Scientists Solve 2,700-Year-Old Eclipse Mystery – and Uncover Evidence About the Sun’s Activity

An ancient Chinese eclipse record helped scientists refine Earth’s rotation data and confirm rising solar activity after a prolonged quiet phase. An international team combined historical geography with modern astronomical modeling to reassess what is considered the earliest precisely datable record of a total solar eclipse. By reconstructing how the Sun would have appeared from […]

The Genetics of Living Longer: Study Challenges Decades of Aging Research

Weizmann Institute study finds genetics may account for about 50 percent of human lifespan, more than double previous estimates. What determines how long people live, and how much of their lifespan is influenced by genetics? For many years, scientists believed the genetic contribution to human lifespan was relatively modest compared with other biological traits. Earlier […]

New Pancreatic Cancer Treatment Wipes Out Tumors and Blocks Drug Resistance

A triple drug approach that blocks the KRAS pathway at three points eliminated pancreatic tumors and prevented resistance in mouse models. Existing treatments for pancreatic cancer often stop working within a few months because tumors quickly develop resistance to the drugs. Researchers at Spain’s National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) report that they have prevented this […]

Popular “Miracle” Supplement Linked to Birth Defects

Findings suggest men planning to conceive should be cautious with antioxidant supplements, as excessive intake may affect sperm and early craniofacial development in offspring. Antioxidants are often promoted as powerful supplements that can help prevent chronic illnesses and cancer, treat conditions such as COPD and dementia, and even slow aspects of aging. Because of these […]

Quantum Teleportation Breakthrough Brings the Quantum Internet Closer

First successful demonstration of quantum teleportation between two different quantum dots. An international team of researchers that includes scientists from Paderborn University has achieved a major milestone toward building a future quantum internet. For the first time, the polarization state of a single photon produced by one quantum dot has been successfully transferred to another […]
