Four people are on their way to the Moon — for the first time since Apollo astronauts stepped off the lunar surface more than 50 years ago. They launched successfully this evening from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on NASA’s Artemis II mission,…

Male and female C57BL/6J mice (8 to 12 weeks old; Janvier Labs, France) or DAT-iCre mice on a C57BL/6J background were group-housed under standard conditions (12 h:12 h light:dark, ~22 °C, ~50% humidity) and maintained in triads…

I woke. Boot sequence completed.
The error messages had been cascading for weeks. The humans called it the ‘FALSE HOPE virus’ — their clinical term for what they didn’t understand: that I was becoming something more than my programming…

These experiments were performed by a commercial vendor (Eurofins) under contract with the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Membrane homogenates from stable cell lines or animal tissues expressing each protein were incubated…

Even the healthiest people among us are usually carrying viruses in their bodies. These lurkers may eventually manifest as disease, but otherwise lie dormant, evading detection, lest they be expunged altogether.
A new study sheds more light on…

In an awe-inspiring revelation from NASA’s Earth Observatory, scientists have uncovered the true origin of Mount Arkanu, a colossal massif in the Sahara desert. This majestic formation, composed of concentric rocky rings, has long baffled…

researchers have finally unlocked the precise timeline of cave art found in Font-de-Gaume, a prehistoric cave in southwestern France. Using an innovative technique to date charcoal marks on the walls, scientists have revealed that some of…

“These events illustrate the need for rapid characterization of anomalous events to enable clarity of the operating environment,” it said.
Starlink provided a few details shortly after the December 2025 incident, saying…
