Laws of quantum physics may rule out a universe that came before ours

Instead of the big bang, some physicists have suggested that our universe may have come from a big bounce following another universe contracting – but quantum theory could rule this out ​Instead of the big bang, some physicists have suggested that our universe may have come from a big bounce following another universe contracting – …

Ranching and farming have eroded almost all the soil in the Alps

Grazing livestock and farming over the past 4000 years have rapidly accelerated the rate of soil loss in the Alps, jeopardising the ecosystem and putting the mountains at risk of further erosion ​Grazing livestock and farming over the past 4000 years have rapidly accelerated the rate of soil loss in the Alps, jeopardising the ecosystem …

New axolotl study gives researchers a leg up in work towards limb regeneration

Researchers supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation have discovered that it is not how much of a key molecule that allows axolotls to regenerate limbs properly, it is how little. This new knowledge moves researchers closer to enabling… ​Researchers supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation have discovered that it is not how much …

Nature’s longevity hack: How human eggs stay fresh for 50 years

Human eggs stay dormant for decades by slowing down their waste disposal systems, according to new research involving over 100 freshly donated eggs. This clever energy-saving strategy appears to help protect the eggs from damage over time, allowing them to remain viable for years. ​Human eggs stay dormant for decades by slowing down their waste …

The silent threat: How hearing loss and loneliness are fueling memory decline

A massive European study has uncovered a powerful connection between hearing loss, loneliness, and memory decline. Researchers at the University of Geneva found that older adults with hearing impairments who also feel lonely—regardless of actual social isolation—experience faster cognitive decline. ​A massive European study has uncovered a powerful connection between hearing loss, loneliness, and memory …
