Scientists have discovered that ultraheavy atomic nuclei could explain some of the highest-energy cosmic rays ever observed. The particles may come from extreme events such as neutron-star mergers and collapsing massive stars. Scientists may have uncovered a new clue behind the origin of the most energetic particles ever detected in the universe. Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays […]
A Deadly Bird Disease Has Taken Over Hawaiʻi’s Forests
A new study led by a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researcher has found that nearly every forest bird species in Hawaiʻi can help spread avian malaria. The discovery offers a major clue as to why the disease has become so widespread across the islands wherever mosquitoes are present. The research, published in Nature Communications, […]

The Quit-Smoking Tool That’s Beating Patches and Gum
A major review of global smoking cessation research has found that e-cigarettes containing nicotine appear to help people quit smoking more effectively than several other commonly used methods. These include nicotine replacement therapy (nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, etc.), non-nicotine e-cigarettes, and behavioral support programs. The research combined evidence from multiple systematic reviews to provide a […]

Doctors Say Your Ice Pack Might Be Making Injuries Worse
A new study is raising questions about one of the most common injury treatments: ice. Icing a sprained ankle or aching muscle has long been a go to way to ease pain and swelling, but new research suggests it may come with a tradeoff. Over time, icing could slow recovery and make pain last longer. […]
Scientists Discover 43-Foot Sea Reptile Twice the Size of a Great White Shark
A newly identified mosasaur from Texas suggests that some ancient marine predators were larger, more powerful, and possibly more aggressive than previously recognized. Bite marks, broken jaws, and a giant skull from Texas are helping scientists redraw the family tree of one of the ocean’s most fearsome ancient predators. The animal behind the evidence was […]
