The Sun "beats" like a heart — and that may affect Earth more than we thought

Helioseismology, the science of listening to sound waves inside the Sun, is yielding new insights after four decades of observations.

  • Solar sound waves have been studied via helioseismology for four decades.
  • The Sun oscillates rhythmically — pulsations that influence its own magnetic activity.
  • Effects may include disruptions to satellites, power grids, and Earth's long-term climate.

AI-designed vaccine could shield against a broad range of viruses

Scientists say an entirely new vaccine platform, built with artificial intelligence, may prevent pandemics by targeting structures shared across multiple viruses.

  • AI identified molecular structures common to multiple viruses, forming the basis of the new platform.
  • The vaccine could offer broad protection, including against viruses not yet known to science.
  • Research remains at an early stage, with no large-scale clinical trials announced yet.

The Arctic Ocean has crossed a chemical threshold with no return

Accelerating sea-ice loss has triggered irreversible changes in Arctic water chemistry, with cascading effects throughout the entire food chain.

  • Arctic sea ice is melting so rapidly it has permanently altered ocean chemistry.
  • Effects cascade from plankton upward through every link of the marine food chain.
  • Scientists warn the crossed threshold cannot be reversed within any relevant human timeframe.

The forgotten immune organ that may predict how long you live

Two new studies suggest a long-overlooked immune organ holds surprisingly strong clues about lifespan, disease risk and cancer treatment outcomes.

  • A decades-ignored immune organ may predict longevity and cancer risk.
  • Its activity in adulthood correlates with response to cancer immunotherapies.
  • Two independent studies back its use as a clinical risk-stratification tool.

5.5 million bees found living beneath a cemetery

A researcher's chance walk through a graveyard led to the discovery of the largest underground bee colony ever documented.

  • 5.5 million bees live underground in a cemetery, setting a documented world record.
  • The discovery was accidental, made during a casual walk through a graveyard.
  • The cemetery's undisturbed soil is thought to have allowed the colony to grow freely.

Taiwan's 84-metre giant may be East Asia's tallest tree — found after 9 years

Researchers from Taiwan's Forestry Research Institute spent nearly a decade tracking down the tree they named "Heaven's Sword."

  • The "Heaven's Sword" tree stands 84.1 metres tall in Taiwan's mountains.
  • Researchers spent nine years searching before locating and measuring it.
  • Results were published in the journal "Frontiers in Forests and Global Change".

Healthy plant diet cuts dementia risk. An unhealthy one does not

A study in Neurology finds that the quality of plant-based foods matters far more than simply cutting out meat.

  • A quality plant-based diet lowers the risk of Alzheimer's and dementia, per a Neurology study.
  • Processed plant foods — sugary drinks, refined grains — offer no brain protection.
  • Food quality matters more than simply removing meat from the diet.

Marble sculpture of Perseus and Andromeda unearthed at Roman site in Bulgaria

Archaeologists at ancient Deultum are piecing together a rare large-scale mythological sculpture from marble fragments.

  • Marble Perseus-and-Andromeda sculpture reassembled from fragments at Roman Deultum, Bulgaria.
  • Deultum was a Roman colony in Thrace, near present-day Debelt, close to Burgas.
  • Restoration is ongoing; full scholarly details will follow once the work is complete.

NASA's Roman Telescope could map 100,000 hidden exoplanets

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will use gravitational microlensing to spot planets that other observatories simply cannot see.

  • Roman could detect up to 100,000 exoplanets using gravitational microlensing.
  • Science has confirmed roughly 5,700 exoplanets in total so far.
  • The mission targets planets invisible to James Webb and Hubble, making the telescopes complementary.

Evening coffee alters brain activity overnight, even when you fall asleep easily

A new study finds caffeine keeps reshaping brain function during sleep, quietly undermining rest quality even in people who notice no trouble dozing off.

  • Caffeine alters brain activity during sleep, not only at the moment of falling asleep.
  • People who fall asleep easily after coffee may still experience reduced sleep quality.
  • The study confirms that hours slept are not a sufficient measure of genuine rest.
