Beyond “Safe Levels”: Study Challenges What We Know About Pesticides and Cancer

Pesticide exposure is associated with increased cancer risk and early cellular disruption, especially in heavily exposed communities, calling for new approaches to health risk evaluation. A new study published in Nature Health reports a strong association between environmental exposure to agricultural pesticides and an increased risk of cancer. Researchers from the IRD, Institut Pasteur, the […]

Researchers Have Found a Dietary Compound That Increases Longevity

A largely overlooked plant compound found in common fruits and vegetables is drawing new scientific attention for its potential effects on aging and brain health. A little-known nutrient found in everyday fruits and vegetables may be doing far more in the body than scientists once believed. Researchers from the University of Seville and the University […]

Scientists Create “Optical Tornadoes” That Twist Light Into a Swirling Vortex

Researchers generated stable vortex light in its lowest-energy state using liquid crystal traps and optical confinement. Can light spin like a miniature tornado? Researchers have now shown that it can. Teams from the University of Warsaw, the Military University of Technology, and Institut Pascal CNRS at Université Clermont Auvergne have created so-called optical tornadoes inside […]

Scientists Baffled by Bizarre “Living Fossil” From 275 Million Years Ago

Tanyka amnicola is a newly identified ancient tetrapod known from unusual twisted jawbones adapted for grinding plants. This rare herbivorous “living fossil” helps scientists better understand early evolution and ecosystems in Gondwana. In a dry riverbed in Brazil, deep within a forest near the Amazon, paleontologists uncovered a fossilized jawbone from an unknown ancient animal. […]

500 Million Years Ago, Life Changed Forever: Scientists Reveal the DNA Changes That Helped Animals Move Onto Land

Genetic changes enabled animals to repeatedly adapt from water to land, reshaping life on Earth. The question of how life first moved from water onto land continues to fascinate scientists. Early organisms would have faced entirely new environmental pressures outside aquatic habitats, raising the question of how they managed this transition. In a 2025 study, […]
