A few breathless minutes of exercise each week could have a far bigger impact on your health than most people realize. As summer approaches, many people start thinking about getting back into an exercise routine. While most of us know that physical activity is good for our health, finding the time and motivation to start, […]
Why More People in Their 30s Are Suddenly Getting Colon Cancer
A major Swiss study found that colorectal cancer is becoming increasingly common in adults under 50, even as rates decline in older age groups. Researchers in Switzerland have identified a concerning trend: while colorectal cancer rates are declining among older adults, the disease is becoming increasingly common in younger people, including some in their thirties. […]
Scientists Discover Sperm Seem To Bypass a Fundamental Law of Physics
Sperm cells move through fluids that should stop them almost instantly, yet new research suggests they succeed by exploiting unusual properties of active living matter. A sperm cell should not be a strong swimmer. At microscopic scales, fluid does not behave like water in a pool. It acts more like a thick barrier, stopping motion […]

Archaeologists Discover Mysterious Artificial Island Older Than Stonehenge in Scotland
A Scottish crannog older than Stonehenge has been mapped in new detail using a shallow-water 3D imaging technique. Archaeologists at the University of Southampton have excavated and documented a large wooden platform concealed beneath what now looks like a stone island in a Scottish loch. Using stereophotogrammetry, they recorded the artificial island above and below […]
Magnon Breakthrough Could Shrink Quantum Computers to the Size of a Penny
Physicists at the University of Vienna have discovered magnons with lifespans that are one hundred times longer. Magnons are tiny waves of magnetization that move through solid magnetic materials, similar to ripples spreading across water after a stone falls in. Unlike photons, which can move through empty space or optical fibers, magnons travel inside magnetic […]
