers found that microplastic levels in freshwater have risen with global plastic production, though they unexpectedly dipped between 2010 and 2020, possibly due to recycling efforts. A new study by an interdisciplinary team from Penn State reveals that
