Mars may look like a quiet, dusty world, but it’s actually buzzing with hidden electrical activity. Powerful dust storms and swirling dust devils generate static electricity strong enough to spark faint glowing discharges across the planet, triggering chemical reactions that…
A new study reveals that gut bacteria and metabolites may hold the key to detecting serious digestive diseases earlier and more easily. Using AI, scientists found that biomarkers linked to one condition can often predict others, showing these diseases are…
Scientists have taken a major step toward futuristic energy tech by building a working prototype of a quantum battery—one that can charge, store, and release energy using the strange rules of quantum physics instead of chemistry. This tiny, laser-powered device…
The astronauts on NASA’s Artemis 2 mission to the moon reported a burning smell from their Orion spacecraft toilet overnight, but Mission Control isn’t overly concerned. They are over halfway to the moon today.
Humor plays a vital role in helping older adults cope with the challenges of aging and staying socially connected, according to new research.
