We don’t hibernate like bears, but a new study shows humans do need more sleep in the winter.

Man having a sleep in San Cristóbal, Cusco, Peru

A recent study published in Frontiers in Neuroscience has provided evidence that humans experience longer REM sleep in winter and less deep sleep in autumn, even in urban populations where sleep is commonly disrupted.

NGC 1433 spiral arms are littered with evidence of extremely young stars releasing energy

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is providing unprecedented resolution at infrared wavelengths to researchers who are getting their first look at nearby galaxies’ star formation, gas, and dust. As a result, the team has produced 21 research papers that give new insights into how the beginnings of star formation impact the evolution of galaxies.

James Webb Telescope Pandora's Cluster NIRCam Image

Astronomers have just revealed the latest deep field image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The telescope captured never-before-seen details in a region of space known as Pandora’s Cluster, and it’s mind-boggling!

Supernova 1994D (SN1994D) in galaxy NGC 4526

A team of scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has made a groundbreaking discovery in their search for evidence of a newly predicted phenomenon in Einstein’s theory of gravity called “cosmological coupling.”

Climate change? Telly, one of the first villages in the Bandiagara escarpment in Mali

Climate models are programmed to simulate past climates to assess their accuracy against geological evidence. However, conflicts can arise between the model simulations and the evidence, creating a conundrum.

The study shows that the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes after a COVID-19 infection is not just an early observation but is, in fact, a real risk that has persisted through the Omicron era.

Healthy brain compared to a brain suffering from Alzheimer's Disease

Researchers showed the 1958 Orsen Welles film noir “Touch of Evil” to mice and observed their brain activity to learn how neurons form memories. This is groundbreaking because, according to the textbooks, mice should not show any interest in such a movie.

Serial transverse CT scans in a 65-year-old man with severe COVID-19

A recent study found that lung abnormalities may still be present in COVID-19 patients even two years after they were infected.

Caltech engineers have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci’s understanding of gravity, although not entirely accurate, was ahead of his time by centuries.

Micrograph of Hodgkin lymphoma cancer cells

A new study about Hodgkin lymphoma, a blood cancer, has provided new insights into how cancer cells survive. Scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute found that cancer cells are able to protect themselves by using signals to control certain types of immune cells, preventing them from attacking the cancer cells.

The James Webb Telescope uncovers new details in Pandora’s Cluster in a stunning deep-field image of the megacluster.

Team discovers the first observational evidence linking black holes to dark energy.

Before man-induced climate change, was the Earth warming or cooling down? A new study says it’s more complicated than that.

COVID findings just keep getting worse. New research shows COVID-19 infection increases diabetes risk, the most significant contributor to cardiovascular disease. But if you were vaccinated before infection…

Plot twist: Mice watching Orsen Welles movie offer new insights into Alzheimer’s diagnosis and treatment.

The first research paper with two-year follow-up data on COVID-19 effects finds lung abnormalities even two years after infection.

In the early 1500’s, Leonardo da Vinci explored gravity as a form of acceleration and modelled the gravitational constant to around 97% accuracy.
