It might not hurt or itch, yet it feels important enough to raise questions. Many people experience this quiet concern, wondering whether their body…
Why the Universe Has Not Introduced Us to Aliens
For more than half a century, humanity has stared into the night sky with a single, unsettling question echoing through science, philosophy, and imagination alike. If the universe is so vast, so old, and so full of stars, why does it appear so quiet? Every new telescope, every upgraded radio array, and every planetary discovery…
Four-Year Study of 28 Million Adults Finds No Increased Mortality From COVID Vaccines
Five years ago, healthcare workers around the world rolled up their sleeves and received an injection that would spark one of modern medicine’s most heated debates. Millions followed in the months ahead, lining up at pharmacies, stadiums, and makeshift clinics to receive their COVID-19 vaccines. Others refused, citing concerns about long-term effects that no one…
NASA Voyager Discovers Scorching Boundary At The Edge Of The Solar System
For more than four decades NASA’s Voyager spacecraft have been quietly drifting through space, carrying with them humanity’s curiosity, questions, and ambitions. Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were never expected to become cosmic pioneers at the edge of our solar neighborhood. Yet today they are doing exactly that, sending back information from…
A Boeing 737 Vanished for 13 Years Without Crashing or Flying Anywhere
For most people, losing something usually means misplacing a phone, a wallet, or a set of keys that eventually turn up somewhere obvious after hours of frustration.

Aviation is built on layers of documentation, asset registers, maintenance logs, inspections, and regulatory oversight…
Radio Waves Meant for Submarines Created an Invisible Shield in Space
Humanity has a habit of changing the planet in ways no one expects. We see it in rising sea levels and vanishing glaciers. We saw it when the DART mission knocked an asteroid off course, proving our species could move celestial bodies. Yet some of our most profound impacts happen without any intention at all,…
NYC Teachers Say Many Teens Can’t Read Analog Clocks After Cellphone Ban
When New York State introduced a statewide cellphone ban in public schools, the policy was widely discussed as a necessary step to reduce distractions, limit social media use during class, and help students refocus on learning. Educators braced themselves for pushback, knowing that smartphones had become deeply embedded in students’ daily routines, social lives, and…
Scientists Issue Alarming Warning About a Triple Extinction Event Facing Earth
Life on Earth has survived countless upheavals throughout its four billion year history, yet scientists now say they can predict the point when mammals, including humans, will no longer be able to endure the planet’s changing conditions. This future is not defined by a single disaster but by the convergence of geological forces, atmospheric changes…
Humans Can’t Hear It, but Rats Giggle With Ultrasonic Joy When Tickled
Most people instinctively recoil at the sight of a rat, picturing a scruffy survivalist scavenging for scraps. However, biology suggests that these clever rodents are far more affectionate and joyful than their grim reputation implies. New research has uncovered a fascinating side to rat behavior, one where complex brain circuitry lights up not for food…
Six Servings of Fermented Foods Daily Dropped Inflammatory Markers in Weeks
When Stanford researchers set out to test whether certain foods could alter gut bacteria, they expected one dietary approach to prevail. Their prediction proved to be incorrect. A randomized, prospective study published in the journal Cell in August 2021 tracked how two microbiota-targeted dietary interventions affected the human microbiome and immune system in healthy adults.…
