Why Some Frogs Survive the Deadly Chytrid Fungus
Researchers have unraveled why some frog species survive the chytrid fungus—discoveries implicate skin microbes, immune peptides, genetics and behavior—and these findings are reshaping amphibian conservation strategies.
How the Brain Rewires Itself to Truly Multitask
Recent neuroscience reveals that ‘true’ multitasking emerges from dynamic rewiring of brain networks — a flexible choreography of synapses, oscillations, and pathways that allows parallel processing without catastrophic interference. This article explains the mechanisms, evidence, practical implications, and limits of human multitasking.
Moon Landings Could Erase Clues to Earth's Origins
Returning humans to the Moon threatens to disturb and contaminate lunar deposits that may hold chemical records of Earth's earliest environment. Protecting those pristine archives will require policy, engineering and international cooperation before boots touch the regolith again.
Scientists Solve 150-Year Gallium Mystery
After more than a century of puzzlement, researchers have uncovered why gallium behaves so strangely—its unusual bonding and liquid structure explain its low melting point and surprising properties, with broad implications for electronics, soft robotics, and materials design.
Rye Pollen Breakthrough: 30-Year Mystery Unlocks Cancer Clues
A decades-old puzzle about rye pollen composition has been solved, revealing molecular structures and immune interactions that may be repurposed for cancer diagnostics, vaccine platforms, and targeted drug delivery.
New Clues: How Alzheimer's Destroys Neurons
Researchers appear to have pieced together a clearer chain of events linking protein misfolding, immune activation in the brain, and a programmed form of cell death—reshaping how we think about treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
