Research in Finland reveals that cutting discretionary foods and rebalancing protein sources could substantially reduce environmental impacts while improving diet quality. A significant portion of the environmental footprint linked to food purchases in Finland comes from discretionary items that are often low in nutritional value. At the same time, households appear to allocate similar amounts […]
Scientists Create Powerful New Form of Aluminum That Could Replace Rare Earth Metals
Researchers have uncovered an unusual new form of aluminium that challenges long-held assumptions about how this common metal behaves. Researchers at King’s College London have identified an unusual new form of aluminum, one of the most abundant metals in Earth’s crust. The discovery points to a much less expensive and more sustainable substitute for rare […]
After Earth’s Greatest Extinction, These Sea Monsters Conquered the Oceans
Lost fossils reveal that some of the first ocean predators went global astonishingly fast after Earth’s worst extinction. Roughly 250 million years ago, a part of northwestern Australia that is now an arid desert sat beside a shallow bay connected to a vast prehistoric ocean. Fossils collected from this area more than 60 years ago […]

Scientists Just Solved the Mystery of Triceratops’ Giant Nose
Triceratops’ enormous nose may have been a built-in cooling system for its massive head. Triceratops and other horned dinosaurs had remarkably large nasal cavities compared with most animals. To understand what filled that space, researchers, including a team from the University of Tokyo, examined CT scans of fossilized Triceratops skulls and compared them with the […]
New Toothpaste Stops Gum Disease Without Harming Healthy Bacteria
Researchers have developed a targeted approach to combat periodontitis without disrupting the natural balance of the oral microbiome. The innovation could reshape how gum disease is treated while preserving beneficial bacteria. The human mouth contains a remarkably complex community of more than 700 bacterial species, yet only a small fraction are responsible for periodontitis. These […]

Scientists Uncover Hidden Weakness in Cancer Cells Tied to Vitamin B7
Why do some anti-glutamine therapies fail? A new study uncovers a hidden metabolic workaround involving pyruvate, biotin, and mutations in the FBXW7 gene. Scientists at the University of Lausanne (Unil) have uncovered a cellular mechanism that reveals a hidden weakness in tumor cells when they are deprived of vitamin B7. All living cells must constantly […]
