Extensive practice can rewire the brain so a learned skill runs more automatically, making some forms of true multitasking possible. Why does driving eventually feel effortless, while learning to drive demands total concentration? A new study from Georgetown University suggests the answer lies in the brain’s ability to rewire itself, shifting well-practiced skills into different […]

A new study suggests low-intensity ultrasound can influence immune cell behavior in ways that may reduce chronic inflammation and encourage tissue repair after joint injury. Every year, millions of people suffer joint injuries that can trigger a biological chain reaction lasting long after the original damage has healed. Instead of switching from inflammation to repair, […]

India’s dry woodland cover has expanded sharply over the past decade, but new satellite analysis shows that tree-cover gains do not always mean native forests are recovering. India appears to have dramatically expanded one of its most overlooked ecosystems over the past decade. A new study found that the country gained about 2.1 million hectares […]

Mount Etna’s past eruptions reveal that a single volcano can erupt through very different underground pathways. Volcanic plumbing systems can stretch deep underground and form highly complicated networks. Yet even within a single volcano, those internal pathways do not always operate the same way. A collaboration led by Cornell found that two historic eruptions of […]

Scientists have uncovered molecular changes in bumblebees exposed to a common pesticide, revealing potential links between crop protection practices and pollinator health. Every bite of fruit, vegetable, or seed crop may owe something to a bee. Pollinators are responsible for helping many of the world’s food crops reproduce, making them a cornerstone of modern agriculture. […]
