The tools meant to detect microplastics—lab gloves—might be quietly skewing the results. A new University of Michigan study suggests that nitrile and latex gloves, commonly used in labs, could be causing scientists to overestimate levels of microplastics. Researchers found that these gloves can unintentionally contaminate the equipment used to analyze air, water, and other samples. […]

Scientists Uncover New Alzheimer’s Drug Target That Slashes Brain Plaques
A newly identified enzyme target may open an alternative path for treating Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists at the Indiana University School of Medicine have identified a potential new drug target for Alzheimer’s disease. Their research shows that removing a specific enzyme from brain neurons significantly lowers amyloid plaque buildup, a defining feature of the disease, and […]

The Truth About Collagen Supplements: Scientists Reveal What Actually Works
New research indicates collagen may support certain aspects of healthy aging, but its broader health and fitness claims remain uncertain. Collagen supplements are often marketed as a way to support everything from glowing skin to better workouts. But the strongest evidence so far points to a narrower reality. The most comprehensive review to date found […]
Astronomers Detect Strange “Chirp” From a Supernova, Revealing Hidden Physics
Astronomers studying a distant superluminous supernova uncovered a strange pattern hidden in its light: a rapidly accelerating “chirp.” For decades, astronomers have used distant supernova explosions as cosmic beacons to study fundamental physics and measure properties of the universe. While examining one such event, Joseph Farah, a fifth-year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara, noticed […]
