Chewing sugary gum may boost the heart and blood vessel benefits of nitrate-rich vegetables. What happens in your mouth after eating vegetables may be just as important as the vegetables themselves. Researchers at King’s College London have found the first evidence that chewing sugary gum after consuming nitrate-rich vegetables such as beetroot, spinach, and kale […]
Hidden Virus May Have Infected 9.4 Million People – Scientists Say We’ve Missed Most Cases
New research indicates the Oropouche virus has spread far more widely than reported, exposing major gaps in disease surveillance. Until recently, few people had heard of the Oropouche virus. But after a massive 2023 outbreak swept across Brazil, infecting tens of thousands of people, causing the country’s first confirmed death, and spreading far beyond its […]
NASA’s Lucy Uncovers Ancient Water Clues on a Weirdly Wobbling Asteroid
NASA’s Lucy spacecraft revealed that a bizarre wobbling, peanut-shaped asteroid holds surprising clues about ancient water and the origins of the solar system. Even a relatively small asteroid can have a surprisingly dramatic history. During a close flyby of the asteroid Donaldjohanson, NASA’s Lucy spacecraft discovered an oddly shaped world that wobbles through space, bears […]

NASA Moon Base Could Become Earth’s First Defense Against Alien Microbes
Researchers propose turning a future NASA moon base into a quarantine station that would screen space samples before they ever reach Earth. A policy paper argues that NASA’s planned moon base should include a biocontainment facility to help protect Earth from potentially hazardous biological contaminants brought back from space. “Humanity is entering a new era […]
Europe’s First TES Spectrometer Makes Previously Impossible X-Ray Experiments Possible
Europe’s first TES spectrometer is transforming X-ray research with up to 1,000 times greater sensitivity, making once impossible experiments finally possible. Europe’s first and only TES spectrometer at a synchrotron light source is now operating at BESSY II, marking a major advance for X-ray research. Developed through a collaboration between HZB, the MPI-CEC (Mühlheim-an-der-Ruhr, Germany), […]
