A study shows that monkeys use their feet to climb trees as skillfully as chimpanzees. The way a primate climbs a tree can offer clues about how our own ancestors once moved. New research suggests that whatever scientists eventually determine about the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees, that ancestor was almost certainly capable […]
Longer Breastfeeding Linked to Fewer ADHD Symptoms in Children
A baby’s first meals may shape attention for years, with longer exclusive breastfeeding linked to fewer ADHD symptoms through age eight. Researchers at the University of Bergen examined data from 37,600 families in the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). The association appeared in both boys and girls and was strongest when the […]

Common Osteoarthritis Treatment Fails a Major Test
Diacerein did not relieve knee osteoarthritis symptoms in a major trial, but patients should speak with their doctor before stopping it. For millions of people living with knee osteoarthritis, medications that can meaningfully ease pain remain frustratingly limited. Now, one drug long valued for its anti-inflammatory properties has failed a major test of its effectiveness. […]
Tiny Stars Are Making the Early Universe Much Harder to Explain
Faint stars hidden inside massive early galaxies suggest some may contain several times more stellar mass than previously estimated. Some of the universe’s earliest massive galaxies may be hiding far more stellar mass than astronomers realized. Their brightest stars dominate what telescopes can see, but new measurements indicate that enormous populations of small, faint stars […]

Dark Stars May Have Left a Gravitational-Wave Signal We Can Detect Today
A new study suggests that pulsar timing arrays could help reveal how the Universe’s first supermassive black holes formed. A faint background of extremely low-frequency gravitational waves, detected by monitoring networks of pulsars, may preserve clues from events that began more than 13 billion years ago. Among them could be the processes that produced some […]
