Food waste may become a powerful climate tool thanks to tiny reusable beads that capture carbon directly from the air. Keeping global warming below 1.5°C over the long term will require more than major cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. According to climate scenarios outlined in the latest Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate [...]

A self-regulating artificial photosynthesis system makes solar fuel without batteries, offering a simpler and potentially cheaper path to clean energy storage. Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have created a new artificial photosynthesis system that can produce solar fuel more consistently while eliminating the need for battery-based control systems. The advance comes from incorporating a self-regulating [...]

Stonehenge’s giant Altar Stone likely traveled about 700 kilometers from Scotland through a carefully planned human effort. New research from Curtin University is shedding new light on one of Stonehenge’s biggest mysteries: how a massive stone weighing around six tons made its way across Britain thousands of years ago. The focus of the study is [...]

A new nanodisc breakthrough lets scientists see viruses more realistically, revealing hidden clues that could lead to better vaccines. Viruses are highly effective at infecting human cells, largely because of specialized proteins that cover their outer surfaces. These proteins are also a key focus for vaccine design. To study them, scientists often create lab-made versions [...]

A surprising study found that cutting out sugar completely may disrupt the gut microbiome and worsen metabolic health. Cutting sugar out of your diet entirely may not be as beneficial as many people assume. New research in mice suggests that completely eliminating sucrose could have unintended effects on gut health and metabolism. The findings were [...]

Ozempic and similar weight-loss drugs were linked to a striking 30% reduction in breast cancer risk in a study of more than 110,000 women. Popular weight-loss and diabetes medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound may offer an unexpected benefit beyond helping people lose weight. A large new study found that women taking these [...]
