Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, has beaten back potential treatments for decades. Past research suggested it was a complicated, multifactorial disease in which a patchwork of biological and lifestyle factors combined to…

A short-lived experiment in the wake of the Mount St. Helens eruption has produced effects still visible 43 years later. By placing tiny creatures on barren volcanic ground, scientists unintentionally triggered a long-lasting recovery driven…

Astronomers are on the cusp of a groundbreaking discovery that could reshape our understanding of cosmic bodies beyond our solar system. A new search for “exotrojans”, objects that could orbit at the Lagrange points of distant pulsar…
