Scientists found a hidden fat switch and turned it off
Scientists at Cleveland-based institutions have uncovered a surprising new switch that helps the body make fat — and turning it off had dramatic effects. Obesity and fatty liver disease are…
Scientists just mapped the hidden structure holding the Universe together
Scientists have produced the most detailed map ever created of dark matter that runs throughout the Universe, revealing how it has influenced the formation of stars, galaxies, and planets. The…
Scientists discover hidden geometry that bends electrons like gravity
How can information move at incredible speeds, or electricity flow without wasting energy? Answering these questions has pushed scientists and technology companies toward quantum materials, whose behavior is governed by…
A sudden signal flare reveals the hidden partner behind fast radio bursts
Astronomers from an international research team, including scientists from the Department of Physics at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), have found the clearest evidence so far that some fast…
A hidden brain signal may reveal Alzheimer’s long before diagnosis
Using a specially designed analysis tool, scientists at Brown University have identified a brain-based biomarker that may help predict whether mild cognitive impairment will progress into Alzheimer’s disease. The approach…
Decoding the perfect steak: The hidden DNA behind Wagyu’s legendary marbling
Scientists at the University of Adelaide’s Davies Livestock Research Centre (DLRC) have unveiled the most comprehensive cattle genome ever assembled, a breakthrough expected to improve Wagyu breeding and enhance beef…
Losing weight in midlife may have a hidden brain cost
Obesity remains one of the most serious health challenges worldwide, and weight loss is often encouraged as a way to lower the risks tied to excess weight. But growing research…
Hidden seismic signals hint at a tsunami threat in Alaska
Since 2020, scientists have installed monitoring instruments around the Barry Landslide in Alaska’s Prince William Sound to closely track seismic activity in the area. Their goal is to detect warning…
A hidden climate shift may have sparked epic Pacific voyages 1,000 years ago
A new study led by the University of Southampton and University of East Anglia (UEA) points to a major change in South Pacific climate conditions, beginning around 1,000 years ago,…
Ghost particles slip through Earth and spark a hidden atomic reaction
Neutrinos are among the most puzzling particles known to science and are often called ‘ghost particles’ because they so rarely interact with matter. Trillions pass through each person every second…
