Neuroscientists at Kyoto University have identified a particular brain pathway that acts as a motivation brake, actively inhibiting your desire to start when a […]

A significant amount of solar energy is lost as heat. While panels convert a small portion, much of the energy dissipates. Researchers from Trinity College Dublin believe there’s a missing link in that process. What if we could reconfigure sunlight prior to harvesting it? Their theoretical research, published in Physical Review A, suggests considering a […]

Envision a boulder measuring eight football fields in width, careening through the emptiness between Mars and Jupiter. Now visualize it completing a full spin every 112 seconds. According to what astronomers believed about asteroids, this object should have disintegrated millions of years ago. But it didn’t. This entity is known as 2025 MN45, and it’s […]

Most individuals possess a genetic variant that experts have traditionally regarded as benign. According to a comprehensive new study, this belief may have been a significant error. Researchers from University College London and the University of Eastern Finland now suggest that between 72% and 93% of Alzheimer’s disease cases would not materialize without the impact […]

Underneath waves that appeared ordinary, the oceans of our planet silently set a new heat record in 2025. A global collaboration of over 50 researchers validated that the upper 2,000 meters of seawater captured an excess of 23 zetta joules compared to the year prior. This amount is approximately equal to 37 years’ worth of […]

The coastlines of our planet are partially influenced by two glaciers that remain largely unknown to the general public. Thwaites and Pine Island are located in West Antarctica and together they function as plugs preventing ice from flowing into the ocean, potentially causing sea levels to rise by multiple meters. Researchers have monitored these glaciers […]
