A new study links men who consumed high rates of ultra-processed foods to a 29% higher risk for developing colorectal cancer than men who consumed much smaller amounts. The researchers did not find the same association in women.
Women still do the bulk of unpaid work at home while also holding down a job. A new review finds this double burden is taking a toll on their mental health.
Researchers have found a naturally occurring compound, known as hydroquinine, has bacterial killing activity against several microorganisms.
Researchers have gained important insight into how the human brain processes an object in the visual system and where in the brain this processing takes place. The study shows people perceive objects differently depending on their prior knowledge and e…
St. Jude Global and international partners launched SAFER Ukraine to help Ukrainian children with cancer and blood disorders safely continue treatment, creating a model for how organizations can respond to other crises.
A person’s blood type may be linked to their risk of having an early stroke, according to a new meta-analysis. The meta-analysis included all available data from genetic studies focusing on ischemic strokes, which are caused by a blockage of blood flow…
New research confirms that ethnicity is a risk factor for developing kidney disease in people with Type 1 diabetes. The findings also show people of African-Caribbean heritage and living with diabetes have nearly a 60 percent greater risk of advanced k…
A new method for correcting errors in the calculations of quantum computers potentially clears a major obstacle to a powerful new realm of computing.
The risk of children being orphaned per COVID-19 death is highest in the poorest countries and those where people of reproductive age have the highest rates of non-communicable diseases, according to a new study.
A review of 22 previously published studies suggests that taking micro-breaks — discontinuing a task for periods of 10 minutes or less — is generally associated with reduced fatigue and increased vigor.
A new study points to possible new treatments for chronic pain with a surprising link to lung cancer. Findings of the research, conducted in laboratory mouse models, open up multiple therapeutic opportunities that could allow the world to improve chron…
NASA’s MAVEN and the United Arab Emirates’ EMM missions have released joint observations of dynamic proton aurora events at Mars. By combining the observations, scientists determined that what they were seeing was essentially a map of where the solar w…
Nuclear physicists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have new evidence that particles called gluons reach a steady ‘saturated’ state inside the speeding ions. The evidence is suppression of back-to-back pairs of…
A new study could lead to ongoing health monitoring of astronauts to assess possible health risks and prevent disease progression.
According to a new study from an international team led by researchers, the oxygen-deficient zones that occur in the open ocean shrank in long warm periods of the past.
Most of us think little of why we feel pleasantly full after eating a big holiday meal, why we start to cough after accidentally inhaling campfire smoke, or why we are hit with sudden nausea after ingesting something toxic. However, such sensations are…
The protons and neutrons that build the nucleus of the atom frequently pair up. Now, a new high-precision experiment has found that these particles may pick different partners depending on how packed the nucleus is. The data also reveal new details abo…
Neuroscientists discovered the mechanism underlying the oscillator circuit that controls the rhythmic extension and retraction of whiskers in mice.
New research has found women — when height is accounted for — have a 50% higher risk of developing the abnormal heart rhythm disturbance when compared to men.
