A common oral bacterium tied to gum disease may help spark and fuel breast cancer, according to new research. Scientists discovered it can travel through the bloodstream to breast tissue, where it ...

A decades-old superconducting mystery just took a surprising turn. Strontium ruthenate, a material that conducts electricity with zero resistance at low temperatures, has long puzzled scientists with ...

Scientists have uncovered a powerful new clue in the mystery of brain aging: a single protein called FTL1. In aging mice, higher levels of this protein weakened connections between brain cells and led ...

WASHINGTON, D.C.— This week, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) introduced the ‘Home Team Act’—a bill that could sabotage plans to bring the Chicago Bears to Hammond, ...

A strange new kind of superconductivity has been uncovered in uranium ditelluride (UTe2), where electricity flows with zero resistance—but only under extremely strong magnetic fields that should ...

A widely used sugar substitute found in everything from keto snacks to diet drinks may not be as harmless as it seems. New research shows that erythritol can disrupt brain blood vessel cells, reducing ...

Evolutionary Adaptations to Dietary Alcohol This research is part of a broader five-year National Science Foundation project aimed at collecting genetic data from hummingbirds and sunbirds to ...

Researchers have created “Smart Underwear,” a wearable device that measures flatulence by detecting hydrogen produced by gut microbes. Early tests suggest people may pass gas about 32 times a day—much ...

Researchers have uncovered a new way to generate exotic oscillation states in tiny magnetic structures—using only minimal energy. By exciting magnetic waves, they triggered a delicate motion that ...

A new blood test could change the outlook for one of the deadliest cancers—pancreatic cancer—by catching it much earlier than ever before. Researchers identified two previously unknown proteins in the ...

Gold and other heavy elements are born in some of the universe’s most violent events—but scientists still struggle to understand the nuclear steps that create them. Now, nuclear physicists have ...

Having both excess belly fat and low muscle mass isn’t just unhealthy—it’s potentially deadly, raising the risk of death by 83%. This condition, called sarcopenic obesity, creates a vicious cycle ...
