Humidity governs the daily rhythms of some insects, raising the question of whether it affects humans too. Inside a tightly controlled chamber, kissing bugs, fruit flies, mosquitoes, and spider beetles adjusted their behavior to repeating changes in humidity. Even after researchers removed the humidity cycle, the insects continued following the established rhythm of moist and […]

Four newly identified chameleons reveal the hidden diversity of Mozambique’s isolated mountain forests. High above the savanna of northern Mozambique, isolated rainforest patches conceal animals found nowhere else. Surveys of these granite mountains have now identified four previously unknown species of Sylvan Chameleons, each confined to a separate “sky island.” Prof. Krystal A. Tolley and […]

Dark energy revived Einstein’s discarded cosmological constant and reshaped the leading model of the universe. In 1917, Albert Einstein had recently completed his general theory of relativity, the framework that transformed how physics understands gravity. He soon applied those equations to a much larger question: how the universe changes over time. Gravity was the natural […]

The universe’s expansion makes cosmic distance far less intuitive than simply measuring how long light has traveled. An expanding universe makes distance harder to define because space keeps growing while light is in transit. Objects continue to emit light, but as that light travels toward us, the average separation between galaxies increases (yes, I know […]

A worldwide move toward healthier diets, more efficient farming, and less food waste could dramatically reorganize global agriculture by 2050. Following global recommendations to adopt healthier diets, make farms more productive, and cut food waste in half could dramatically alter agriculture by 2050. According to new modeling, these changes could reduce the amount of land […]

A study offers new insight into how insulin-producing cells could become more resilient to stress as diabetes progresses. Before proteins can work inside a cell, they must twist and fold into precise three-dimensional forms. As prediabetes advances toward diabetes, that careful process can break down, allowing defective proteins to accumulate and place insulin-producing cells under […]
