Barnard’s Star is one of the most famous stars in the night sky for astronomers because it is so close to Earth. Located just under six light-years away, it is the second-closest star system after Alpha Centauri. In 2025, scientists confirmed that four small planets orbit this nearby star. Now, a new study has revealed […]

Scientists are paying increasing attention to pollution that comes from vehicle tires. Unlike exhaust emissions, tiny particles released as tires wear down receive much less public attention, yet they are one of the largest sources of microplastic pollution from road traffic. As these particles mix with ozone in the air, they create a chemical called […]

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, affecting millions of older adults worldwide. The disease slowly damages brain cells, causing memory loss, confusion, and problems with thinking and daily activities. Scientists know that changes in the brain begin many years before the first symptoms appear. Because of this, researchers have been searching for […]

Millions of adults have gum disease, but many do not realize that it is more than a dental problem. Gum disease happens when harmful bacteria grow around the teeth and gums. Over time the gums become swollen, sore, and may bleed easily. If the infection continues, bacteria can enter the bloodstream and travel to other […]

For many years scientists have noticed an unusual pattern. Although cannabis often makes people feel hungrier, regular users are frequently found to have lower body weight and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes than non-users. This unexpected observation has become known as the cannabis metabolism paradox. A new study from the University of California, […]

Plastic has become part of everyday life. It is used in food packaging, drink bottles, clothing, household products, cars, and countless other items. As these products wear down, they release tiny pieces of plastic into the environment. Some of these particles are called microplastics, while even smaller ones are known as nanoplastics. These particles are […]

Depression affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide and is expected to become an even greater public health challenge over the coming decades. While many patients improve with antidepressants, counselling, or a combination of both, others continue to struggle despite receiving appropriate treatment. Scientists are therefore developing new therapies that target the brain directly rather […]

Astronomers have discovered a strange and spectacular galaxy that looks like a giant bow and arrow stretching across space. The unusual object, named RAD-BAARG (Bow-And-Arrow Radio Galaxy), has an enormous arc-shaped structure that spans nearly 1.8 million light-years—about 18 times wider than our Milky Way galaxy. What makes this discovery even more special is that […]

High blood pressure is often called a silent condition because many people have it for years without feeling sick. A person may feel completely healthy even while their blood vessels, heart, brain, and kidneys are slowly being damaged. Around the world, high blood pressure is one of the leading causes of heart attacks, strokes, heart […]

For many men diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, one of the biggest concerns is how long treatment will continue working. Although hormone therapy can slow the disease for years, prostate cancer often finds ways to adapt and eventually becomes resistant. Once this happens, treatment becomes more complicated and the risk of disease progression increases. Researchers […]
