Former CDC expert Charles LeBaron warns that funding cuts and HIV skepticism threaten to dismantle prevention programs, risking a return to the devastating 1983 epidemic despite the existence of effective medical treatments.
Scientists analyzing JAXA's Ryugu asteroid samples found all five nucleobases necessary for DNA and RNA, suggesting carbonaceous asteroids delivered vital life-forming chemicals to early Earth.
A new study reveals human-driven climate change, primarily via sea-level rise, is slowing Earth's rotation, increasing day length by 1.33 nanoseconds/century—an unprecedented rate in 3.6 million years that could affect precise timekeeping for spacecraft and computing.
Despite government reports, US universities largely neglect UAP research due to funding gaps, lack of methodological standards, and academic stigma. The text suggests historical lessons from other emerging disciplines to integrate UAP studies into mainstream academia.
The Amazon molly, an all-female fish, defies extinction via asexual reproduction. It uses gene conversion, a copy-and-paste DNA repair system, to erase harmful mutations and spread beneficial ones, challenging long-held evolutionary assumptions.
New research shows microplastics impair macrophage function, hindering the body's ability to fight infections and clear dead cells. This impacts fertility and may worsen diseases like atherosclerosis, raising significant human health concerns.
A new zoo study reveals bonobos, often seen as 'hippie' primates, are as aggressive as chimpanzees. Female bonobos show more aggression toward males, while male chimps target females, challenging their peaceful reputation. This insight into primate conflict is crucial.
A rare gamma-ray burst from merging neutron stars has been found in a hidden mini-galaxy, providing clues about the universe's heavy metals and why stars form in unexpected locations.
Scientists guided 100-micron electrokinetic robots using light patterns based on general relativity, demonstrating navigation in mazes. This tech, mimicking gravity, offers a potential breakthrough for microrobot applications in medicine and manufacturing.
Neuroimmunologist Dr. Geoffroy Laumet explores how the immune system and IL-10 molecules help resolve chronic pain, highlighting key biological differences in how men and women recover from injury.
