Scientists from Texas A&M examined what happens when men eat large amounts of two common antioxidants – N‑acetyl‑L‑cysteine and selenium – for six weeks. The fathers looked healthy, but their pups showed clear differences in skull shape and eye spacing. The research was published in Frontiers in
Scientists who chase the invisible mass that fills most of space often look beyond equations. Some find comfort in stories from their faith, while others see it as a distraction. A pioneering astronomer who proved that galaxies need extra gravity took her Jewish teachings to help explain the u
Scientists tested water in Brazil’s Protected Areas and found pesticide pollution almost everywhere. Samples from streams inside conservation zones and outside showed high traces of farm chemicals. The study tested 46 substances and spotted 15 types, including common herbicides, insecticides, and fu
Scientists are exploring fresh markers in the body that could help spot problems linked to how we live. These new tools look at tiny molecules and signals in blood, sweat or even breath that change when we eat poorly, sit too long or smoke. By catching these clues early, doctors might offer advice t
Scientists teamed up with a popular mayo brand to find out if the creamy condiment can play music. The idea started as a joke on a cartoon, but researchers now say it can. They used science to test whether mayo can make or change sound in a clear way. The study looked at how instruments normally wo
Scientists have found a way to shape the tiniest imperfections inside hexagonal boron nitride, a material that can act like a quantum computer’s building blocks. By shooting argon ions at the crystal, they create missing boron or nitrogen atoms—defects that can host quantum bits. The trick is to
Schools that welcome all kinds of students can help every teen feel happier and more confident. A new study shows that when high schools promote respect for LGBTQ teens, even those who are not part of the group feel more connected to their classmates and society. The researchers asked 287 straigh
Scott Wool, who started buying into a comic shop in 1987, now runs a small brick‑and‑mortar shop and a huge online presence. He has sold Pokémon cards, toys, comics, and sports memorabilia for over thirty years. After a near‑bankruptcy in 2013, his business began to thrive again, especially betwe
Scientists have created a new way to examine how bacteria and the body fight each other in urinary tract infections. Instead of keeping mice alive for experiments, they use bladders that are normally thrown away after other tests. This trick saves money and cuts down on the rules that usually protec
Scientists tested a plant compound called quercetin and a special tiny version of it on rats that ate a very fatty diet. The goal was to see if these substances could stop the rats from gaining too much weight and keep their bodies healthy. The tiny version, called nanoquercetin, is designed t
