A new Stanford University study suggests that the “biological clock” also applies to men. Researchers found that advanced paternal age is linked to higher risks such as premature birth and low birth weight. Babies with fathers aged 45 or older faced a 14% greater chance of being born prematurely and an 18% higher risk of […]

A clinical trial with over 1,000 participants has revealed that a small daily dose of aspirin can reduce the likelihood of colorectal tumors returning after surgery by more than half. This accessible and affordable medication could significantly improve outcomes for cancer survivors carrying certain genetic mutations. Large-scale genetic screening Scientists from the Karolinska Institutet and

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) have created an AI model capable of predicting solar wind speeds up to four days ahead with far greater accuracy than existing techniques, according to a study in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. Solar wind consists of a constant flow of charged particles emitted by the Sun. When it

A recent NASA study shows that the Sun has been growing more active since 2008. While solar activity typically follows 11-year cycles, it also experiences longer-term shifts that can span decades. For example, solar activity had been steadily declining since the 1980s, reaching a record low in 2008. At the time, scientists believed the Sun

In a quiet room at the University of Cambridge, something remarkable took place—not through technology or programming, but through simple conversation. A group of informal caregivers, emotionally drained from looking after loved ones, found solace not in therapy or peer support, but in the presence of a humanoid robot called Pepper. This wasn’t a scene

Researchers at ICN2 have found that bending ice produces electricity, offering new insight into the origin of lightning. Ubiquitous in nearly all cold ecosystems, ice is still unveiling hidden properties. Ice Proven to Be Flexoelectric Through International Collaboration In a global collaboration with Xi’an Jiaotong University (China) and Stony Brook University (USA), the Catalan Institute

According to a study from the University of Michigan, dinosaurs influenced Earth so profoundly that their abrupt extinction caused widespread landscape transformations—including alterations in river patterns—which are now preserved in the geologic record. Scientists have long noticed a sharp contrast in rock formations from the time just before and just after the dinosaurs’ extinction. Traditionally,

Your morning coffee may do more than just wake you up—it might also weaken donated blood. A recent large study reveals that caffeine reduces the quality of red blood cells, which can make transfusions less effective, particularly for patients who rely on them the most. Worldwide, around one billion people—about 12.6% of the global population—drink
