Scientists exploring deep underwater canyons off Western Australia have uncovered an unexpectedly rich world of marine life using environmental DNA collected from seawater thousands of meters below the surface. A new study led by Curtin University has uncovered remarkable biodiversity inside deep underwater canyons off Western Australia’s Nyinggulu (Ningaloo) coast. The discoveries include elusive giant […]
Popular Sugar-Free Sweetener Linked to Liver Disease, Study Warns
Researchers have uncovered evidence that a common “sugar-free” sweetener may mimic some of fructose’s harmful effects in the body. That “sugar-free” snack in your kitchen may not be as harmless as it looks. Scientists are raising new concerns about sorbitol, a common sweetener used in products marketed as low-calorie or diabetic friendly. New research suggests […]

Why Weight Loss Isn’t Enough for Everyone at Risk of Diabetes
Weight loss and exercise are widely considered powerful tools for preventing type 2 diabetes, but new research suggests the benefits may not be the same for everyone. Losing weight and staying active are widely recommended ways to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. But new research suggests that for some people, those efforts may […]
What Is Hantavirus? The Deadly Disease Raising Alarm Worldwide
Hantavirus spreads through airborne rodent waste particles and can cause deadly lung or heart failure. Early diagnosis and supportive care are critical because no approved antiviral treatment is available. A cruise ship stranded off the coast of South Africa because of a deadly hantavirus outbreak has drawn global attention to the rare but serious disease. […]
Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Came From a Place Nothing Like Our Solar System
A comet from beyond our solar system is giving astronomers a rare look at how alien planetary systems may form under conditions very different from those that shaped our own cosmic neighborhood. The object, called 3I/ATLAS, was discovered less than a year ago as it traveled through our solar system. Although scientists still do not […]

Webb Space Telescope Reveals Rare Planet Pair That Shouldn’t Exist
A bizarre pair of planets 190 light-years away is forcing astronomers to rethink how planetary systems form. A strange and extremely rare pair of planets is orbiting a star about 190 light-years from Earth, and astronomers think they may finally understand how this cosmic odd couple came to exist. The system contains a hot Jupiter, […]
Physicists Solve Major Challenge in Quantum Synchronization
A theoretical study shows how nonreciprocal quantum synchronization could be achieved in real-world systems. Three theoretical physicists at RIKEN have proposed a new way to achieve one-way quantum synchronization in phonons. The method is designed to remain stable even when real-world obstacles, including fabrication flaws and environmental noise, would normally disrupt delicate quantum effects. Many […]
