Experts have been digging into how to stop and treat dull, constant back pain that isn’t caused by a specific injury. Studies from 2020 to 2025 suggest simple habits can make a big difference. Moving more often, even during work hours, seems to help more than sitting still for long stretches. People
Wali Malik wasn’t planning to leave the U. S. He lived near Boston with his wife and three kids, close to his parents in Washington. Then came the money cuts. Federal grants dried up. Friends in labs started getting pink slips. Research teams shrank. One day the phone rang – a job offer from a brand
Scientists say that the key to unlocking how autism works lies in studying real human brains, but most people don’t know that brain donation is a separate process from regular organ donation. In a recent survey of just over a thousand Americans, only about 15 percent knew that being an organ donor
More belly fat often means bigger health concerns, but one measure – the weight-adjusted waist index – might hint at trouble in the lungs too. Researchers looked at thousands of adults and found that people with higher WWI scores had a tougher time breathing over time. COPD, the disease that slowly
Medical research shapes how countries handle health problems, but most studies come from wealthy nations. This leaves poorer countries with solutions that don’t always fit their needs. Local journals help change that by making research more accessible and practical for communities that need it most.
Scientists recently uncovered something cool about small, young stars scattered across our galaxy. These stars, called M dwarfs, often host large donut-shaped rings of superhot gas, or plasma, trapped by their magnetic fields. Instead of just being odd cosmic decorations, these rings are actually wo
Scientists write more than ten million papers each year. Some discoveries become useful facts, while others turn out to be wrong. Checking every paper by repeating its experiments is slow and costly. A group of researchers long ago tried to speed this up by training computer models that could predic
Scientists at two major universities just got $15. 8 million to study how Latino adults' brains change as they age. The money comes from the government’s top health research group. Two professors, one from each school, will lead the project. They want to follow about 1, 800 Latino adults for 12 year
The British Nuclear Medicine Society, or BNMS, turns 60 this year. It started in 1966 when four doctors met at a London pub and saw how radioactive imaging could change medicine. Since then the group has grown into a large network of doctors, scientists, and technicians who keep UK standards high.
In the ruins of a nuclear reactor in Chernobyl, something strange is growing. A dark, almost black fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum has taken over the walls of the abandoned Unit 4 building. This isn’t just any fungus—it thrives where radiation levels would be deadly to humans. Scientists h
