New geological evidence suggests that the slow wobble of Earth’s axis may have triggered rapid climate swings during the Late Cretaceous greenhouse world. When audiences watched The Day After Tomorrow, they saw a dramatic Hollywood depiction of sudden climate chaos. The film greatly compresses the timeline, but the underlying idea that Earth’s climate can change […]

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 […]
