NASA is set to launch four astronauts on Artemis II, a 10-day crewed mission around the moon marking humanity's farthest spaceflight in 54 years and a critical step toward lunar surface landing before China.
Magnetic analysis of Colombian volcanic rocks reveals the collision between Central and South America's tectonic plates occurred earlier than previously believed, with major deformation happening during the Oligocene-middle Miocene rather than the late Miocene.
A family in Vietnam's Phu Tho Province discovered a 13-foot reticulated python near their chicken coop after heavy rain and worked with neighbors and forestry officials to safely capture and release the critically endangered species.
In 2008, NASA's Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project restored 1,478 magnetic tapes and obsolete drives in a converted McDonald's restaurant to recover high-resolution lunar photographs from 1966-1967 missions that prepared for Apollo.
The Moon is in Waning Crescent phase on September 9, 2026, with only 4% of its surface visible. The next Full Moon will occur on September 26.
A study suggests acetaminophen use during pregnancy may be associated with structural changes in daughters' reproductive organs, though medical experts maintain the painkiller remains safe when medically necessary.
Researchers analyzing 1,700+ supernovae suggest cosmic acceleration may be illusory, challenging a Nobel Prize-winning discovery. The findings remain disputed within the cosmology community.
GPS collar tracking in African national parks reveals lions actively approach hyenas during encounters, contrary to assumptions that hyenas simply scavenge from lions. The study demonstrates a consistent behavioral pattern where hyenas retreat from lions.
Ancient Rome's biggest fresco and mosaic, discovered 30 years ago, are now open to the public for the first time, offering unprecedented access to major archaeological treasures.
Scientists plan to launch CosmoCube, a satellite to the moon's far side, to detect faint 21-cm radio signals from neutral hydrogen in the early universe, potentially revealing how the first stars and galaxies formed.
UCLA researchers identified how stress causes structural changes in brain astrocytes that may explain anxiety and depression, with early evidence suggesting an existing MS drug could reverse these changes.
A randomized controlled trial found stevia produced no significant changes in blood glucose, insulin, appetite, or food intake compared to water across normal weight, overweight, and type 2 diabetic adults.
Astronomers using South Africa's MeerKAT telescope successfully detected faint hydrogen radio signals from billions of light-years away, enabling efficient 3D mapping of the Universe across vast cosmic distances.
Leonie Keogh organizes Walk 4 Hope fundraiser on September 20 to raise $2,000 for Huntington's disease research and support, a rare neurological condition affecting five members of her family across three generations.
A study of 300 Australian children aged 10-17 found nearly two-thirds received grooming-related communication from online strangers in the past year, with one-third reporting direct requests for sexual information or images.
El telescopio Hubble ha observado N44, una región estelar en la Gran Nube de Magallanes, revelando una superburbuja de 210 por 140 años luz dominada por la actividad de estrellas masivas que transforman el material interestelar.
A major leak has revealed new worlds and extensive gameplay details for Kingdom Hearts 4, including achievement lists and world names like Quadratum and Galaxy Far, Far Away.
GLP-1 prescriptions for children under 12 in the US have increased over 30,000% since 2019, though absolute numbers remain rare, according to a new study.
Research from Monash and University of Sydney shows walking intensity combined with step count can reduce early death risk by up to 43%, challenging the popular 10,000-step daily target.
A University of Colorado study of 396,000 women found menopause appears nearly seven times more often in patient surveys than in electronic health records, highlighting a critical gap in women's reproductive health documentation.
Australian research finds that walking at a brisk pace with fewer steps or more steps at a gentle pace can reduce early death risk by up to 43%, challenging the universal 10,000-step daily target.
A breakthrough study using FAST and DESI telescopes reveals that declining star formation across the universe is not caused by gas shortage, but by galaxies' inability to convert hydrogen into star-forming molecular clouds.
A study of 20,000 quasars reveals some supermassive black holes grow much faster than expected, with mass ratios 10 times larger than the cosmic norm, challenging current galaxy-black hole evolution models.
Pesquisa da Nature Aging mostra que o corpo humano envelhece em picos concentrados, não linearmente, com mudanças estruturais aceleradas aos 30 e 50 anos em diferentes órgãos.
Queen Mary University research shows caffeine activates AMPK, an ancient cellular energy system linked to stress resistance and DNA repair, potentially explaining its connection to healthier aging.
