    Sex leaves ‘microbial traces’ on genitalia, even when a condom is used — scientists call it the ‘sexome’

    Sex leaves ‘microbial traces’ on genitalia, even when a condom is used — scientists call it the ‘sexome’

    In general, the lady individuals had a higher volume of germs in their genital microbiomes than the male individuals did– corresponding to approximately 8,038 bacterial genetic sequences in women, compared to 6,661 in males. Men revealed a greater diversity of microbial varieties, with about twice the number of varieties represented contrasted with women. In the...


    Earthquakes at massive Alaska volcano Mount Spurr ramp up again — and there’s now a 50-50 chance of an eruption

    Earthquakes at massive Alaska volcano Mount Spurr ramp up again — and there’s now a 50-50 chance of an eruption

    Mount Spurr, a snow-covered stratovolcano that sits 77 miles (124 kilometers) across the Cook Inlet from Anchorage, has been shuddering with small earthquakes since April 2024, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO).

    Astronomers unsure what caused ‘weird explosion’ seen by Einstein Probe’s X-ray eye

    "NICER's ability to steer to pretty much any part of the sky and monitor for weeks has been instrumental in our understanding of these unusual cosmic explosions," explained Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researcher and team member Dheeraj Pasham.

    London Underground mutant mosquitoes have surprisingly ancient origins

    To learn more about its origins, Lindy McBride at Princeton University and her colleagues analysed the DNA of 790 mosquitoes from 44 countries around the world, including the molestus and pipiens forms as well as some closely related species.

    New type of brain cell may tell us when to stop eating

    In the dorsal raphe nucleus – a part of the brainstem linked to functions including eating, mood and sleep – they came across cells that produce a hormone called cholecystokinin, which helps regulate appetite.

    Most detailed survey of particles around the sun reveals new mysteries

    Most detailed survey of particles around the sun reveals new mysteries

    Researchers have been capturing cosmic rays with different detectors for more than a century because their changing properties could serve as records of the solar system’s history, says Jamie Rankin at Princeton University.


    Rice variant slashes planet-warming methane emissions by 70 per cent

    Rice variant slashes planet-warming methane emissions by 70 per cent

    “The core point of the study is they don’t use hard-core gene engineering or editing technologies or transgenic approaches,” says le Coutre.

    In 2024, the drug company Vertex Pharmaceuticals reported that Journavx reduced pain compared with a placebo in people who had abdominal or foot surgery, although the effect was modest.


    Newly discovered super-Earth orbits in and out of its star’s habitable zone. Could life survive its extreme climate?

    Newly discovered super-Earth orbits in and out of its star’s habitable zone. Could life survive its extreme climate?

    In the world, our seasons are driven by our earth’s 23.4-degree tilt; for instance, northern summertime happens when our earth’s north hemisphere is tilted towards the sunlight. No matter the tilt of HD 20794d, its seasons are rather identified by just how much it has proceeded along its eccentric orbit. It is an exceptional planet....

    Quantum-inspired algorithm could enable better weather forecasts

    Nikita Gourianov at the University of Oxford and his colleagues have now developed a new approach that uses quantum computer-inspired algorithms called tensor networks to represent turbulence probability distributions.
