A daily vitamin D supplement may quietly supercharge chemotherapy。 In a small study, women who took low doses alongside treatment were far more likely to see their cancer vanish than those who didn’t。 Since vitamin D also supports immune function—and many patients are deficient—it could be playing a bigger role than expected
A newly discovered prehistoric mammal may hold clues to how life survived the dinosaur-killing extinction。 The tiny species, Cimolodon desosai, lived 75 million years ago and had traits—like a small body and varied diet—that likely boosted survival odds。 Found in Baja California, the fossil includes rare skeletal remains that reveal how it moved an
Archaeologists have uncovered six previously unknown Bronze Age mines in southwestern Spain, offering a striking new clue about where the metal in ancient Scandinavian artifacts may have come from。 Found near Cabeza del Buey, the sites include everything from small extraction zones to larger mining operations—one even packed with around 80 stone ax
A mysterious glow of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way has long hinted at dark matter, but the lack of similar signals in smaller dwarf galaxies has cast doubt on that idea。 Now, researchers propose a bold twist: dark matter might not be a single particle at all, but a mix of two different types that must interact with each other to produce
A new AI-driven method called GOFLOW is turning weather satellite images into highly detailed maps of ocean currents。 By tracking how temperature patterns shift over time, it can reveal fast-moving, small-scale currents that were previously impossible to observe directly。 These currents are key to understanding climate, marine ecosystems, and carbo
Researchers have, for the first time, directly visualized how electronic patterns known as charge density waves evolve across a phase transition。 Using cutting-edge microscopy, they found these patterns form unevenly, breaking into patches influenced by tiny structural distortions。 Unexpectedly, small pockets of order persist even above the transit
Deep within the brain, scientists have uncovered a hidden “switch” that may decide whether pain fades away—or lingers for months or even years。 Researchers found that a small, little-known region called the caudal granular insular cortex (CGIC) acts like a command center, telling the body to keep pain signals alive long after an injury has healed。
