High pressure in the deep ocean may squeeze nutrients from sinking “marine snow,” feeding deep-sea microbes and altering how carbon moves through the ocean. For decades, scientists have considered the deep ocean a nutrient-poor environment where microbes survive on scarce resources. New research from the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), however, suggests this view may […]

Chimps Seem To Love Crystals. It Could Solve 780,000-Year-Old Mystery
Chimpanzee experiments suggest early humans were likely fascinated by crystals because of their unique transparency and geometric shapes. Archaeologists have repeatedly uncovered crystals at ancient sites alongside the remains of early humans. Some of these finds date back 780,000 years, yet the stones show no signs of being used as tools, weapons, or jewelry. If […]
Viagra Ingredient Shows Promise for Rare Childhood Brain Disease in Surprising Study
A rare childhood disease with no approved treatment may have an unexpected new therapeutic candidate. Sildenafil, the active ingredient also sold under the brand name Viagra, may help reduce symptoms in people with Leigh syndrome. Researchers report this finding in the journal Cell. The study was led by scientists at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin in […]

First-of-Its-Kind Study Finds Drug Reduces Excessive Sleepiness in Early-Morning Workers
A clinical trial suggests that a wake-promoting drug may help early-morning shift workers overcome the biological challenges of working during hours when the brain expects sleep. Before sunrise, millions of people are already at work. For many of them, the biggest challenge is not motivation. It is biology. Early morning shifts are more common than […]
An Unexpected Planetary Neighbor May Play a Surprising Role in Earth’s Climate Cycles
A seemingly small planetary neighbor may play a larger role in Earth’s climate than previously thought. Mars is only about half the size of Earth and has roughly one tenth of its mass, making it relatively small compared with many planets. Despite this, new research shows that the red planet subtly influences Earth’s orbit and […]
