There’s a new addition to Uranus’ growing family of moons, and it’s one we almost missed. Using NASA’s powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scientists have spotted a tiny, faint moon quietly orbiting Uranus. This marks the 29th known moon around the planet, and it’s one of the smallest yet.

When most of us think of fire, we picture destruction, forests burning, animals fleeing, and nothing left but ash. But what if some creatures don’t just survive fire, they thrive because of it? Let’s take a fiery ride into the world of tiny life-forms that can take the heat. Deep

Imagine walking through the Tasmanian wilderness with a UV light and suddenly spotting a small marsupial, glowing like a neon sign. That’s exactly what happened when photographer Ben Alldridge snapped a wild eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) shimmering with a bright blue glow. Glow-in-the-dark marsupial shows off its luminous furs. Credit:

We often think of probiotics as the “good guys” of gut health, tiny allies in yogurt and supplements that keep our digestive systems balanced. But new research in mice shows that some of these so-called helpers might actually open the door to dangerous infections. Yogurt. Credit: Wikipedia/ Rollcloud A team

For years, doctors have struggled to find better treatments for head and neck cancers, one of the deadliest cancer groups in the world. Each year, these cancers strike nearly 900,000 people and claim about 450,000 lives. Traditional treatments like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy can work, but often with painful side

For most chronic illnesses, getting older means things get worse. But lupus is different. This unpredictable autoimmune disease often quiets down as patients grow older, and scientists at the University of California – San Francisco (UCSF) may have finally figured out why. Lupus is sometimes called the “classic” autoimmune disease.

Studies reveal that some dinosaurs were picky eaters. A study of a 150-million-year-old dinosaur tooth challenges long-standing assumptions about their diet. For example, certain herbivorous dinosaurs preferred specific parts of a plant. Analysis of calcium isotopes in tooth enamel indicates that food habits depended less on the size of the

As the ice in Greenland retreats, it brings a new source of nutrition for tiny organisms. To test why, scientists turned to a computer model developed by JPL and MIT that has been called a laboratory in itself. Simulation by NASA shows that meltwater from Greenland’s Jakobshavn Glacier lifts deep-ocean

Scientists are getting closer to developing genome editing tools and applying them to a new target— the human brain. For the last two years, technological advancements and promising results in mice in treating devastating brain disorders through CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing techniques have been prevalent. Researchers hope that human trials can
