This 345-Million-Year-Old Fossil Fooled Scientists for Decades

A famous Scottish fossil is forcing scientists to rethink what claw-like feet really reveal about the move onto land. Pressed flat inside two slabs of Scottish rock, a 345-million-year-old skeleton seemed to carry some unmistakable signs of life on land. Its four limbs ended in five-digit feet, and the tips of its fingers and toes […]

Your Gut Bacteria May Reveal How Cancer Treatment Will Affect You

Gut bacteria may hold clues to cancer survival and chemotherapy side effects before treatment even begins. A tumor can produce large amounts of lactate, a molecule that some gut bacteria consume as food. Mayo Clinic researchers found higher levels of both lactate and one of those bacteria, Veillonella parvula, in adults diagnosed with colorectal cancer […]

This Simple Once-a-Week Exercise Could Help Keep Blood Pressure Lower

A weekly wall-squat session may help keep blood pressure gains from slipping away. A study published in BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine found that adults who first completed four weeks of isometric exercise could retain some blood pressure improvements with just one or two sessions a week for another four weeks. Those who continued […]

Scientists Discover a Hidden Hydrogen Pathway That Could Transform CO2 Into Valuable Fuel

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected pathway for hydrogen transfer during catalytic CO2 conversion. A computer model designed to predict how carbon dioxide becomes useful chemicals produced a surprising error: It identified formic acid as the main product instead of methanol. When scientists expanded the model to account for thousands of previously overlooked reactions, its predictions […]

NASA Hubble Cold Case: A Dead Star May Have Given Birth to a New Planet

Astronomers revisiting old observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered a clue that may solve a decades-old cold case. A study published October 5 in Nature Astronomy reports evidence that the white dwarf HS 0209+0832 could be orbited by a second-generation planet. A white dwarf is the leftover core of a low-mass star that […]
