A new study reveals that anosmia impacts quality of life as severely as major neurological conditions — a warning sign that mainstream medicine has long overlooked.
Anosmia affects quality of life as severely as Parkinson's or stroke, researchers say.
Smell loss raises the risk of depression, social isolation, and domestic accidents.
The condition remains underdiagnosed despite a surge in post-COVID cases.
Researchers have identified negative effects on mental health in people who work exclusively from home — a sobering counterpoint to the model many employees consider ideal.
A recent study links remote work to negative effects on mental health.
Physical isolation from colleagues appears to trigger measurable cognitive consequences.
Researchers recommend clear routines and regular social contact to limit the impact.
A weekly science roundup: wolf populations expanding across Europe, El Niño threatening all-time heat records, and neural networks autonomously scanning legislation for vulnerabilities.
Wolves are expanding their range across Europe, forcing a rethink of human-wildlife coexistence policy.
El Niño combined with climate change may produce the hottest summer on record.
Neural networks can now autonomously detect loopholes in legislation, raising legal security concerns.
The European Commission has confirmed that El Niño is almost certain to develop this year, raising the risk of severe heatwaves and wildfires across southern Europe.
European Commission: El Niño is almost certain in 2026, with potential impact on Europe.
Elevated risk of heatwaves and major wildfires in Portugal and southern Europe.
El Niño amplifies thermal anomalies already driven by global climate change.
A new study suggests that the anomalies in Neptune's system may betray a violent collision or gravitational upheaval from the Solar System's distant past.
An anomalously orbiting object near Neptune points to a cataclysm in the Solar System's early history.
Neptune already displays several known anomalies: a tilted axis and moons with atypical behaviour.
The study offers no definitive proof but proposes a coherent explanation for the planet's peculiarities.
