Yellowstone’s wolves helped reduce elk numbers, but tree recovery remained limited, challenging the popular story that their return restored the park’s ecosystem. You might be among the 46 million people who’ve seen a video showing how wolves changed Yellowstone, or you may have heard some other version of this story. Yellowstone, which covers nearly 3,500 […]
Scientists Discover 45-Million-Year-Old Crocodile With a Strange Connection to Egypt’s Great Sphinx
Fossils of a newly recognized Egyptian crocodile species come from the same rocks as the Great Sphinx, and a missing snout tip helped inspire the animal’s name. Crocodile fossils recovered in Egypt in the 1920s were initially grouped with a living long-snouted crocodile called the false gharial because of their outward resemblance. A new examination, […]
Something Strange Is Happening Beneath Nicaragua’s Masaya Volcano
Satellite measurements of Nicaragua’s Masaya volcano suggest magma is entering one reservoir as another drains, offering clues that could improve monitoring for future hazards. Visitors come to Nicaragua’s Masaya volcano to look into its lava lake, while roughly 2 million people live within 13 miles (21 kilometers) of the active volcano. The molten rock exposed […]
A Hidden Molecular Switch Could Change How We Treat Aggressive Prostate Cancer
A protein-building molecule helped switch resistant prostate tumors back into a drug-sensitive state in experimental models, offering a potential target for future treatments. Many treatments for prostate cancer, one of the most common cancers in men, target a protein called the androgen receptor, which fuels tumor growth. Tumors can escape that approach by becoming less […]

Scientists Discover Aspirin May Slash Dementia Risk by 70% – but Only for Certain People
Aspirin was linked to a sharply lower dementia risk in some older adults, and their genes may hold the clue. A Monash University analysis found that older adults with a particular genetic profile had about a 70 percent lower relative risk of dementia when taking low-dose aspirin. But serious bleeding was also more common in […]
Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power
Reusable for up to 25 different calculations, a DNA computer points toward possible uses in energy-efficient computing and long-term data storage. A DNA computer has added 10 and 3 in 30 seconds, using interacting strands in water instead of a silicon chip. Developed by researchers at Maynooth University (MU), the system can also multiply and […]
