Against the backdrop of high market demand for effective anti-ageing cosmetics, a team of Chinese researchers assessed the clinical effectiveness of a 0.1 % pterostilbene-containing skincare emulsion against a control emulsion over 28 days with 31 participants. The study employed a double-blind, split-face design, comparing the left and right sides of the face and using advanced instruments along with subject …

A groundbreaking 15-year study has confirmed what many nutritionists have long suspected: diet plays a critical role in how the brain and body age, especially when it comes to the onset of dementia and other chronic illnesses. “Our results show how important diet is in influencing the development of multimorbidity in ageing populations,” said Adrián Carballo-Casla, co-author of the study …

“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links.” Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: In 1956, physicist David Pines theorized the existence of a massless, neutral plasmon called a “demon” that could help explain the superconductivity of some exotic materials. Now, scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champlain have found …

A vast network of 332 submarine canyons has been discovered beneath Antarctica’s icy perimeter, dramatically expanding scientists’ understanding of how the continent interacts with global ocean systems. The findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal Marine Geology, stem from what researchers describe as the most detailed map ever produced of the Antarctic seafloor. The research, led by Dr David Amblàs of …

In May, the Trump administration released its fiscal 2026 budget request, which called for cutting National Science Foundation and NASA science budgets by more than half. The administration’s proposed NOAA budget, released a few weeks later, proposes eliminating the agency’s scientific research arm altogether, terminating over 1,000 additional employees and shuttering around a dozen institutes, including GFDL. It includes the …

It’s the most tried and true health advice: regular exercise is key to warding off obesity, aging and chronic diseases.  Mountains of research also shows working out just a few days a week could slash the risk of dying from cancer. However, a new study has pinpointed a specific workout routine shown to slow the growth of cancer cells, even …

Scientists have uncovered a novel way to trap a harmful gut molecule before it can wreak havoc on blood sugar levels and liver health.  A team from McMaster University, Université Laval and the University of Ottawa in Canada discovered that a byproduct created by gut bacteria, called D-lactate, can enter the bloodstream and prompt the liver to produce more fat and …

Javier Zayas Photography/Getty Images Space is a near-perfect vacuum, which means there’s no air to carry smells the way we experience them on Earth. Yet astronauts have reported different smells when returning from their space walks. How is that possible? Additionally, scientists can study celestial bodies and use this information to make educated …

Today, the near-Earth asteroid known as Ryugu is bone dry. But new research suggests that the half-mile space rock may have once been flowing with liquid water — and crucially, at a period in the solar system’s history far later than when that would have been thought possible.  The findings, published in a new study in the journal Nature, could …

IN A NUTSHELL 🚀 The CNTR system uses liquid uranium, doubling the efficiency of traditional nuclear engines for space travel. 🛠 Overcoming engineering challenges is crucial for the CNTR’s success, with a focus on stable operations and fuel management. 🌌 With a projected specific impulse of 1,800 seconds, the CNTR promises to shorten Mars missions to just 420 days round-trip. …
