Giant Plasma Waves May Be Stripping Away Mars’ Atmosphere

Kelvin–Helmholtz waves may help the solar wind strip atmospheric particles from Mars. Mars is continually exposed to a stream of charged particles racing outward from the Sun. Earth’s global magnetic field deflects much of this solar wind, but Mars lacks a comparable shield. The flow can therefore strike the planet’s upper atmosphere directly and gradually […]

A Daily Multivitamin May Help Older Adults Stay Active

A daily multivitamin may offer older adults a simple way to support everyday function and independence. Maintaining the ability to handle ordinary tasks without severe symptoms is an important part of quality of life in later years. New research suggests that taking a daily multivitamin may help older adults preserve that everyday level of functioning. […]

Scientists Thought SuperAgers Had Lucky Genes. They Were Wrong

SuperAgers may keep their memories sharp not because they dodged Alzheimer’s genes, but because their brains possess hidden defenses scientists are only beginning to uncover. Some people reach their 80s and 90s with memory abilities that rival, or even surpass, those of adults decades younger. Known as SuperAgers, these exceptional individuals are helping scientists investigate […]

Humans and Mice May Process Smells in Very Similar Ways

Every deliberate sniff may activate a brain system that has survived millions of years of evolution. A mouse searching for food may sniff several times each second. A person checking whether a cantaloupe is ripe usually leans in for one slow, deliberate breath. Those behaviors look completely different, but new research suggests the brain may […]

These Beautiful Flowers Can Paralyze You, but Their Chemistry Could Save Lives

Researchers take the first steps toward recreating powerful chemicals derived from plants in the laboratory. Wolfsbane and larkspur can cause neurotoxicity and paralysis at extremely low doses, yet their chemistry has also been used against pain, malaria, cancer, and pests. Researchers have now taken the first steps toward recreating some of these powerful plant compounds […]
