A meteorite discovered in Somalia has revealed two new minerals, offering clues about asteroid formation and the solar system’s past. The El Ali meteorite, weighing over 15 tonnes, was first identified in 2020. Researchers analyzing a 70-gram sample found minerals never seen on Earth. They named the minerals elaliite, after the meteorite’s location, and elkinstantonite,...

Sharing bathrooms with people undergoing chemotherapy poses serious hazards. Most people never consider this danger. The Hidden Dangers in Shared Spaces Chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells. It attacks cancer. It also...
What if we could turn back the clock on our cells? Sounds like wishful thinking, right? Well, it’s getting closer to reality. British researchers have successfully “rejuvenated” skin cells from a 53-year-old woman. They reprogrammed them to behave like cells that are 30 years younger. This breakthrough in reverse aging could revolutionize regenerative medicine. This...
Have you ever wondered how cholesterol in your body can lead to a heart attack? Well, first of all, you need to know that vascular plaque starts with inflammation. Say for instance, your blood pressure has been running high for quite some time. What happens is that high blood pressure starts to put considerable strain...
When Ron Garan, a former NASA astronaut, spent 178 days in space, he experienced a profound cognitive shift known as the ‘overview effect.’ This phenomenon, common among astronauts, involves a feeling of awe and a realization of the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. Garan’s time on the International Space Station (ISS) gave him a...
We all know the old expression, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”.

What happens when a hair is plucked has been revealed by an eye-opening simulation. On the surface, it appears simple: the hair is grabbed and pulled. However, a drama unfolds beneath the surface that is rarely considered. When hair is plucked, a chain of events is initiated that is just now being properly observed by...
Have you ever peeked into a genius’s home? If you ever had, you’d probably spot clutter. There’s an interesting link between intelligence and messiness. It’s not laziness or carelessness – it’s brain science! The psychology behind why intelligent people have cluttered homes might just make you feel better about your own “lived-in” space. And let’s...
Physicists believe a mirror universe might exist where time moves backward, possibly happening before the Big Bang. This idea comes from CPT symmetry, which suggests the universe stays balanced if charge, direction, and time are flipped. To keep this balance, some scientists think our universe has an opposite version, where time flows in reverse. In...
Woody Harrelson created some rather controversial backlash after recently appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Saturday, the 22 February. They were discussing Dr. Anthony Fauci and he confidently called him “extraordinarily evil” based on his role in promoting azidothymidine (AZT). AZT is the first antiretroviral drug approved for treating HIV/AIDS. Woody Harrelson claimed...
The inner core of our planet is changing, to the surprise of many scientists. Earth’s core was previously assumed to be solid and unmoving, although that assumption was long-debated. In a groundbreaking study, researchers used seismic waves from earthquakes to determine the shape of the core by analyzing how the waves travel to the opposite...
