Scientists Are Pretty Sure Betelgeuse Has Been Hiding Something BigSomeone must have said its name three times.

Here's What Killed Hulk HoganHulk Hogan, one of the most famed professional wrestlers of all time, has passed away at the age of 71 in his home near Tampa, Florida.

Changes in female body odor during ovulation elicit measurable reactions in men, finds studyResearchers at the University of Tokyo have explored how female body odor can influence behaviors in men. They found that certain scent compounds in female body odor increased during ovulation and can subtly influence how men feel.

Living near water could mean you'll live longerLiving within miles of the ocean breeze may be linked to a longer life, but you shouldn't count on the same benefits if you live in a riverside city, suggests a recent study.

Studies confirm influence of country of origin on trust in COVID-19 vaccinesDuring Brazil's COVID-19 vaccination campaign, when several brands of vaccines were available and the Chinese vaccine was the most common, an unprecedented phenomenon occurred. People crossed neighborhoods or even cities in search of vaccination centers that administered a specific brand of vaccine.

96% of oceans worldwide experienced extreme heatwaves in 2023, new study findsThe extreme marine heatwaves of 2023 may signal a tipping point for Earth's climate, a new study suggests.

Warming Arctic lakes may release more methane than expectedThe findings are important because methane is over 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Arctic lakes are already major natural methane sources globally, but the processes that control how methane is produced and released from lake sediments have remained poorly understood—until now.

The James Webb Space Telescope has found the most distant galaxy ever seen, at the dawn of the cosmos. Again. | BBC Sky at Night MagazineAt a redshift of z = 14.44, MoM-z14 usurps the former record holder JADES-GS-z14-0. Quick guide to Webb's discovery.

The Best—And Worst—Foods During a Heat WaveIt's easy to lose your appetite when it's too hot out. But eating the right foods will help you beat the heat.

COVID vaccines saved 2. 5M lives globally—a death averted per 5,400 shotsBetween 2020 and 2024, COVID-19 vaccines saved 2.5 million lives globally, preventing one death for every 5,400 doses. A groundbreaking worldwide study led by researchers from Università Cattolica and Stanford University reveals that most lives were saved before individuals were exposed to the virus, particularly during the Omicron period and among those aged 60+. The researchers also calculated 14.8 million years of life saved, with the elderly gaining the majority of these benefits.

The first 100% effective HIV prevention drug is approved and going globalAn epidemic that's been sustained for 44 years might finally be quelled, with the milestone approval of the first HIV drug that offers 100% protection with its twice-yearly injections. It's a landmark achievement that stands to save millions of lives across the globe. The makers are also providing…

Neanderthals likely ate fermented meat with a side of maggotsScientists long thought that Neanderthals were avid meat eaters. Based on chemical analysis of Neanderthal remains, it seemed like they'd been feasting on as much meat as apex predators such as lions and hyenas. But as a group, hominins—that's Neanderthals, our species and other extinct close relatives—aren't specialized flesh eaters. Rather, they're more omnivorous, eating plenty of plant foods, too.

Quantum tunneling mystery solved after 100 years—and it involves a surprise collisionFor the first time ever, scientists have watched electrons perform a bizarre quantum feat: tunneling through atomic barriers by not just slipping through, but doubling back and slamming into the nucleus mid-tunnel. This surprising finding, led by POSTECH and Max Planck physicists, redefines our understanding of quantum tunneling—a process that powers everything from the sun to your smartphone.
