The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, announced Monday, is widely expected to recognize research into appetite-regulating hormones like GLP-1 that enabled weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro.
Analysis of NASA's OSIRIS-REx samples from asteroid Bennu reveals it formed near the young solar system's water-ice line rather than the distant outer system, suggesting Jupiter played a key role in mixing primordial dust.
Engineers from Scotland and Japan will launch whisky samples into orbit in 2028 to test accelerated aging in space's extreme temperature cycles, potentially revolutionizing spirit production and orbital chemistry research.
Women are increasingly exploring acupuncture alongside conventional menopause care to address diverse perimenopause symptoms beyond hot flushes, including sleep disruption and concentration issues.
NASA's Perseverance rover discovered that Jezero Crater experienced at least three distinct episodes of water activity, revealing a more complex ancient Martian water history than previously understood from orbital observations.
Swiss watchmaker Longines expands its Spirit collection with four new timepieces for 2026, featuring blue dials and COSC-certified chronometer precision inspired by aviation heritage.
A study of 160,000 Brits found that regular DIY and housework reduces depression risk by 12-24%, with benefits comparable to exercise, suggesting physical activity from home tasks boosts mental health.
A study of 160,000 Brits found that regular DIY and housework reduce depression risk by 12-24%, with benefits comparable to exercise, potentially through endorphin release and improved self-esteem.
Research shows brain changes associated with Alzheimer's begin decades before memory problems appear, with consistent sleep patterns playing a crucial role in clearing brain inflammation and reducing dementia risk.
Fire safety experts warn that modern homes burn faster due to synthetic materials, reducing escape time from 17 to 3 minutes. Closing bedroom doors at night slows smoke spread and provides critical evacuation time.
A study finds representation of Black, South Asian, and disabled characters in UK children's books fell significantly in 2025, with only 6.9% of published titles featuring minority ethnic or disabled main characters.
Las Oriónidas, lluvia de meteoros originada por el cometa Halley, alcanzarán su punto máximo entre el 21 y 22 de octubre con hasta 20 meteoros por hora visibles desde cualquier lugar del hemisferio.
Research reveals how hydrogen stored underground interacts with minerals and brines, with sulfate minerals showing significant reactivity that can consume hydrogen and alter storage conditions.
A sonda Voyager 1 alcançará em novembro de 2026 a distância de um dia-luz da Terra, um marco nunca antes atingido por objeto humano. Sinais de rádio levarão 24 horas para chegar à sonda e uma conversa completa durará cerca de dois dias.
Víctor Glover, piloto de la misión Artemis II, compartió un mensaje reflexivo sobre la perspectiva cósmica de la humanidad, enfatizando la unidad planetaria y la fragilidad de la Tierra como hogar común en medio del universo.
China realiza el experimento Dixing-3 donde voluntarios permanecen hasta 30 días sin levantarse para estudiar cómo adaptar el cuerpo humano a la gravedad lunar, en preparación para su objetivo de alunizar tripulados antes de 2030.
Estudo britânico indica que anticorpos contra Covid-19 conseguem neutralizar coronavírus relacionados em testes de laboratório, abrindo caminhos para vacinas mais amplas, mas sem comprovar proteção em humanos.
