Simple light trick reveals hidden brain pathways in microscopic detail

Every tissue in the human body contains exceptionally small fibers that help coordinate how organs move, function and communicate. Muscle fibers guide physical force, intestinal fibers support the motion of the digestive tract, and brain fibers carry electrical signals that allow different regions to exchange information. Together, these intricate fiber…

Small root mutation could make crops fertilize themselves

That is the conclusion reached by Kasper Røjkjær Andersen and Simona Radutoiu, professors of molecular biology at Aarhus University. Their new research highlights an important biological clue that could help reduce agriculture’s heavy reliance on artificial fertilizer. Plants require nitrogen to grow, and most crop species can obtain it only…

New cosmic lens measurements deepen the Hubble tension mystery

Cosmologists are grappling with a major unresolved puzzle: they do not all agree on how fast the universe is expanding, and solving this puzzle could point to new physics. To check for hidden errors in traditional measurements that rely on markers such as supernovae, astronomers continually look for fresh ways…

Astronomers capture sudden black hole blast firing ultra fast winds

Leading X-ray observatories XMM-Newton and XRISM have captured a remarkable and previously unrecorded eruption from a supermassive black hole. Over the course of only a few hours, the intense gravity of this object stirred up extremely fast winds that pushed material outward at an astonishing 60,000 km per second. This…

This surprising discovery rewrites the Milky Way’s origin story

A new investigation is offering fresh insight into how galaxies like the Milky Way take shape, evolve over time, and develop unexpected chemical patterns in their stars. Published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the study examines the origin of a long-standing mystery within the Milky Way: two…

Most of the world isn’t getting enough omega-3

More than three-quarters of the global population aren’t getting enough Omega-3, according to new research from the University of East Anglia, the University of Southampton and Holland & Barrett. The collaborative review highlights that 76 percent of people worldwide are not meeting recommended intakes of EPA and DHA, revealing a…

Single enzyme mutation reveals a hidden trigger in dementia

Why do neurons die in dementia, and can this process be slowed down? A research group led by Prof. Marcus Conrad, Director of the Institute of Metabolism and Cell Death at Helmholtz Munich and Chair of Translational Redox Biology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has reported in Cell…

Stunning blue pigment on a 13,000-year-old artifact surprises scientists

At the Final Paleolithic site of Mühlheim-Dietesheim in Germany, researchers from Aarhus University identified faint blue traces on a stone artifact that dates to roughly 13,000 years ago. After applying a variety of advanced scientific techniques, the team determined that the residue came from azurite, a bright blue mineral pigment…

Fossil brain scans show pterosaurs evolved flight in a flash

A research group led by an evolutionary biologist at Johns Hopkins Medicine reports that giant reptiles living as far back as 220 million years ago may have developed the ability to fly at the very start of their evolutionary history. This contrasts with the ancestors of modern birds, which are…

This rare bone finally settles the Nanotyrannus mystery

For many years, paleontologists have debated whether the single skull used to define the species Nanotyrannus represented a true species or simply a young Tyrannosaurus rex. A new study in Science has now resolved this question. The research shows that Nanotyrannus was nearly fully grown and not a juvenile T.…
