COVID-19 is still around, but it's not the same as it was at the start. It's become more like a common illness that keeps popping up in different places. Even with vaccines and health rules, the virus changes, people's immunity shifts, and the environment plays a role in how it spreads and how sick
Muscles get bigger when we exercise, but the science behind it is not as straightforward as it seems. Hormones are key players in this process. For a long time, scientists focused on testosterone in men. But what about estrogen? A new study took a closer look at how estrogen affects muscle growth in
People are using smart computers to make new medicines. These computers can look at tiny parts of medicine and guess how they work. They can also make new medicines that might help people feel better. First, the computers learn about medicines. They look at how medicines are built. Then, they guess
Spanish imperial eagles start life with bright orange feathers. But over time, these feathers change color. This is not because they grow new feathers. It is because of sunlight. Scientists studied this effect. They took feathers from young eagles. Then, they put these feathers in the sun for 15 we
Ancient cultures had a knack for weaving tales around the mysteries of nature. These stories, often dismissed as mere folklore, are now being scrutinized by researchers who see them as potential windows into past natural events. Adrienne Mayor, a folklorist and historian, has been at the forefront o
Trichinella, a sneaky worm, causes long-term infections by hiding in muscle cells. It's a big problem worldwide. Scientists know that ivermectin, a common drug, works well on adult worms in the gut but fails against the larvae in muscles. Why? They thought the collagen capsule around the larvae migh
Crown-of-thorns sea stars (CoTS) are a big problem for coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific. They eat a lot of coral, especially certain types like Acropora. But why do they prefer some corals over others? Scientists think it might have something to do with coral venom. They looked at the venom of differ
Quercetin is a superstar nutrient found in many fruits and veggies. It's great for health, but getting it out of plants is tricky. Old ways use lots of time and bad chemicals. Now, scientists made a smart polymer that loves quercetin. It's like a magnet, but for molecules. They made this polymer us
NASA's ESCAPADE mission is a prime example of how space exploration is evolving. Launched in late 2025, this mission aims to study Mars' magnetic field and the solar wind's impact on the planet's atmosphere. The twin probes are part of NASA's SIMPLEx program, which focuses on low-cost, high-risk mis
Winter is here, and so are the winter jackets. But have you ever wondered how these jackets keep you warm? It's not just about the fluffiness or the thickness. It's about science and technology working together to keep you cozy. The science behind winter jackets is based on three main ways heat mov
