Botswana intensifies dairy research at Sunnyside Ranch, crossbreeding indigenous Tswana cattle with exotic breeds to boost milk production and quality while testing tropical-adapted Girolando cattle from Brazil.
Neurons sustain DNA breaks as they migrate during fetal brain development, but cells repair the damage in safe genomic regions, preserving normal function according to Nature research.
University of Otago research reveals prolactin hormone activates a brain pathway that makes maternal caregiving feel rewarding rather than obligatory, with implications for treating postpartum mood disorders.
Expertos de la Universidad de Chicago descubren que el superenvejecimiento cognitivo no se explica únicamente por factores genéticos, abriendo nuevas vías para comprender cómo preservar la memoria en la vejez.
Four Stellenbosch University students developed electronics for a radio telescope prototype destined for China's Chang'e-8 lunar mission in 2029, advancing Africa's space capabilities and enabling unprecedented low-frequency radio astronomy from the moon.
Researchers identified nine new genes associated with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of pregnancy sickness affecting 2% of women, doubling known genetic risk factors and opening pathways for targeted treatments.
NC's upcoming MMORPG 'Aion 2' was featured at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked 2026 to demonstrate the new Galaxy Fold 8's gaming capabilities and AI-powered graphics optimization technology.
UCLA researchers discovered the first reverse-spinning comet using Hubble data, finding that outgassing jets are reversing 41P's rotation and could tear it apart within decades rather than centuries.
Salk Institute researchers discovered that acid ceramidase enzyme makes aging cells vulnerable to ferroptosis, opening a new therapeutic pathway for age-related diseases. Existing drugs targeting this enzyme could extend healthspan in aging populations.
Saturn's moon Titan, the solar system's second-largest moon, exceeds Mercury in width despite being far less massive, highlighting how size and weight diverge in space.
Scientists debate whether the Moon's far side should be reserved as a scientific preserve for astronomy and cosmology research, or opened to commercial development. A Royal Astronomical Society debate found 76% support for scientific preservation.
A viral study claiming chocolate smell boosts gym performance by 25% has significant methodological flaws that likely inflated results through placebo effects, according to exercise scientist analysis.
Researchers identified endotrophin, a protein that rises with weight gain and falls with weight loss, as a potential biomarker for metabolic health and therapeutic target for obesity-related diseases.
NASA scientists explain how Earth's disappearance of its moon would trigger cascading environmental catastrophes, from destabilized seasons to collapsed coastal ecosystems and altered animal behavior.
Personalized antisense therapy targeting mutated SCN2A genes achieved seizure reduction and neurodevelopmental improvements in two adolescent boys with severe epileptic encephalopathy, offering a middle-ground alternative to gene editing.

Wang Enge's team won China's top science award for breakthrough research on hydrogen bonds and quantum effects in water, potentially revolutionizing materials science and energy technology.
New Rutgers research using computer simulations suggests liquid water from Europa's deep ocean cannot easily rise through ice cracks to shallow reservoirs, complicating future exploration strategies for Jupiter's moon.
Astronomers using Hubble and James Webb telescopes discovered the first stellar-mass black hole in Omega Centauri, solving a decades-long mystery about missing black holes in this massive globular cluster.
Voyager 1 continues transmitting scientific data from interstellar space nearly 50 years after launch using 1970s-era computers with less power than modern car keys, surviving through careful engineering restraint and systematic power management.
Analysis of lunar far-side rocks reveals asteroid impacts declined gradually over billions of years rather than occurring in a single intense burst, challenging decades of scientific assumptions about early Solar System evolution.
