Researchers who study human behavior often point to religion as a major influence on how people think and act. Yet when it comes to pornography, the connection hasn’t been explored enough. Most studies assume religion shapes attitudes toward adult content, but few dig deeper. A recent push in academ
When doctors attack a tumor with modern medicine, they don’t just fight cancer cells. They also face an entire hidden neighborhood inside each growth. This neighborhood includes not only the cancer itself but also the immune system’s soldiers, the body’s repair workers, and the scaffolding that hold
For years, kratom has lived in a legal gray area. Some see it as risky, others as helpful. Now, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) just gave it a big thumbs-up by approving research into its potential for treating opioid addiction. This isn’t just another study—it’s a signal that scientists thi
The head of a major U. S. science organization recently warned that America’s research powerhouse is running on empty. After a year of chaotic changes in science funding and leadership, many experts feel uncertain about the future. Large numbers of skilled researchers have left the country, while th
Federal agencies have suddenly blocked nearly twenty-one million dollars in science grants at the University of California, Berkeley. The reason given? Some researchers did not tell the government about outside money they received, mostly from friendly countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, a
When protein levels drop, the gut doesn’t wait for permission—it picks up the phone and calls the brain directly. Scientists recently uncovered a two-lane highway linking the stomach and brain that flips cravings from sugar to protein without delay. In fruit flies, the gut releases a hormone-like si
Researchers recently discovered that artificial intelligence often skips religious viewpoints when handling personal or moral dilemmas. This gap can leave users without the faith-based guidance they might seek. The findings come from a study highlighting how common AI tools handle questions about lo
FIFA is stepping up in a big way by launching a free online library packed with 30 short courses that anyone connected to women’s football can study. Players, parents, coaches, doctors, even whole national federations – they can all log in, pick a topic like sleep or strength training, and finish a
Testing new cancer drugs is tough because tumors often stop responding to treatment. Lab dishes with cancer cells and animal tests don’t always predict what will happen in real patients. These methods don’t mimic how tumors grow or interact with their surroundings well enough. Lab dishes are too sim
A court ruling on Monday put the brakes on a plan to kick Boulder’s National Center for Atmospheric Research out of its role at the supercomputer center in Cheyenne. The judge said the National Science Foundation can’t strip NCAR or its parent body of access to computers, money, or projects tied to
