The Maya Civilization, from Central America, was one of the most advanced ancient civilizations, known for its significant achievements in astronomy and mathematics. This includes accurate calendars and detailed celestial records, but scientists don’t fully understand all the details of…

A new space debris removal project, ALBATOR, plans to tackle the growing debris problem in orbit.

Europe has just run its most extreme space weather simulation yet — a scenario so severe that no spacecraft was left unscathed.

Researchers have uncovered microbial evidence in the remains of Napoleon’s soldiers from the 1812 Russian retreat. Genetic analysis revealed pathogens behind paratyphoid and relapsing fever, diseases likely contributing to the army’s massive losses. Using advanced DNA sequencing, the team pieced…

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists at Trinity College Dublin have identified a “universal thermal performance curve” that governs how all living organisms respond to temperature. This finding reveals that evolution has been unable to escape a single, unifying rule linking…

Researchers found that neurons can use fat, not just sugar, to power the brain. When a protein called DDHD2 fails, this process breaks down and leads to serious brain problems. Scientists were able to restore damaged cells by feeding them…

Japanese researchers discovered that hair graying and melanoma share a surprising cellular origin. When DNA damage strikes melanocyte stem cells, they may undergo a protective process called seno-differentiation, leading to hair graying. However, carcinogens can override this safeguard, allowing the…
