Ancient Black Holes May Have Survived a Cosmic Era Before the Big Bang

A new cosmic bounce model suggests that remnants from a pre-Big Bang Universe may still exist today. What if some of the Universe’s oldest objects are actually older than the Big Bang itself? A new study from the University of Portsmouth suggests that ancient black holes may have survived from a time before the Universe […]

What if Time Isn’t Fundamental? Physicists Just Tested the Idea in the Lab

A quantum “mini universe” made from ultracold atoms revealed that time can emerge from entropy changes inside a system, offering experimental insight into one of physics’ deepest mysteries. A scientist at the University of Birmingham has created a “mini universe” that could help answer one of science’s most fundamental questions: What is time? In a […]

Women’s Brains May Be More Vulnerable to Dementia Risk Factors Than Scientists Realized

A major study found that common dementia risks may have a much stronger impact on women’s brains than previously recognized. Women may not only experience some dementia risk factors more often than men, but those risk factors may also have a stronger effect on their cognitive health, according to new research from the University of […]

Scientists Say We’ve Been Wrong About the Aging Brain

The aging brain may be far more capable of growth and improvement than scientists once believed. A large three-year study from researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for BrainHealth (CBH) is challenging a long-standing assumption about aging. The findings suggest that mental sharpness is not destined to decline over time and that […]

More Weight Loss, Fewer Fractures? New Study Points to Semaglutide

Semaglutide was linked to greater weight loss and a 15% lower fracture risk in people with type 2 diabetes, raising the possibility of an unexpected bone health benefit. People with type 2 diabetes who took semaglutide experienced greater weight loss and a lower risk of bone fractures than those using several other weight-loss medications, according […]

These Tiny Birds Became Giants on Remote Scottish Islands

Remote Scottish islands turned tiny wrens into giant birds that may be evolving into new species. Tiny wrens living on remote Scottish islands are providing scientists with a rare look at how evolution can reshape animals in isolated environments. A new study led by researchers at the University of Birmingham found that several island populations […]
