A little-studied fruit related to the kiwiberry is drawing scientific attention for its potential to interfere with early cancer-related processes. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States and worldwide, with smoking as its primary risk factor. As a result, scientists continue searching for compounds that can block the earliest […]
Scientists Uncover Giant Lava Fields From an Active Underwater Volcano
Researchers discovered that massive lava flows and collapsing lava ponds at Axial Seamount reveal how underwater eruptions reshape the seafloor. Volcanic eruptions pose serious geologic risks. Submarine volcanoes are especially difficult to observe directly, yet they are central to shaping the ocean floor and can generate tsunamis that threaten nearby coastlines. The Juan de Fuca […]

Baffling Geologists for 150 Years: New Study Finally Solves Green River Mystery
New research may have solved a long-standing geological mystery in the United States that has puzzled scientists for more than 150 years. Scientists have spent more than a century trying to understand how the Green River, the largest tributary of the Colorado River, managed to carve a canyon roughly 700 meters deep straight through Utah’s […]
Scientists Discover “Shape-Shifting” Semiconductors Activated by Light
Researchers have discovered that perovskite crystals can rapidly and reversibly change shape when exposed to light, revealing a unique behavior not seen in traditional semiconductors. A new study from researchers at the University of California, Davis suggests that perovskites could enable a new class of light-responsive semiconductor devices. Published in Advanced Materials, the research shows […]

This Liquid Snapped Instead of Flowing and Scientists Were Shocked
Researchers discovered that liquids can suddenly snap like solids when stretched hard enough. This unexpected behavior challenges basic physics and could lead to new technological applications. In a discovery that could reshape how scientists think about fluids, researchers at Drexel University have found that under certain conditions, a simple liquid can break apart like a […]
New Study Challenges Long-Held Concerns Over Infant Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen Use
A major study challenges earlier concerns about common infant painkillers, revealing reassuring early findings. A major clinical trial is offering reassurance to parents about two of the most commonly used medications in infancy. Researchers report that paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen, e.g., Tylenol, Panadol) and ibuprofen (e.g., Advil, Nurofen), widely given for fever and pain, […]
