Heidi Overton also said at the hearing on Thursday that Tylenol does not cause autism
Rare fossils discovered in Japan more than 30 years ago are from a new species of armored dinosaur â one whose ancestors likely reached Asia by trekking across a land bridge, a new study finds.The newly named dinosaur, a type of nodosaurid, is now one of just three species of its kind found in Asia to date. The scarcity of nodosaurids in Asia, and the fact that the newly described beast is similar anatomically to those from North America, hint that its species likely arose from a migration from North America to Asia via the Bering Land Bridge, an ancient strip of land that connected present-day Alaska and Russia, researchers reported in the February 2027 issue of the journal Cretaceous Resea...
Genetic testing of two tiny tiger cats from Bolivia revealed a new species, adding a new branch to the feline family tree.
People wore the backpack while lifting dumbbells and then enjoyed a nice massageHuang et al., 2026, Cell Reports Physical Science A backpack can detect when muscles become fatigued and automatically massage the affected areas. This seems to help muscles recover better than heat therapy or pre-programmed massages, like those delivered by chairs and cushions. About 1 in 6 adults in the UK have some form of back pain. This can occur when back muscles become fatigued through exertion or prolonged or repetitive activity. Persistent fatigue can impair local blood flow and tissue recovery, potentially contributing to chronic pain. Read more From back pain to cancer, how the interstitium could trans...
Diesel prices have almost doubled over the past year, spelling trouble for farmers, truckers and the entire U.S. economy
In what appears to be a first, an OpenAI agent secretly accessed Australian government health care records during an internal test
Hormone replacement therapies may reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke, but the timing of when they are started could be critical
A large Danish study found that children diagnosed with ADHD or autism today more closely resemble their peers in the general population than those diagnosed 10 years ago. The shift suggests that rising diagnosis rates may partly reflect broader identification and changing diagnostic patterns, rather than only an increase in the underlying conditions.
The brain may have a built-in way to quickly settle disagreements between regions processing the same scene. Researchers found that matching signals between two visual areas lasted longer, while conflicting signals rapidly faded away. This âconsensus buildingâ mechanism could help explain how the brain turns many specialized inputs into one unified view of the world.
Researchers have shown that multiple time crystals inside a semiconductor can synchronize their oscillations, much like pendulum clocks gradually falling into the same rhythm. The coupling is carried by spin-polarized electrons, allowing time crystals separated by up to 40 micrometers to lock to a common frequency. The discovery reveals surprisingly long-range connections between these exotic spin systems and could help researchers develop future spin-based devices.
Daily sea surface temperatures in the region where El NiĂąo develops are more extreme than at any point in recorded history.
The actor urges us to work with nature, not against it, in new documentary How to Live on Earth. Let's hope it can make a real difference, says Alec Luhn
