In a twist of fate, a vaccine meant for shingles might also be a secret weapon against dementia. Researchers stumbled upon this clue while studying data from Wales, where a strict age rule for the shingles vaccine created a unique scenario. People born in a specific year got the shot, while those bo
People are talking about 3I/ATLAS, a space rock from another star system. Some think it might have ice volcanoes. But scientists say, not so fast. A recent study suggests that 3I/ATLAS might act like an ice volcano, but it's not the same thing. 3I/ATLAS is small, about the size of Manhattan. It's n
Neutrinos are tiny particles that barely interact with anything. They are everywhere, but we know very little about them. Scientists have long thought there might be more types of neutrinos than the three we know. But recent experiments have left them scratching their heads. Two new studies, publis
A decade after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished, the search is back on. Ocean Infinity, a U. S. marine robotics company, is set to resume the hunt for the missing plane starting December 30. This isn't their first attempt. They previously searched for about six weeks earlier this year but calle
Late December will see the return of the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. This mission was paused earlier this year due to harsh weather conditions. The search will not be continuous but will happen in spurts. The focus will be on a specific area where experts believe the plane is most lik
In the early hours of November 25, atop Hawaii's Maunakea volcano, scientists eagerly watched as the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS made its way out of our solar system. This comet, a small, blurry speck among countless stars, was more than just a celestial object—it was a time capsule, older than our
In the hunt for new ways to tackle Alzheimer's disease, scientists are turning to an unlikely source: fungi from the ocean. Alzheimer's is a tough nut to crack. It's a brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. Right now, there's no cure. But researchers are digging into the pote
COPD is a serious lung condition. It's a leading cause of death worldwide. Managing it is crucial. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an old practice. It uses herbs, acupuncture, and more. Some research says it might help with COPD. It could make breathing easier and improve lung function. But w
A comet named 3I/ATLAS is on a long trip through our solar system. It's not from around here. It came from another star system. This is only the third time scientists have seen something like this. Some people wonder if it could be from aliens. An astronomer named John Tonry works with a system tha
New Jersey has rolled out a fresh set of rules to help businesses save money on research and development. The state's tax division released a new handbook. It's all about a special tax break for companies that invest in creating new products or technologies. This handbook breaks down how companies
