Could something as simple as vitamin C help support a healthier aging brain。 In a study of more than 2,000 older adults in Japan, researchers found that people with lower vitamin C levels in their blood also tended to have less gray matter and weaker connections in a key brain network involved in memory, attention, and other cognitive functions
Fish oil supplements successfully delivered omega-3s to the brain, but a two-year study found no meaningful benefits for memory, cognition, or Alzheimer’s-related brain changes。 The results challenge the idea that fish oil pills can help prevent Alzheimer’s and shift attention toward overall diet and lifestyle instead
New US rules would legalize quiet supersonic flights without the sonic boom
Scientists have uncovered new evidence that fireworks can pollute both the air and water in ways that extend beyond the visible smoke。 The findings show that leftover debris, fine particles, and airborne chemicals may affect ecosystems and increase people's exposure to air pollution during major celebrations
Scientists at UCLA discovered a surprising reason aging muscles heal more slowly。 In older muscle stem cells, a protein called NDRG1 builds up and acts like a brake, slowing the cells’ ability to jump into repair mode after injury。 But there’s a twist: that same protein helps the cells survive the stresses of aging, allowing them to stick around lo
Vitamin B12 is needed in microscopic amounts, but a shortage can have major effects on health and energy。 The vitamin was first linked to a lifesaving liver treatment for pernicious anemia nearly 100 years ago。 Today, researchers are finding that B12 may also help keep cellular powerhouses called mitochondria functioning properly
Aa large-scale study demonstrates that preservatives widely used in everyday processed foods may exacerbate common health risks
Humans evolved to pay close attention to danger, but today that instinct is being overwhelmed by an endless supply of bad news from around the world。 Researchers say the answer isn’t to stop following current events—it’s to build healthier habits around how, when, and where we get our news
Researchers have identified the brain circuitry that links deep sleep with the release of growth hormone, revealing how the two regulate each other。 The newly discovered feedback loop helps explain why poor sleep can interfere with growth, muscle repair, fat metabolism, and brain function。 Understanding this system could pave the way for new therap
A new sunlight-powered material can convert visible light into higher-energy UV light, overcoming a challenge that has frustrated scientists for years。 The breakthrough could enable cleaner air purification, solar-driven chemistry, and advanced manufacturing technologies using nothing more than natural sunlight
Disturbances in this critical sense are often linked to problems with brain health
A common brain protein may be giving Alzheimer’s disease an unexpected way to spread, carrying toxic Tau proteins from damaged neurons into healthy ones。 By blocking these harmful protein packages before they reach new cells, researchers believe it may one day be possible to slow the disease's relentless progression
Researchers have discovered that beneficial soil bacteria give plants an unexpected survival advantage in salty soils。 Instead of helping plants keep salt out, the microbes stimulate the production of lignin, a natural compound that strengthens roots and makes plants more resilient。 Greenhouse and field tests showed healthier plants and higher yiel

Scientists discovered that Heliconius butterflies have evolved an extraordinary lifespan, living several times longer than closely related species。 Even more surprising, some show little sign of physical decline as they age。 Their unusual pollen-feeding lifestyle may play a role, but the research suggests deeper evolutionary changes are also helpin
