Astronomers from MIT have uncovered a dramatic celestial spectacle: a Mercury-sized exoplanet that is rapidly disintegrating as it orbits perilously close to its star. The small and rocky lava world sheds an amount of material equivalent to the mass of Mount Everest every 30.5 hours. The planet, located 140 light-years away, completes an orbit every […]

Researchers Warn: Vegan Diets May Lack Key Nutrients
In a New Zealand study, 75% of vegans consumed enough protein overall, but only half met the recommended daily intake for lysine and leucine. A new study from Massey University in New Zealand, published in PLOS ONE on April 16, 2025, examined the protein intake of individuals following long-term vegan diets. The researchers, led by […]

Slipping Past Filters: Microplastics Are Infiltrating Drinking Water Worldwide
A new study from UT Arlington reveals that wastewater treatment plants continue to fall short in eliminating hazardous microplastics. Despite improvements in wastewater treatment technologies, microplastics, tiny plastic particles less than five millimeters in size, are still escaping into the environment, according to recent research from The University of Texas at Arlington. These persistent pollutants […]
New Study Shows How a Rare Genetic Error Disrupts Brain Development in Autism
Scientists found a genetic link between autism and DM1, where repeat DNA sequences disrupt brain gene splicing. This sheds light on ASD’s development and opens new paths for targeted treatments. Researchers from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) have identified a genetic connection between autism spectrum disorder […]

They Blew Up Tissues – And Found a Hidden World of Molecules
Scientists have developed an innovative technique that combines expansion microscopy with mass spectrometry imaging to visualize hundreds of biomolecules in intact tissues at single-cell resolution. This breakthrough could transform our understanding of biological processes like aging and disease by revealing the molecular layout within tissues. With no need for specialized equipment, the method is easy […]
