Growing evidence indicates that pollution levels previously thought to be safe can still increase the risk of health issues, including those related to the brain.
Even long-considered “safe” air pollution levels are causing damage to our brains.

A study of good and evil in gaming – gauging game play via a “morality meter”.
Two research papers by Macquarie University reveal that people tend to disregard the “morality meter” when a moral choice is clear, but use it when the choice is more ethically ambiguous. Moreover, about ten percent of individuals will do anything to win.

A Tonga volcanic plume has produced the most intense lightning storm ever recorded, with more than 40 flashes per second!
According to a recent study in the Geophysical Research Letters journal, the plume released by the 2022 eruption of the Hunga Volcano resulted in the most lightning flashes ever observed on Earth, surpassing any previously recorded storm. Sonja Behnke, of Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Electromagnetic Sciences and Cognitive Space Applications group, noted, “The eruption of…
Research reveals surprising details about the world’s strongest spider silk.
Researchers would love to understand the secret to the impressive properties of spider silk, which is super strong, super light, and super flexible. But despite years of research, no one has been able to replicate the silk’s properties.
New study suggests adolescent alcohol binge drinking causes permanent damage to the brain.
A new Penn State study found that heavy alcohol consumption in adolescents may result in permanent “dysregulation of neurons and brain cells”.
Researchers discover remains of an extinct world – previously unknown organisms that were the dominant complex life forms on Earth around one billion years ago.
Recently discovered biomarker signatures reveal a variety of previously unknown organisms that were the dominant complex life forms on Earth around one billion years ago. These organisms differed from the complex eukaryotic life we know today, such as animals, plants, and algae, in terms of their cell structure and metabolism.
Brain-melting discovery! Researchers find COVID-19 can cause brain cells to fuse together
The University of Queensland researchers found that viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 can cause brain cells to fuse, leading to chronic neurological symptoms.
Before air conditioning, curly hair helped keep people cool.
Researchers at Loughborough University studied the role of human hair textures in regulating body temperature and found that curly hair may have helped early humans stay cool while conserving water.
Scientists finally know how a tiny little mosquito brain can process 1,000 wingbeats per second.
A team of neurobiologists from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and theoretical biologists from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin have discovered the nature of electrical activity in the nervous system of insects that controls their flight.
