More moral language doesn't always mean more engagement online

Moral language—words and phrases that express ideas about right and wrong, virtues, fairness, harm and social obligations—is widely used in social media posts and other online content. Posts containing moral language sometimes spread quickly and attract a lot of attention on social media, yet whether moral language is always linked to greater user engagement remains unclear.

Waste bulrush transformed into copper-enhanced material for dye removal from wastewater

Industrial activities such as textile manufacturing, paper production, leather processing and food processing can generate wastewater containing synthetic dyes. Because many synthetic dyes are chemically stable, difficult to biodegrade and environmentally persistent, their release into waterways can pose risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health.

Astronomers discover a radio galaxy with evidence of four separate jet outbursts

Astronomers have identified what may be the first example of a new class of radio galaxy, one whose central black hole appears to have launched powerful jets on four separate occasions. High-resolution observations with the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), combined with data from MeerKAT and the Very Large Array, reveal four pairs of radio structures arranged symmetrically around the central galaxy.

Glucosamine, a popular joint supplement, linked to faster Alzheimer’s progression

A large health-record analysis found that glucosamine use was associated with a 25% higher likelihood of mild cognitive impairment progressing to dementia. Lab experiments suggest the popular joint supplement may intensify an abnormal sugar-tagging process in the Alzheimer’s brain, although researchers say clinical trials are needed to determine whether it actually causes harm.

DNA reveals chemosynthesis genes in bacteria living on coral reef fish gills

Chemosynthetic bacteria have been documented in various marine environments and in association with invertebrate hosts such as annelid worms and mollusks, but their presence in fish appears to be a new discovery. The findings show that fish gills host a complex and specialized microbiome that is not yet well understood but could play an important role in fish metabolism, immunity and health.

A giant cosmic 'fart' is making a wobbling zombie star repeatedly flash us, 'groundbreaking' observations reveal

An enormous, ongoing cosmic "fart" is causing a mysterious zombie star to flare up repeatedly, shining bright pulses of X-rays toward Earth, a new study reveals. The unprecedented observations shed light on how some of the universe's most extreme objects interact with one another. Around 13,000 light-years from Earth lies an unusual binary star system, known as BP Crucis. It contains a blue hypergiant star roughly 60 times larger than the sun, dubbed Wray 977, alongside a neutron star — the undead and ultradense remains of a star that exploded via a supernova — that astronomers have labeled GX 301-2. This stellar "zombie," which contains the same mass as our home star packed into an object r...

1.7-billion-year-old fossils reveal a crucial clue to the rise of complex life

Scientists studying ancient Australian rocks uncovered more than 12,000 fossils from some of the oldest known eukaryotes on Earth. These early complex cells lived in settings ranging from coastal mudflats to the open sea, but only where oxygen was available. Oxygen-free environments contained simpler microbes instead. The findings strengthen the idea that oxygen played a crucial role in the emergence of complex life.

James Webb telescope shares one of its biggest images ever, with record-breaking stars hiding in the dust

quick factsWhat it is: IC 348, a star-forming reflection nebulaWhere it is: 1,000 light-years away in the constellation PerseusWhen it was shared: Sept. 15, 2026.Behold: one of the largest panoramas from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) released to date. This busy and breathtaking image offers a remarkably detailed view of IC 348, a nearby stellar nursery where astronomers are investigating some of the smallest objects produced by star formation.IC 348 is one of the closest stellar nurseries to Earth and appears in this near-infrared image as an intricate landscape of stars, glowing material and sweeping clouds of gas and dust. Across the scene, young stars punctuate the dark and lumino...

What is the closest any object has gotten to the sun?

When you think of objects close to the sun, Mercury, the solar system's innermost planet, probably comes to mind. But has any other object — natural or artificial — gotten closer to our star? And what's the closest an object has gotten to the sun while still escaping?Many objects have reached much closer than Mercury, including asteroids, comets and spacecraft, experts told Live Science.At its closest point to the sun, called perihelion, Mercury comes within 29 million miles (47 million kilometers) of our star, according to NASA. But several known asteroids come even closer. Scott Sheppard, an astronomer at Carnegie Science, an independent research institute in Washington, D.C., said such as...

These medieval graves looked like family burials. DNA told a different story

Ancient DNA shows that adults and children buried together in medieval Sweden were often not members of the same immediate family, suggesting that burial choices reflected more than biological kinship. The research also revealed early gender-based burial customs and uncovered the remarkable story of a young woman who may have completed a pilgrimage across Europe.

Black hole jets reach far beyond galaxies' visible edges, potentially deciding their fate

Galaxies are enormous and hold hundreds of billions of stars. These stars form from cold, dense gas. Every large galaxy, including the Milky Way, is wrapped in a huge envelope of gas called the circumgalactic medium, or CGM. This reservoir of raw material stretches 10–20 times the size of the visible portion of the galaxy.

Why earwigs infected by parasitic worms head towards water

Earwigs, small, elongated insects with distinctive pincers at the rear of their abdomens, have little reason to enter open water. While many earwig species are attracted to damp environments, they typically avoid open water. Yet past studies have found that European earwigs infected with a parasitic roundworm called Mermis nigrescens tend to head toward open water. The molecular and biological reasons for this unusual behavior have not been fully uncovered.

Pumpkin-derived enzyme weakens peanut proteins' binding to allergy antibodies in lab tests

Peanut allergy is one of the most serious food allergies and can lead to sudden, life-threatening reactions. Researchers from Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, in collaboration with Wroclaw Medical University, investigated whether a natural enzyme obtained from figleaf gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia) could reduce recognition of peanut proteins by antibodies involved in allergic reactions.
