JWST Examines Dyson Sphere Candidates, Creatine Shows Anti-Cancer Properties
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) closely examined two stars suspected of harboring Dyson spheres, megastructures that could be built by an advanced alien civilization. However, the study found that both signals are caused by rare alignments and not evidence of extraterrestrial life.
Creatine, a common gym supplement, has been shown to have a surprising effect on cancer cells. A new study found that creatine can act as a backup battery for dendritic cells, supporting the body's frontline defense against cancer.
A remarkable fossil discovery in Australia revealed an ancient 'turducken' - a dinosaur-era equivalent of stuffing one animal inside another before eating it. The fossil, which dates back over 100 million years, shows a flying reptile being eaten by a marine predator, and then consumed by an even bigger sea monster.
Hundreds of hidden structures have been discovered beneath the Amazon rainforest using LIDAR technology. These earthworks, carved into the landscape between 600 BCE and 850 CE, suggest that a civilization known as the Aquiry had a much larger population than previously thought - up to 3 million people at its peak.
Scientists have identified a simple change that could save millions of insects from being affected by artificial light. By using warm white LED lights or covering sodium vapor lamps with yellow filters, insects can be protected during their most active hours.
