Researchers report that certain movement-related symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease may originate in the peripheral nervous system rather than the brain. Researchers at the University of Central Florida say some early movement problems linked to Alzheimer’s may begin outside the brain, raising new questions about where the disease starts and how soon it might be detected. […]
Cancer’s Secret Weapon? Scientists Reveal How Tumors “Learn” To Survive Treatment
Cancer cells may “learn” to survive therapy by rewiring gene activity using AP-1 proteins. Researchers at NYU Langone Health say cancer cells may have a far more flexible survival system than scientists once thought. In a new model, the team argues that some tumors may not need to wait for rare DNA mutations to escape […]
What Makes Rubber So Strong? Scientists Finally Solve 100-Year-Old Mystery
A long-standing mystery in materials science has finally been resolved, revealing how microscopic particles fundamentally alter the behavior of rubber. Every time you drive, fly on a plane, or even water your lawn, you depend on a material that has supported modern life for nearly a century: reinforced rubber. It is used in car and […]

Scientists Decode Mysterious Magnetic “Maze Domains” To Boost EV Efficiency
A new AI-driven model exposes how complex magnetic domain patterns shape energy loss in electric motors. The rapid rise in electric vehicle use has brought new attention to a key challenge: how efficiently electric motors convert energy. One major source of energy loss in these motors is iron loss, also called magnetic hysteresis loss. This […]
Scientists Say This Fungus Could Survive the Trip to Mars
Some Earth-based microbes may be tougher than expected, raising new questions about survival beyond our planet. Scientists have long viewed fungi as tough survivors, but new research suggests some may be capable of enduring an even more extreme test: the journey from Earth to Mars. In a study published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, researchers […]
Gaining Weight Young May Be More Dangerous Than You Think
A large-scale study tracking hundreds of thousands of individuals reveals that the timing of weight gain may play a critical role in long-term health. When people gain weight during life can shape their health decades later. In a study of more than 600,000 individuals, researchers at Lund University in Sweden examined how weight changes between […]

Scientists Discover Hidden Pathway Inside Catalysts That Defies Decades of Assumptions
A new study reveals an unexpected pathway in catalytic systems, where oxygen does not remain confined to surfaces but can move through deeper regions of the material. A team of scientists in China has uncovered a hidden pathway inside catalysts that could reshape how chemical reactions are designed and controlled. Led by Tao Zhang and […]
