Mosquitoes now prefer to feed on humans instead of wildlife: Study finds shocking reasons behind the shift

Deforestation in Brazil's Atlantic Forest is forcing mosquitoes to feed on humans more frequently, a new study reveals. This shift significantly elevates the risk of diseases like dengue and Zika for communities near forest edges. Scientists warn this behavioural change in mosquitoes is a critical, often unseen, consequence of habitat loss, impacting public health long before outbreaks occur.

Theory of relativity for dummies: How Albert Einstein repainted space and time

In 1905, Albert Einstein revolutionized physics by demonstrating that time is not absolute but relative to the observer's motion. He showed that space and time are intertwined into a single fabric called spacetime, which is curved by mass, explaining gravity as geometry. This fundamental shift altered our understanding of the universe's dynamic nature.

Scientists find a breakthrough technique to track falling satellites

Scientists are now tracking falling satellites by listening to Earth's vibrations. Powerful shockwaves from re-entering space debris are detected by earthquake-monitoring instruments, allowing for near real-time reconstruction of flight paths and landing zones. This seismic method offers a crucial new way to understand where debris lands, complementing existing tracking systems.

Americas biggest science loss: Federal government loses over 10,000 STEM PhD scientists in 2025

America's scientific strength faced a major blow in 2025. Over ten thousand PhD scientists left federal agencies. This exodus represents a significant loss of expertise. Agencies like the National Institutes of Health and NASA saw substantial departures. Experts warn this could impact research and innovation for years to come. The nation's scientific capacity is now a key concern.

Spanish scientist finds cure for pancreatic cancer in major medical breakthrough

A Spanish research team has achieved a significant preclinical breakthrough, developing a triple-drug therapy that completely eradicated aggressive pancreatic cancer in mice. After extensive follow-up, treated animals showed no recurrence, offering immense hope against a notoriously difficult disease. While not yet a human cure, this discovery marks a promising step towards effective combination treatments.
