Exploding stars V462 Lupi and V572 Velorum are best seen from the Southern Hemisphere. One has been spotted from the United States.  [...]

A GLP-1 drug led to fewer days with headaches, a small pilot study of migraine sufferers shows. It may work by lowering pressure inside the head.  [...]

The system contains a sensor, chip and tiny AI model inspired by biological eyes and brains and uses a tenth of the energy of a camera-based system.  [...]

Using millions of tiny needles, the patch samples molecular data from inside cells without damaging them, providing intel on composition in minutes.  [...]

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.  [...]

Even without reaching heat wave levels, sustained high temperatures may contribute to a litany of health issues.

A type of lichen was able to survive extreme UV radiation in the lab, suggesting that ozone protection might not be required for life on exoplanets.  [...]

Compact ruddy galaxies seen by the James Webb telescope confound astronomers. Having very little spin at birth may explain the galaxies’ small sizes.  [...]

The origin of red beans — also called adzuki — has been murky. A new study says Japan is where it all started.

If the new age of these Canadian rocks is solid, they would be the first and only ones known to have survived Earth’s earliest, tumultuous time.  [...]

An egg-shape trend found among birds shows up in miniature with very protective bug parents. Elongated eggs fit more compactly under mom.  [...]

Art and literature hint at past people’s psyches. Now computers can identify patterns in those cognitive fossils, but human expertise remains crucial.  [...]

Special quantum states allow computers to perform the most difficult class of quantum computing operations.

Finding a Saturn-sized world around the young star TWA 7 could pave the way for the Webb space telescope’s direct observation of other exoplanets.  [...]

Too little Bifidobacterium, used to digest breast milk, in babies' gut microbiomes can increase their risk of developing allergies and asthma.  [...]

Squash’s killer “nick shot” has a formula. It’s all about height and timing, a new study shows.

People who are uninsured or part of a minority racial or ethnic group are underscreened for cervical cancer. Mailing them a self-sample kit may help.  [...]

Two bits of amber discovered in a lab basement hold ancient evidence of a fungi famous for controlling the minds of its victims.  [...]

With genetic tweaks, E. coli turned 92 percent of broken-down plastic into acetaminophen, charting a path to upcycle plastic waste sustainably.  [...]

The whales use quick body movements to tear pieces of bull kelp for use as tools, perhaps the first known toolmaking by a marine mammal.  [...]
