Since the beginning of our existence, humans have been searching for the key to longevity. This idea to live longer, or even live forever, has been the focal point of countless books, movies, television shows, songs, and more. While we may not have figured out how to live forever, we discover more about living longer...
One of evolutionary biology’s most fascinating mysteries is the origin of the anus. New genetic evidence suggests that this intriguing structure might have evolved from an opening that was used to release sperm. Studies conducted on sea worms, specifically, Xenoturbella bocki and its developmental genetics suggest that this reproductive opening eventually merged with the digestive...
The body is remarkably good at healing. However, some parts of it are more adept than others. One example is cartilage in the knee. It has no direct blood supply, making it harder to mend, and some tears can’t recover without surgery. Now, surgery can stimulate repair or replace cartilage in the knee from another...
The moment of death doesn’t end your awareness. Your brain fully registers what’s happening even as your heart stops beating. Scientists now confirm you remain conscious after death, aware of your passing. You lie there as doctors pronounce you clinically dead. But somewhere deep in your mind, you stay present, witnessing your passing. It sounds like fiction....
When you think of stroke and stroke victims, what do you think of? Usually, we attribute strokes to older populations and those with underlying conditions, such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. There is another, lesser known common cause of stroke that researchers have found a five-fold increase in hospitalizations for. This cause is...

The collision left 135 people injured and 25 dead, one of which was 49-year-old Charles E. Peck. His body was...
Recent archaeological findings in Jerusalem are bringing Bible stories to life. New scientific evidence about Jesus’ burial site has emerged. Excavations beneath the Church of the Holy Sepulchre reveal connections between ancient scripture and physical history. Ancient Garden Confirms Gospel Accounts First, scientists found evidence of a garden that once existed at Jesus’ burial site....
Mount Spurr has begun to stir after decades of silence. This 11,070-foot stratovolcano sits 81 miles west of Anchorage, Alaska. For years, it remained quiet—its snow-covered peak barely drawing attention. But now, scientists are watching closely as the mountain shows signs of a possible volcanic eruption. The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) has recorded more than...
Space travel is full of firsts, but few are as bold as what SpaceX just pulled off. On April 1, 2025, the company launched a mission that had never been done before—sending people into a polar orbit around Earth. The mission, called Fram2, redefined what’s possible in human spaceflight by orbiting Earth’s poles. This wasn’t...
There’s a common myth saying people only use 10% of their brains. This idea has been turned into films and the basis of self-help programs that promise to “unlock” your full potential. Neuroscientists have since debunked this myth, and PET scans show activity in the entire brain in real time. However, one French man is...
We know that cancer, diet, and inflammation are all closely linked. This is especially when talking about cancers of the digestive tract, such as colorectal cancer. A new study conducted by researchers at the University of South Florida and Tampa General Hospital Cancer Institute has demonstrated a potential connection between colorectal cancer and ultra-processed foods....
The latest trade battle between the United States and China isn’t just a political headline—it’s about to hit your shopping cart. President Trump recently ramped up tariffs on Chinese imports, bumping them to as high as 125%. China responded quickly, announcing an 84% tariff on goods from the US. These aren’t just numbers; they represent...
