A new study reveals how aging changes the immune system in complex ways and identifies potential targets for healthier aging. Why does immunity weaken with age, and does that decline happen the same way throughout the body? Researchers at USC approached that question by looking across the body rather than focusing on a single organ. […]
Scientists Find a Potential “Root” of Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s may begin to unravel the brain when a small group of neurons switches on a receptor it was never meant to use, triggering damage that spreads from synapses to memories. Alzheimer’s disease is often defined by amyloid plaques and tau tangles, but those hallmarks are part of a much wider breakdown. Neurons become overactive, […]
Scientists Turn Sunlight Into Quantum Entanglement
Scientists have turned ordinary sunlight into a source of quantum entanglement, opening a surprising path toward more energy-efficient quantum technology. Quantum technologies often depend on powerful lasers that consume significant amounts of energy. As these systems grow larger and more widespread, their energy requirements could become an increasingly important concern. Now, researchers have demonstrated that […]

Scientists Discover the Moon May Have Formed in Just Five Hours
The Moon may have emerged largely intact within hours of the colossal impact that shaped its birth. Earth has an unusually large moon for a planet of its size and position in the solar system, yet scientists still do not fully understand how that companion came to exist. Now, researchers from the Southwest Research Institute […]
Brazilian Tree Compounds Fight COVID-19 on Multiple Fronts
Scientists found compounds in a Brazilian tree that hit SARS-CoV-2 on multiple fronts, revealing a promising new lead in the search for COVID-19 treatments. Researchers have found that galloylquinic acids extracted from the leaves of Copaifera lucens Dwyer, a tree native to Brazil and found mainly in the Atlantic Forest, can act against SARS-CoV-2 in […]

What Really Disappears When You Lose Weight on GLP-1 Drugs?
Most weight lost with GLP-1 obesity drugs came from fat, while relative muscle mass was largely preserved. GLP-1 obesity drugs can lead to substantial weight loss, but an important question is what the body is actually losing. New research presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO2026) suggests that 80-85% of weight lost during treatment […]
