More than a decade after Hurricane Sandy flooded the East Coast and killed over 200 people, a new study has revealed the storm’s lasting impact on mortality risk among older adults. The researchers linked hurricane flood exposure to a 9% increase in risk of death for people over the age of 65 who continued living in the area after landfall. …

Blood sugar fluctuations can have a significant impact on your brain chemistry, contributing to mood swings, irritability, and even clinical depression. When glucose levels drop too low or spike too high, it can lead to emotional volatility, anxiety, or feeling “on edge” for no clear reason. Women may misattribute these symptoms to PMS, work stress, or family issues, but unmanaged …

(Credit: University of Trento/NASA) Welcome to this installment of The Intelligence Brief… This week, a groundbreaking new study using NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has identified over a dozen newly confirmed pit craters on the Moon that could serve as natural entrances to underground environments—some of which may be ideal for future astronaut shelters. In our analysis, we’ll explore 1) how …

A hidden lake beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet unexpectedly drained more than a decade ago, fracturing the ice surface and forming a large crater — an event only recently uncovered by Earth-observing satellites. The massive ice sheet, located in a remote region of northern Greenland, harbors a subglacial lake that appears to have flooded in 2014, releasing 23.8 billion gallons …

After spending months without eating, drinking, or moving, hibernating mammals must rebound from extreme physiological changes. Two new studies suggest that the genetic “superpowers” underlying this incredible resilience may also be present in the human genome. For these studies, published Thursday, July 31, in the journal Science, researchers at the University of Utah honed in on the specific DNA regions …

Zealandia, a submerged landmass primarily located beneath the Pacific Ocean, has long intrigued geologists and researchers. For years, it was largely overlooked, its true nature shrouded in mystery due to its mostly submerged form. Now, after years of exploration and research, Zealandia is officially recognized as Earth’s eighth continent. A major milestone was achieved with the comprehensive mapping of this …

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Zealandia, considered a candidate for the Earth’s eighth continent, was mostly lost to the sea. Geologists say they’ve now mapped the entire nearly two million square miles of the underwater land mass. The research team used rock samples from the seabed to analyze and date the undersea geology of North Zealandia, …

A new study has rewritten a key chapter in the story of vertebrate evolution. Researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the Smithsonian Institution in the United States have revealed that many of the muscles once believed to define the anatomy of the coelacanth, a fish often described as a “living fossil,” were in fact misidentified …
