Scientists have uncovered how a tiny molecular machine called the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier unlocks the gates to our cells’ powerhouses—an energy-boosting breakthrough that could pave the way for new treatments for cancer, diabetes, and more.
Astronomers have uncovered something unusual happening in our cosmic neighborhood—a small galaxy near the Milky Way is behaving strangely, and no one is quite sure why.
Researchers have successfully created solar cells using simulated lunar dirt, potentially offering astronauts a sustainable energy source without needing to bring heavy materials from Earth.
New research from Brown University reveals surprising insights into why Americans at every economic level have shorter lifespans compared to Europeans.
Have you ever eaten something that made you so sick you couldn't stomach the idea of eating it again? A team of neuroscientists has discovered exactly how the brain creates these strong food aversions after just one bad experience.
Japanese astronomer Tomonori Totani from the University of Tokyo proposed a novel idea to expand on the existing range of methods to search for extraterrestrial life.
Mountain forests are rapidly disappearing, with a loss of 78.1 million hectares (7.1%) of mountain forest worldwide since 2000, an area larger than the US state of Texas or the country of France.
Canadian and UK-based scientists have completed a large-scale study to finally determine whether vitamin D supplements can help prevent the onset of dementia and uncovered some impressive results.
Scientists have long been puzzled by the fact that despite large amounts of plastic waste being dumped directly into the ocean or flowing towards it via rivers, only a small part of it is actually found there.
Research suggests a link between regular visits to urban green spaces, such as parks and community gardens and reduced use of prescription medications.
Time-restricted eating is hot at the moment, as many studies show that it has various health benefits. However, the exact reason why it has so many benefits remains unknown. In a new study, scientists at the Salk Institute tried to uncover this mystery on a molecular level.
Scientists suggested that about 3.4 billion years ago, Mars was hit by an asteroid similar to the one that hit Earth a little over 60 million years ago. It is believed that it hit the red planet in a shallow ocean region, causing a so-called megatsunami.
