Human language diversity may have reached a remarkable peak long before written records, according to a new modeling study in Science. The authors argue that...

Gene therapy and other macromolecule-based medicines face a persistent obstacle: most delivery routes rely on endocytosis, after which therapeutic cargos are trapped and degraded inside...

Brown dwarfs bridge the gap between planets and stars, occupying a mass range that challenges both definitions and expectations. In star–substellar systems, a third body...

Marine blooms that color coastal waters may be reshaped not only by sunlight and nutrients, but also by microscopic parasites. In a new study published...

A new study has turned the spotlight on an often-overlooked vascular pathway—cerebral venous blood flow—and its unexpected role in governing both intracerebral pressure and the...

A new study in Light: Science & Applications reports a metasurface platform that can tailor thermal emission in two infrared bands at the same time—without...

Tumor-killing T cells can be remarkably potent, yet in ovarian cancer they often fail to mount effective responses. A new study in Nature Metabolism points...

A new study has used high-resolution mass spectrometry imaging to map how benzalkonium—an antiseptic and common disinfectant—begins to break down inside wastewater biofilms. The work,...

Pediatric resuscitation guidelines typically pair uninterrupted chest compressions with asynchronous ventilation after an advanced airway is placed—a practice built on the idea that minimizing interruptions...

Viral science news reported a new trial aimed at improving outcomes for people living with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a disorder in which the immune...

A new study published in Nature Communications links inequality to how people move—and how they pause—across a typical day. By comparing mobility patterns with measures...

A new study in Cell Death Discovery reports how human sperm decide whether to survive or activate apoptosis, revealing a “sperm survival switch” built from...

In a new study reported in J Perinatology, researchers investigate whether exposure to SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy can shape early brain and behavioral development in children....

Lithium—once associated mainly with batteries—has been quietly showing up in human biology, according to new findings from a major U.S. cohort study. Researchers report that...

In tropical cities that expand faster than ecosystems can adapt, a new study highlights an unexpected biodiversity ally: sacred natural sites. Researchers report that these...
