Only about one in five infants diagnosed with vitamin K-related bleeding had received the shot, U.S. health records show. Babies are born with little vitamin K, leaving them vulnerable to bleeding that can cause permanent brain damage or death. A single shot helps protect against that danger. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended one […]

Blood vessel function improved within an hour of a supplement’s first dose in a small human trial, though lasting protection against cardiovascular disease remains unproven. What if protecting the heart and blood vessels requires more than treating traditional risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol? Cardiovascular disease remains the world’s leading cause of […]

A newly discovered hereditary cancer risk could change how doctors identify vulnerable families. Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a previously unrecognized form of hereditary prostate cancer linked to a rare genetic mutation that can lead to aggressive disease at relatively young ages. The discovery could help doctors identify families with an […]

Solar power, wind energy, and electric vehicles are reshaping global emissions trends, but a new scientific assessment reveals that the world’s remaining carbon budget is shrinking at an alarming rate. Global fossil fuel emissions are expected to fall slightly in 2026, but the world’s total carbon dioxide output is still projected to rise. A new […]

Gas above a Martian volcano may come from hidden magma, offering clues to the planet’s remaining heat and its potential to support life underground. Hydrogen chloride gas usually reaches its highest levels in Mars’s atmosphere during winter in the northern hemisphere, then mostly disappears in summer. Much of that seasonal pattern appears to follow the […]

An older universe could give unexpectedly mature early galaxies billions more years to grow, according to a model that also reproduces galaxy rotation without dark matter. To explain how galaxies rotate, the standard model of the universe relies on dark matter, an unseen source of gravity. A new paper published in Monthly Notices of the […]

A single particle of antimatter, suspended for months in a laboratory trap, could help physicists unravel why matter survived to build the universe around us. Northwestern University physicists have brought a positron, the electron’s antimatter counterpart, into a precisely controlled quantum state for the first time. After capturing the energetic particle from radioactive decay, they […]

Scientists have discovered that a small brain region best known for processing emotions plays a surprisingly broad role in determining which experiences become lasting memories. The brain records countless sights and experiences every day, yet only a fraction become lasting memories. Scientists have now identified a pattern of neural activity that helps predict what will […]

The same vitamin found in everyday foods could eventually help store surplus renewable electricity, after an experimental zinc-air battery using B12 completed up to 250 recharge cycles. The search for safer, more sustainable batteries is leading scientists to some unexpected places, including the chemistry of vitamins. Researchers at the University of Córdoba in Spain have […]

California is teeming with thousands of insect species science has yet to name, and its wild places hold more distinct worlds of tiny creatures than researchers realized. California is home to an astonishing variety of insects, from the deserts of the Mojave to the forests of the Sierra Nevada. But scientists are discovering that the […]
