Toxic metals found in bananas after Brazil mining disaster

Researchers in soil science, environmental engineering, and public health from the University of São Paulo (USP), the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES) in Brazil, and the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain investigated whether crops grown near the Doce River estuary are safe to eat. The area in…

Ancient DNA solves 12,000-year-old mystery of rare genetic growth disorder

An international team led by the University of Vienna and Liège University Hospital Centre has uncovered genetic changes linked to a rare inherited growth disorder in two people who lived more than 12,000 years ago. By combining ancient DNA testing with modern clinical genetics, the researchers diagnosed the condition in…

Ultra-fast pulsar found near the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole

Scientists at Columbia University working with Breakthrough Listen, a research initiative focused on searching for signs of civilizations beyond Earth, have reported new findings from the Breakthrough Listen Galactic Center Survey. This project represents one of the most sensitive radio investigations ever carried out to search for pulsars in the…

Scientists discover brain switches that clear Alzheimer’s plaques

Scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan have identified two brain receptors that help regulate the breakdown of amyloid beta, the protein that builds up in Alzheimer’s disease. Their findings suggest it may be possible to develop future medications that are both…

Mysterious RNA led scientists to a hidden layer of cancer

The journey began with T3p, a small RNA molecule detected in breast cancer but not in normal tissue. When it was first described in 2018, it stood out as unusual. That initial finding launched a six-year effort to systematically identify similar orphan non-coding RNAs (oncRNAs) across major cancer types, determine…

The surprisingly simple flaw that can undermine quantum encryption

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a cutting edge method for protecting communications using the laws of quantum mechanics. It allows two parties to create a shared secret key even if someone is secretly monitoring the connection. The strength of QKD lies in the physics itself. Any attempt to intercept the…

Nearly 200,000 people reveal the real key to heart health

A new study published in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology, suggests that the type of foods people choose on a low-carbohydrate or low-fat diet may be more important than simply cutting carbs or fat. Researchers found that when these diets focused on nutrient-dense, wholesome foods,…

Massive magma surge sparked 28,000 Santorini earthquakes

At the start of 2025, Santorini and nearby parts of the Aegean Sea were rattled by tens of thousands of earthquakes. Scientists have now determined what caused the intense shaking. In a study published in Nature, researchers from GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences and GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research…
