A major genetic study suggests the gene behind red hair became more common in Europe over the past 10,000 years through natural selection, possibly offering advantages in low-sunlight environments and reflecting broader shifts in human survival after farming.

These microorganisms are thought to be among the most resilient “sleeping beauties” on Earth, remaining dormant for thousands or even millions of years beneath sediment layers up to a kilometer thick.

Scientists have identified a new tiny wall-dwelling spider named after Pink Floyd that preys on insects several times its size. The species may help control urban pests such as flies, mosquitoes and ants by hunting around artificial lights

Cockroaches often enter homes through drains, cracks, pipes, and everyday objects while seeking food, water, and shelter. Experts highlight simple prevention steps that can significantly reduce infestations in kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces.

Researchers warn that widespread exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE), found in water, air and everyday products, may significantly increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease and other serious health conditions

A brain aneurysm is often silent but can become life-threatening if it ruptures. Recognizing early warning signs, including sudden severe headaches, can be critical for timely medical intervention.

The Middle Awash region is a rare treasure trove of findings, offering evidence about life 100,000 years ago

A single gene-based injection has shown remarkable results in restoring hearing in patients born with severe deafness, raising hopes for a future treatment of genetic hearing loss.

During restoration work at a gate north of the temple complex of Karnak in Luxor, Egypt, archaeologists discovered a 2,000-year-old stele depicting the Roman emperor Tiberius alongside Egyptian deities

The discovery was announced by the French archaeological insitute Inrap in a press release in March

Two remarkably preserved whale skeletons uncovered on a Portuguese beach offer rare insight into early marine life, after storms stripped away layers of sand and exposed ancient remains

A major global study warns that metabolic liver disease linked to obesity and high blood sugar is rapidly rising worldwide and may become a major public health crisis within decades.

Amber, methane, and the 5,000-volt jolt. Why does static electricity shock us, and where was the secret hiding?

A fossilized reptile from an Oklahoma cave, 289 million years old, has revealed the earliest known example of thoracic breathing in amniotes

A long-term study suggests that higher vitamin D levels in midlife may reduce brain buildup of tau protein decades later, a key marker associated with Alzheimer’s disease, though further research is needed.

The first atlas of the brain's "functional architecture" has been created, showing how different regions communicate with one another from infancy to extreme old age, offering hope for better prediction of both developmental and neurodegenerative disorders

The Artemis II mission is nearing its end, with the four astronauts returning to Earth after a historic journey around the Moon, as anticipation peaks ahead of the scheduled splashdown in the Pacific Ocean

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) carries more than one hundred times more water than all the rivers on Earth combined. A new study shows that its early form influenced the climate very differently from today
