Even centuries after disturbance, recovering grasslands can remain dominated by a different kind of plant than the old-growth ecosystems they replaced. Even after centuries of recovery, a grassland can still support a noticeably different plant community from an ancient landscape that was never plowed. A global analysis of 742 plant species found that secondary grasslands, […]
Stanford Researchers Discover That the Human Brain May Be Two Separate Organs Fused Together
A split in early brain development helped researchers grow human hindbrain neurons that could shed light on SMA and ALS. The human hindbrain, the region at the back of the brain that helps control breathing and swallowing, has been difficult to study in the laboratory. For decades, scientists have struggled to grow its neurons, leaving […]
Healthy Eating May Slow Biological Aging – but There Isn’t a Single “Best” Diet
Ten healthy dietary patterns were linked to slower biological aging, suggesting that eating for healthy aging can accommodate different tastes and traditions. Mediterranean, Nordic, and plant-based diets offer different ways to eat healthily, yet a study by DZNE found that all three were linked to slower biological aging. The association appeared across all 10 dietary […]

Scientists Say This Simple Habit Could Help Protect Your Brain for Life
From childhood development to healthy aging, reading has been associated with a surprising range of cognitive and social benefits. Picking up a book is a familiar way to unwind, and researchers at the University of Cambridge say reading for pleasure may offer benefits that extend across a lifetime. Studies have linked it to better mental […]
Jupiter Handles the Solar Wind in a Way Scientists Didn’t Expect
New observations from NASA’s Juno mission are revealing that Jupiter’s bow shock behaves in more complex ways than its counterpart at Earth. NASA’s Juno spacecraft has captured the most detailed measurements yet of Jupiter’s bow shock, the vast boundary where the solar wind crashes into the planet’s magnetic environment. The observations show that Jupiter manages […]

Scientists May Have Uncovered the Mystery Behind Webb’s Strange Little Red Dots
New simulations suggest Webb’s Little Red Dots capture a rapid growth phase that could explain the early appearance of supermassive black holes. Little Red Dots, the small, extremely red objects spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope in the early universe, may reveal how black holes grew so big, so quickly. Astronomers have found supermassive […]
