A black hole caught feeding on a nearby star kept spitting matter into space even after its outburst nearly faded away. Astronomers led by the University of Warwick have uncovered new details about how black holes consume and expel matter. Their observations suggest that even faint black holes are not simple bottomless pits. Instead, they […]
Beetroot Juice May Ease Pregnancy’s Strain on the Kidneys
Daily beetroot juice showed early signs of safely supporting pregnant women with chronic kidney disease. For a pregnant woman with chronic kidney disease (CKD), protecting her own kidneys can become harder just as her body is supporting a developing baby. Many kidney treatments are considered unsafe during pregnancy, often requiring medication to be paused for […]

Tick Found in Austin Apartment Linked to Rare Relapsing Fever
A likely urban case of soft tick-borne relapsing fever shows that infected ticks may be present inside Texas homes. While sitting inside an Austin apartment, a resident discovered an engorged tick attached to their ankle. Testing later connected the tick to a likely case of soft tick-borne relapsing fever (STRF), raising concerns that infected soft […]
Ozempic Changes Your Body, but Does It Change Your Life? A New Study Suggests Not
Research by a University of Chicago economist found no measurable changes in mood, employment, or marriage among people taking medications such as Ozempic. GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic can help people with Type 2 diabetes control blood sugar, lower cardiovascular risk, and, in many cases, lose substantial weight. Yet those medical gains raise another question: […]
Super-Deep Diamond Reveals How Water Travels to the Earth’s Interior
A stone analyzed at the Sirius particle accelerator supports the hypothesis that the mineral goethite can carry water from the planet’s surface into rocks in the lower mantle. A microscopic pocket sealed inside a diamond only 3 millimeters long may record how water travels from Earth’s surface into the planet’s deep interior. A Brazilian research […]

Ancient Super-Eruptions May Have Frozen Earth for Centuries
Some of history’s most powerful eruptions may have plunged Earth into centuries of sustained cooling. A volcanic eruption can darken skies and cool the planet for a year or two. New research suggests that some of the largest eruptions did something far more powerful: they pushed Earth into cold spells that lasted for centuries. The […]
