In the dark of night, a strange, electric-blue glow may reveal a creature waiting quietly under a rock or curled in a crevice. Scorpions—some of Earth’s most ancient survivors—do just that when bathed in ultraviolet light. But their glow is only part of the story. These resilient arachnids shrug off hunger, endure harsh environments, and… Read More »
Imagine a world where light and energy flow from the sky — even when it’s dark. That’s the bold promise of Virtus Solis, a startup aiming to capture sunlight from space 24/7 and beam it to Earth as power and illumination. They’re already accepting “reservations” for this orbital sunlight service, with deliveries anticipated as early… Read More »

During pregnancy, the bond between mother and child goes far deeper than love and nurture. Scientists have discovered a phenomenon called fetal-maternal microchimerism—in which cells from the fetus cross the placenta and take up long-term residence in the mother’s body. Decades later, traces of those cells remain, embedded in organs like the brain, skin, bone… Read More »
A new discovery could revolutionize how doctors treat advanced prostate cancer. Scientists from Sanford Burnham Prebys in California and the University of Bern in Switzerland have found that blocking a single enzyme, known as PI5P4Kα, can kill prostate cancer cells — even when the disease has become resistant to hormone therapy. Published in Science… Read More »
Strange Signals from Beneath the Ice Far above the frozen Antarctic continent, a balloon-borne experiment has picked up something deeply puzzling: brief, intense radio pulses seeming to rise from under the ice — not from the sky. These “upward-going” signals fly in the face of what we expect from cosmic particles. The detector,… Read More »
A major solar flare erupted from the Sun yesterday in the strongest storm seen in the current weather cycle. It fired off what is known as an X1-class solar flare, the most powerful of its kind, that peaked at 3:30 pm, according to reports. NASA officials dubbed it a “significant solar flare,” adding that… Read More »
Imagine a world in which breast cancer is no longer a surprise—where doctors can tell who is at high risk before the disease takes hold. That is the promise behind a recent wave of breakthroughs: AI models that analyze medical images and spot subtle tissue changes years before cancer develops. What the Breakthrough Is… Read More »
Modern life keeps most of us indoors surrounded by screens, concrete, and constant stress. But stepping away from the noise and spending just a few days in the forest can do more than clear your mind. According to scientific research, just three days in nature can boost your immune system by up to 80%, offering… Read More »
Imagine resetting your immune system naturally without drugs, supplements, or expensive treatments. According to groundbreaking research from the University of Southern California (USC), fasting for just 72 hours could do exactly that. The study, led by Dr. Valter Longo from the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, shows that prolonged fasting can trigger the body… Read More »
