Hawaii researchers are testing whether plastic waste and abandoned fishing nets can be safely reused in asphalt roads. Hawaii is struggling with plastic waste. Recycling is difficult and expensive for the island state, especially when the waste includes marine debris that remains in the surrounding ocean waters. Researchers in Hawaii are testing a way to […]

The Coldest “Stars” in the Galaxy Might Actually Be Alien Megastructures
Astronomers may be able to identify possible Dyson swarms by looking for unusually cold, clean infrared signals around long-lived stars. Since physicist Freeman Dyson introduced the idea in 1960, the “Dyson sphere” has become one of the most sought-after possible technosignatures in the search for advanced alien civilizations. The basic idea is that a civilization […]
The Simple Habit That Could Lower Your Cancer Risk
Regular movement may help lower cancer risk, and even small increases in activity can be beneficial. For many people, starting an exercise routine can feel intimidating or easy to put off. But scientists continue to uncover evidence that regular physical activity does far more than improve strength or heart health — it may also help […]

The Secret to Living Past 100 May Be Hidden in Your Blood
A new study suggests that people who live past 100 may carry unique metabolic “fingerprints” in their blood that differ from typical aging patterns. What allows some people to live past 100 while staying remarkably healthy? Scientists have long known that exceptional longevity is shaped by a combination of genetics and lifestyle, from plant-rich diets […]
Ancient Roman Gold Mines Discovered in Spain’s Pyrenees
Luminescence dating has confirmed Roman exploitation of alluvial gold in the Eastern Pyrenees for the first time. For centuries, stories of gold hidden in the rivers of the Pyrenees have circulated across the Iberian Peninsula, with even medieval Islamic sources praising the quality of gold from the Segre River for minting coins. Now, researchers have […]
