Webb Discovers Something Extraordinary in the Clouds of a World With No Sun

A world with no sunrise still has changing skies, and Webb has caught its water clouds thickening and thinning just 7.5 light-years away. Astronomers have tracked weather on WISE 0855, the coldest known brown dwarf, using the James Webb Space Telescope. A team led by Brittany Miles of the University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory watched […]

Vanilla’s Sweet Secret Could Help Heal Stubborn Wounds

Vanillin could help form wound-care materials while supplying antibacterial activity, a combination made more practical by its low-cost and abundant supply. The compound behind vanilla’s sweet aroma could become an ingredient in wound-care materials. A team from Flinders University’s Biomedical Nanoengineering Laboratory has found that vanillin has pronounced antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, making it […]

Scientists Discover a Surprising New Way To Fight High Blood Pressure – Through the Ear

A small ear stimulation device could offer a new way to tackle high blood pressure that stays elevated despite medication. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have tested a device that stimulates nerves through the ear in people whose high blood pressure remained uncontrolled despite medication. The trial, published in the American Heart Association […]

Scientists Discover Nature Has Far Fewer Backup Plans Than We Thought

Nature may have fewer backup plans than we thought, leaving our food supply and climate more exposed when species disappear. The largest global study of its kind suggests that losing species can steadily erode the benefits ecosystems provide, including pollination, clean water, carbon storage, and natural pest control. Led by King’s College London and Imperial […]

Climate Change Could Unleash an African Antelope Invasion Across the American West

Climate change could give African antelopes an edge in the American West, with native wildlife facing tougher competition when drought leaves less to eat. An antelope native to southern Africa’s Kalahari Desert has found a foothold in New Mexico’s dry rangelands, and climate change could give it far more of the American West to roam. […]
