Time-restricted eating proved feasible for people with early Huntington’s disease and produced several unexpected biological signals. A small pilot study suggests that limiting daily eating to a six-to-eight-hour window may influence clinical and biological measures in people with early Huntington’s disease. Over 12 weeks, 20 participants maintained their body weight and lean muscle mass while […]
The 1,000-Year DNA Mystery: Why Finland’s Coast and Inland Are Now Genetically Divided
A thousand years ago, Finland’s coastal and inland communities shared similar ancestry. Today, their DNA tells two different stories. A University of Turku study has traced how migration from Sweden reshaped the ancestry of Finland’s southwestern coast while inland populations retained a genetic connection to their medieval predecessors. The findings also reveal ties linking people […]

New Research Reveals Dinosaurs May Have Eaten Seaweed
Dinosaurs and their prey likely ate seaweed, which may help explain the unusually high carbon isotope signatures preserved in their teeth. After storms, beaches can become strewn with marine material washed in from the sea. Land animals often take advantage of that sudden food supply, especially when drought or other conditions make food on land […]
ESA’s Juice Just Skimmed Earth’s Atmosphere on Its Way to Jupiter
The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) made a close pass by Earth on September 28, skimming the outermost reaches of the atmosphere and using the planet’s gravity to reshape its journey toward Jupiter while conserving fuel. The maneuver changed Juice’s direction by 20° compared with its earlier trajectory and boosted its speed […]

NASA’s Roman Telescope Just Took a Big Step Toward Seeing Alien Worlds
NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has completed key guidance tests and given its Coronagraph Instrument its first look at the cosmos. NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has passed an important series of pointing tests, showing that it can remain extremely steady while observing distant targets. The tests, conducted from September 15 to 21, […]
