Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have uncovered surprising evidence about how enormous “super Jupiter” planets are born. The discovery blurs the line between massive planets and brown dwarfs, the objects often called failed stars. Giant Gas Planets Push the Limits of Planet Formation Gas giants are enormous planets made mostly of hydrogen and […]
The Universe’s Most Powerful Particles May Be Even Stranger Than Scientists Thought
Scientists have discovered that ultraheavy atomic nuclei could explain some of the highest-energy cosmic rays ever observed. The particles may come from extreme events such as neutron-star mergers and collapsing massive stars. Scientists may have uncovered a new clue behind the origin of the most energetic particles ever detected in the universe. Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays […]
A Deadly Bird Disease Has Taken Over Hawaiʻi’s Forests
A new study led by a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researcher has found that nearly every forest bird species in Hawaiʻi can help spread avian malaria. The discovery offers a major clue as to why the disease has become so widespread across the islands wherever mosquitoes are present. The research, published in Nature Communications, […]

The Quit-Smoking Tool That’s Beating Patches and Gum
A major review of global smoking cessation research has found that e-cigarettes containing nicotine appear to help people quit smoking more effectively than several other commonly used methods. These include nicotine replacement therapy (nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, etc.), non-nicotine e-cigarettes, and behavioral support programs. The research combined evidence from multiple systematic reviews to provide a […]

Doctors Say Your Ice Pack Might Be Making Injuries Worse
A new study is raising questions about one of the most common injury treatments: ice. Icing a sprained ankle or aching muscle has long been a go to way to ease pain and swelling, but new research suggests it may come with a tradeoff. Over time, icing could slow recovery and make pain last longer. […]
