When the air feels itchy and your hair jumps, it might mean a storm is coming. Scientists noticed a faint blue light that sometimes appears on tree tops during heavy weather. This glow, called corona discharge, is a tiny electric spark that can be seen when the sky splits into two layers of charge.
The day kicked off with a surprising baseball moment: Scituate’s senior pitcher, Micke Kostek, retired every batter he faced and struck out 11 in a clean 3‑0 victory over Whitman‑Hanson, marking the first perfect game in that program’s history. Meanwhile, Ursuline girls’ lacrosse saw Maddy Lubov

A long-term study following British people born in 1958 reveals how social class moves—or doesn’t—affect health decades later.

The body has a clever trick to stay warm in cold weather: it burns fat to generate heat. This process, called adaptive thermogenesis, acts like a built-in heater but also helps fight obesity. Scientists recently discovered a protein called Feimin that plays a key role in turning on this fat-burning
Saudi Arabia offers a unique setting to study headaches because its population is deeply religious. Researchers wanted to know how common headaches are there and whether they connect to mental health issues. They also wondered if a person’s level of faith changes that connection. The team ran a nat
A study looked at how Preksha Dhyana (PD) meditation changes the body’s chemistry. Researchers tested 38 healthy adults who had never meditated before. Half did an 8-week PD course while the others did nothing. Blood samples were taken before and after. The meditators showed higher levels of specifi
