Scientists discover the brain’s hidden “stop scratching” switch

When an itch strikes, scratching usually brings relief after a few moments. Scientists have now uncovered part of the biological system that tells the brain when enough scratching has occurred. The discovery reveals how the nervous system naturally limits scratching and may help explain why this process breaks down in…

Scientists stunned as volcano cloud destroys methane in the atmosphere

In January 2022, the underwater volcano Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai in the South Pacific produced one of the most powerful eruptions in modern history. But scientists have now discovered that the eruption also triggered an unexpected atmospheric reaction that partially removed methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from the air. Researchers say…

Antarctica is melting from below and scientists say it’s worse than expected

New research suggests global sea levels could rise more quickly than scientists previously expected because Antarctic ice shelves may be melting from below at a much faster rate than once believed. Ice shelves are massive floating extensions of glaciers that help slow the movement of enormous amounts of ice into…

Scientists reversed liver aging with young gut bacteria in stunning study

Scientists may have discovered a powerful new link between the gut microbiome, aging, and liver cancer. New research presented at Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2026 suggests that restoring gut bacteria to a more youthful state could help protect the liver, reduce age related damage, and potentially lower cancer risk. The…

Black licorice compound shows promise against inflammatory bowel disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects millions of people worldwide, and current treatments often fail to provide lasting relief. Now, researchers have developed a new stem cell-based model of the human intestine that could help scientists discover more effective therapies. Their findings, published in Stem Cell Reports, point to glycyrrhizin, a…

Scientists just sent unhackable quantum keys across 120 kilometers

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is widely considered the most advanced form of quantum cryptography, offering a path toward virtually unbreakable security for the future quantum internet. One promising technology behind these secure systems involves semiconductor quantum dots (SQDs), tiny solid-state light sources capable of generating high-quality single photons for quantum…

The hidden atomic gap that could break next-generation computer chips

For decades, smaller and more powerful electronic components have fueled major advances in technology. Now scientists are searching for the next breakthrough in computer chip design, and many researchers believe 2D materials could play a key role. These ultrathin materials, made from just one or a few atomic layers, have…
