| Scientists Uncover Hidden Cancer Risk in Common Bowel Growths |
|
|
2026-03-03 12:37:51 +00:00
 A large Australian study has uncovered new evidence linking the presence of two different types of bowel polyps to a substantially higher risk of advanced pre-cancerous changes. A routine colonoscopy can uncover tiny growths that most people never feel. But new research from Flinders University and Flinders Medical Centre suggests a specific combination of these […]

| Even Mild COVID-19 Can Leave Lasting Brain Damage, Study Finds |
|
|
2026-03-03 12:02:47 +00:00
 A new study suggests that recovery from COVID-19 may not end when respiratory symptoms fade. A mild bout of COVID-19 or influenza may have effects that continue long after obvious symptoms such as fever and coughing disappear. New research from Tulane University suggests these hidden changes could help explain why some people do not feel […]

| Why Mint Feels Cold: Scientists Reveal the Hidden Mechanism |
|
|
2026-03-02 20:54:46 +00:00
 Scientists have visualized, for the first time, how a key sensory protein detects both cold temperatures and cooling compounds like menthol. Stepping into chilly air or tasting a mint sets off a specialized sensor in your body that signals the brain that something feels cold. Researchers have now obtained the first high-resolution images showing how […]

 A 2,800-year-old mass grave in Serbia reveals a chilling pattern: women and children deliberately targeted, most unrelated to one another, and buried in a ritualized ceremony. New research suggests that women and children were intentionally singled out in one of the largest known prehistoric mass killings in Europe. Excavations at the Gomolava burial site in […]

2026-03-02 16:21:28 +00:00
 A large international clinical trial has unveiled a promising new option for people living with highly treatment-resistant HIV. For a small but important group of people living with HIV, treatment has never reached the “one pill a day” milestone. Drug resistance built up over decades, along with other medical conditions and long medication lists, can […]

| Brain Blood Flow May Predict Alzheimer’s Risk Before Memory Loss |
|
|
2026-03-02 15:46:32 +00:00
 New noninvasive tools reveal that subtle shifts in brain blood flow and oxygen use may mirror key markers of Alzheimer’s risk. Small shifts in how blood circulates through the brain and how brain cells use oxygen could signal a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease, according to researchers at the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and […]

| Black Hole Collisions May Finally Resolve the Hubble Tension |
|
|
2026-03-02 12:39:23 +00:00
 A subtle gravitational-wave “hum” from merging black holes may help settle the cosmic fight over how fast the universe is expanding. Astronomers have understood for many decades that the universe is expanding. To calculate how quickly it is stretching today, researchers measure a value called the Hubble constant. Different techniques are used to determine this […]

| Jupiter’s Moons May Have Been Born With Life’s Building Blocks |
|
|
2026-03-02 12:04:36 +00:00
 Jupiter’s moons may have been born with the chemistry needed for life. An international collaboration that included Southwest Research Institute has shown how complex organic molecules (COMs), widely considered essential precursors to life, may have been built into Jupiter’s Galilean moons as they formed. The findings are detailed in companion papers published in The Planetary […]

| “Ghost Galaxy” Made of 99% Dark Matter Discovered 300 Million Light Years Away |
|
|
2026-03-02 11:29:42 +00:00
 Astronomers have detected a ghostly galaxy that is almost completely made of dark matter. The faint object was revealed by just four globular star clusters hiding in the Perseus cluster. While most galaxies blaze with billions of stars, a rare few are so faint they are barely detectable. These low-surface-brightness galaxies contain very few stars […]

| A Hidden African Carbon Vault Is Starting to Leak |
|
|
2026-03-02 10:19:18 +00:00
 A vast African peatland once thought stable is now leaking carbon thousands of years old. Tropical swamps and peatlands are major components of Earth’s carbon system and play a significant role in regulating the climate. Regions such as the Amazon Basin, the Congo Basin, and the wetlands of Southeast Asia steadily build up thick layers […]

| Study Challenges Long-Held Belief That Opioids Are Most Effective for Acute Pain |
|
|
2026-03-02 00:32:54 +00:00
 The largest review of its kind suggests opioids may offer far less relief for acute pain than commonly believed. The largest analysis ever conducted on opioid pain medications used for acute pain has found that these drugs offer only modest, short-lived relief for certain conditions and do not work at all for others. Researchers at […]
