These ancient quasars shouldn't exist so soon after the Big Bang

Astronomers have uncovered 31 of the oldest known quasars, including the two earliest ever detected, shining from a time when the universe was only about 670 million years old. Powered by supermassive black holes billions of times the Sun’s mass, these incredibly bright objects c

STING protein: Study finds new ways for the body to activate and possibly control inflamma

Understanding inflammation—and, above all, how to regulate it—is one of the great medical challenges of modern medicine. Its role as the first line of defense is crucial. It occurs when the presence of infectious agents triggers an inflammatory response. As well as hindering the

Rare fossil goose rewrites the story of New Zealand's giant birds

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown fossil goose that challenges a decades-old theory about the evolution of New Zealand's birds. The find suggests the country's giant flightless geese evolved from much more recent arrivals, revealing a far more dynamic evolutionary h

Second pregnancy changes the brain in surprising new ways

Researchers found that every pregnancy rewires the brain in its own way, with a second pregnancy bringing a different pattern of changes than the first. The discoveries could lead to better ways to recognize and treat maternal mental health challenges, including peripartum depres

Could permanent magnets protect astronauts from solar storms?

Shielding astronauts from the deadly radiation they face is a central challenge for any designer of a deep-space crewed mission. Even relatively low levels of exposure over long periods can lead to everything from central nervous system damage to cancer. But current solutions, su
