Everyone thought autism mostly affected boys. This study says otherwise

Autism has traditionally been regarded as a condition that mainly affects males. A large study from Sweden published by The BMJ now suggests that autism may occur at similar rates in males and females.

Methane spiked after 2020 and the cause was unexpected

Methane concentrations in the atmosphere climbed at an unprecedented pace in the early 2020s due to a combination of weaker natural removal and rising emissions from warming wetlands, rivers, lakes, and agricultural areas. An international group of researchers reports these findings in the journal Science, pointing to changes in both…

Scientists find genes that existed before all life on Earth

Every organism alive today traces its lineage back to a single shared ancestor that lived about four billion years ago. Scientists refer to this organism as the “last universal common ancestor,” and it represents the earliest form of life that can currently be examined using established evolutionary methods. Research on…

This common tomato nutrient may help prevent severe gum disease

A recent study suggests that older Americans who do not get enough lycopene in their diets face a much higher risk of developing severe periodontitis. The analysis focused on U.S. adults ages 65 to 79 and found that risk levels varied by both race and sex. The findings were published…

A simple discovery is shaking the foundations of spintronics

One of the most striking findings in spintronics is unusual magnetoresistance (UMR). In this effect, the electrical resistance of a heavy metal changes when it is placed next to a magnetic insulator and the direction of magnetization rotates within a plane perpendicular to the flow of electric current. This behavior…

Known as the Milano Cortina Games, the 2026 Olympics are spread across a wide area rather than…

New research reveals humans could have as many as 33 senses

When we spend hours focused on screens, it is easy to forget that our bodies are constantly processing far more than images and noise. Yet our senses are always active. When we slow down or become more aware, we notice the texture of surfaces, the tension in our muscles, or…
