A probable defensive structure at Oued Beht suggests communities in northwestern Africa coordinated large building projects about 4,000 to 3,500 years ago. At Oued Beht, an archaeological site in the hills of northwestern Morocco, a large, wall-like structure suggests that people were protecting their communities or asserting control over the surrounding landscape about 4,000 to […]
Scientists Reveal What Could Happen if Yellowstone Erupted Now
A Yellowstone supereruption could set off a global survival crisis, with food shortages and damaged health systems extending the danger long after the initial blasts. Around 631,000 years ago—a geological blink of an eye—catastrophe unfolded in what is now northwestern Wyoming, US. During what is thought to have been a series of immense volcanic eruptions, […]
Brain Differences May Explain Why Some Children Struggle at Math
Differences in brain activity are linked to difficulties using and adapting math problem-solving strategies in children with developmental dyscalculia. Choosing how to tackle a math problem can be a challenge of its own for children with developmental dyscalculia, a condition marked by persistent difficulty with math problem-solving. A Stanford University study connects these struggles with […]

Scientists Test an Unexpected Sleep Aid Made From Tree Roots
A pilot study suggests that oil from underused Hinoki roots could be used in scented products for relaxation. Falling asleep can be compared to easing down a dimmer switch, with brain activity gradually shifting as sleep deepens. Researchers studying Hinoki, or Japanese cypress, are exploring whether its scent could help smooth that transition for women […]
Scientists Discover a Molecular “Memory” That Could Make Lost Weight Come Back
Obesity may leave behind a cellular memory that pushes the body to regain lost weight. Researchers at the Harrington Discovery Institute at University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University have uncovered a mechanism that could help explain two stubborn features of obesity: why lost weight so often returns and why heightened susceptibility can pass from […]
They Flew Around the Moon. Now NASA Has a New Mission for Them
After making history around the Moon, Victor Glover and Reid Wiseman are beginning a new chapter while helping NASA prepare for what comes next. NASA astronauts Victor Glover and Reid Wiseman are moving into emeritus roles at Johnson Space Center in Houston this September, months after completing the historic Artemis II mission. The emeritus program […]
