Depression may start with an energy problem in brain cells

Researchers may have identified a promising new approach to diagnosing and treating major depression at its earliest stage, potentially improving the chances of recovery for many patients. Scientists at the University of Queensland partnered with researchers from the University of Minnesota to examine levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – known…

A surprising blood protein pattern may reveal Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s disease affects an estimated 7.2 million Americans age 65 and older, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Current diagnostic tests typically measure the levels of two proteins — amyloid beta (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) — in blood or spinal fluid. While these biomarkers are widely used, they may not…

Cosmic rays turned ancient sand into a geological time machine

Curtin University scientists have developed a new technique to explore the deep history of Australia’s landscapes. The approach could help researchers understand how the environment responds to geological activity and climate shifts, while also offering clues about where valuable mineral deposits may be located. The international research team was led…

400 million-year-old fish fossils reveal how life began moving onto land

Scientists are uncovering new details about some of the earliest fish to inhabit Earth more than 400 million years ago.

Astronomers think they just witnessed two planets colliding

Anastasios (Andy) Tzanidakis was reviewing archived telescope observations from 2020 when he noticed something unusual. A seemingly ordinary star called Gaia20ehk was behaving in a way astronomers rarely see. Located about 11,000 light years from Earth near the constellation Pupis, Gaia20ehk is a stable “main sequence” star similar to our…

Strange chirping supernova confirms long-debated magnetar theory

For many years, astronomers have relied on distant supernovae as cosmic beacons to study the universe and test the laws of physics. But while analyzing one particular stellar explosion, Joseph Farah, a fifth year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara, noticed something entirely unexpected. The supernova appeared to produce a…

A “ghost” great white shark just reignited a Mediterranean mystery

On April 20, 2023, local fishermen accidentally caught a juvenile great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) off the coast of the eastern peninsula. The young shark measured about 210 cm in length and weighed roughly 80-90 kg. Encounters like this are extremely uncommon in the region, prompting scientists to take a…
