Cobalt sits at the heart of the clean energy transition, but this study suggests its supply chain is far more fragile than it appears. Cobalt plays a central role in lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles, but its global supply chain faces growing systemic risks that extend well beyond isolated disruptions. A new study shows that […]
Neanderthals May Have Used Birch Tar As Ancient Antibiotic, Study Finds
A new study explores whether birch tar, long associated with Neanderthal toolmaking, may have served another purpose as well. In a new study from the University of Cologne, the University of Oxford, the University of Liège, and Cape Breton University in Canada, researchers recreated birch tar using techniques associated with Neanderthals and tested whether it […]
This Overlooked Brain Region May Hold the Key to Strength in Aging
A new study reveals an unexpected connection between physical strength and brain activity. A new study points to an unexpected player in healthy aging: a little-known structure deep in the brain that may help maintain physical strength over time. The findings suggest it may be possible to identify and address frailty before it develops. Scientists […]

Scientists Identify “Good” Bacteria That May Prevent Long COVID
A small microbe in the respiratory tract may hold important clues about why long COVID persists. According to the WHO, about 6% of people worldwide who get COVID-19, roughly 400 million people, later develop a long-lasting form of the illness. That shows the condition remains a significant public health challenge. In 2021, during the COVID-19 […]
New Quantum Mechanism Boosts Energy Transfer in Nanomaterials
A newly identified mechanism reveals how proton motion can subtly yet powerfully influence triplet energy transfer in advanced materials. In chemistry, some of the most important reactions do not depend on electrons alone. Protons can move at the same time, and that partnership helps drive processes that power life and modern technology. Scientists already knew […]
