Time isn't always what it seems. Our minds can play tricks on us, making it feel like it's moving slower or faster. This isn't just a random glitch. It's actually a clever trick our brains use to help us survive and adapt. When we're in danger, time can feel like it's slowing down. This gives us mo
Parkinson's disease is a tough challenge. It affects the body and the mind. Modern medicine has made big strides. It can fix hearts, change genes, and even lengthen lives. But there's something missing. The human spirit is often left out of the equation. Living with Parkinson's has shown that heali
DES, a chemical often found in water, is causing trouble for tiny ocean plants called diatoms. These plants are super important because they make a lot of the oxygen we breathe. But DES is making it hard for them to do their job. When diatoms are exposed to DES, they can't make as much chlorophyll,
Our brains are busy places. They handle a lot of information from our eyes. But how do they decide what to remember? This is a big question in brain science. Three key areas stand out: attention, short-term memory, and what we actually see. Attention is like a spotlight. It helps us focus on import
A massive protest shook Jerusalem recently, as thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men took to the streets. They were there to oppose a new law about military service. This is a big deal in Israel, where serving in the army is usually mandatory. The protesters were mostly dressed in their traditiona

Our eyes can play tricks on us. Sometimes, things look brighter than they really are. This is not just about how bright something is. It is also about what is around it. Scientists wanted to know if our brains can see this trick even when we are not paying attention. They did some experiments to fin
A new way to change brain activity without surgery is called transcranial temporal interference stimulation, or tTIS for short. It's like a remote control for the brain, but scientists are still figuring out how well it works. They gathered all the studies they could find on tTIS and looked at them
Purpureocillium lilacinum PLBJ-1 is a biocontrol fungus. It makes leucinostatins. These are special molecules that can kill other fungi. Think of them as natural antibiotics. But how does this fungus make them? And why does it make more in some conditions than others? Scientists found out that the
Gordon Ramsay, the famous chef, recently had surgery to remove skin cancer near his ear. He shared this news on Instagram, along with a photo of his scar. Ramsay joked about it, saying it wasn't a face lift and that he'd want a refund if it were. The type of skin cancer Ramsay had is called Basal C
