Phys.org / Cut marks on 1.6 million-year-old bones reveal early humans moved prized meat
There is an old adage that goes, "you are what you eat," meaning that the food you consume helps build your body and fuel your mind. The same is true now as it ever was. When it comes to early humans, studying what they ate ...
Phys.org / A 'super El Niño?' Why it's too early to forecast one with certainty, but not too soon to prepare
Talk of a "super El Niño" developing in 2026 is gaining momentum, with concerns rising that this climate pattern could bring extreme rainfall, heat, drought and destructive flooding around the world.
Medical Xpress / Screening modestly reduces prostate cancer deaths, review finds
Blood tests to detect potential signs of prostate cancer likely reduce the risk of dying from prostate cancer, an updated review finds. This is a shift from the previous version of the review, which did not find sufficient ...
Phys.org / Seeing the invisible: The limits of two-photon vision
Near-infrared light is invisible to humans. And yet, under the right conditions, the human eye can perceive it. Researchers from Poland's International Center for Translational Eye Research (ICTER) have now shown that the ...
Phys.org / Statistical technique could uncover secrets of 'ringing' black holes
Researchers have developed a technique to analyze how black holes "ring" when they collide and merge: one of the universe's most dramatic events. When black holes merge, the collision produces a new, larger black hole that ...
Phys.org / Meet the whistling mice that use inflatable air sacs to sing
Mice do more than just squeak when they want to make a noise. They can also sing. And the way they do it is different from most mammals that produce sounds by vibrating their vocal cords. When Alston's singing mouse (Scotinomys ...
Science X / 60 years of data reveal the biggest source of workplace stress

Medical Xpress / Myelin emerges as an active regulator of brain plasticity, not only a structural insulator
A study by Professor Carlos Matute of the EHU reinforces a paradigm shift in neuroscience: Myelin goes from being a structural element to being an active component of brain function. Published in Trends in Molecular Medicine, ...
Phys.org / JWST spots two early black holes growing far faster than their galaxies
Astronomers have discovered two early-universe galaxies where the central black holes appear to have grown far faster than their host galaxies. Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal that the black ...
Phys.org / From molecules to meaning: A search engine developed for the chemistry of life
An international team led by researchers at University of California San Diego and University of California, Riverside has developed a free, web-based platform designed to make public metabolomics data more accessible. By ...
Medical Xpress / Illegal gold mining causes surges in malaria in the Amazon, and the association is far worse than suspected
Gold prices are at an all-time high, and we are very worried. As disease ecologists, it's not the economic instability that concerns us, but the fact that a surge in gold mining could have a devastating impact on human health.
