Children Are Drawing Female Scientists More Than Ever, And A 50-Year Study Reveals Why
For decades, asking children to draw a scientist produced a remarkably predictable result. Most would sketch a man wearing a white lab coat, often complete with glasses, facial hair, and laboratory equipment. Women were almost entirely absent from these drawings, reflecting a long-standing stereotype about who belongs in science. Now, researchers examining more than 20,000…
Archaeologists Discover a Lost Church Beneath Turkey That Could Solve a 1,700-Year-Old Christian Mystery
For more than 1,700 years, historians have debated where one of Christianity’s most influential gatherings took place. Now, archaeologists investigating an ancient site in Turkey believe they may have uncovered the remains of a church connected to the historic meeting, potentially bringing researchers closer to solving a mystery that has endured since the fourth century.…
Scientists Reversed Signs of Aging in Mice in Just 30 Days by Targeting a Brain Protein
Scientists investigating why the body ages have uncovered a surprising clue inside the brain. By restoring a protein called Menin in older mice, researchers reversed several age-related changes in just 30 days, including problems with memory, balance, bone mass, and skin thickness. The findings suggest that certain biological processes associated with aging may be more…
Experiments Suggest Time Travel May Not Break Reality — It May Reveal That All of Reality Exists at Once.
What if travelling into the past did not destroy reality, but revealed something strange about how the universe works? Physicists are investigating questions that sound like science fiction, using quantum experiments to test ideas about time loops, cause and effect, and whether the past and future might be connected in ways we barely understand. The…

Scientists Discover a Human Brain Gene That Can Jump Through DNA and Has Turned Up in a Virus
Scientists have discovered a human gene with an unusual ability that has survived millions of years of evolution. Known as BC200, the gene is associated with brain cells, yet it can still jump through genetic material and insert copies of itself into new locations. Even more surprisingly, researchers have found BC200 sequences inside a virus…
