New research shows that burning plastic is more common as an everyday energy source than previously understood, raising serious global concerns for health, social inequality, and the environment. For some families, plastic waste is not only something to throw away. It can become fuel for cooking, heat, fire starting, or keeping insects away when safer […]
Alzheimer’s May Start With a Surprising Symptom – Not Memory Loss
New research suggests the brain may lose its ability to adjust to change before the first obvious memory symptoms appear. What if Alzheimer’s disease first reveals itself not through memory loss, but through an inability to adapt? New research from Texas A&M Health suggests the brain’s capacity to change course, learn new rules, and adjust […]
Archaeologists May Have Been Wrong About Olive Oil for Decades, New Study Finds
Mediterranean soil chemistry may have caused archaeologists to overidentify olive oil in ancient pottery. For archaeologists, a trace of olive oil inside an ancient pot can do more than identify a meal. It can point to trade networks, farming choices, household routines and the economic power of one of the Mediterranean’s most important products. But […]

Scientists Discover an Alarming Trend Climate Models Are Missing
North Pacific winter storm paths are moving toward the North Pole faster than scientists expected. In Alaska, glaciers are losing about 60 billion tons of ice each year. Farther south, across California and Nevada, heat and dryness records are falling, leaving landscapes more prone to wildfire. These changes may seem separate, but both are tied […]
Rethinking Movement Disorders: Scientists Uncover a Surprising Disconnect Deep Inside the Brain
Scientists discovered that a key brain signal may have been pointing researchers in the wrong direction, potentially changing how movement disorders are studied and treated. A new study from a Virginia Tech neuroscientist at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC is prompting researchers to rethink a basic assumption about how chronic movement disorders are […]
