Massive global study links the habit of forgiving others to better overall well-being. A recent study published in npj Mental Health Research provides evidence that a general tendency to forgive others is linked to small but broad improvements in a person’s overall well-being.

Climate models are likely overestimating how much Antarctic ice sheets could contribute to sea level rise. Ice sheet simulations, a recent study showed, don’t fully account for the way supporting bedrock rebounds upward when ice above shrinks. This effect could slow melting by up to 20%.

Carbon Dioxide 'Pulses' Clear Toxins From Parkinson's Brains in Recent Study

NASA’s Galileo Mission Points to Ammonia at Europa, Recent Study Shows

A recent study asked people about their willingness to engage in various antisocial behaviors if they could be sure they would not be punished or caught. 16.5% of men and 1.1% of women would sexually assault an adult. 6.3% of men and 0.1% of women would sexually assault a child.

Why we procrastinate on joy — and how to stop. A recent study found a surprising pattern: the longer we put off doing something we enjoy, the more likely we are to continue putting it off.

Cell biologists are one step closer to making viable human eggs from stem cells in the lab. A recent study in mice established a novel method to create relatively mature oocytes (egg precursors) from pluripotent stem cells, supplemented by a mix of proteins and growth factors.

NASA discovered a bacteria that can ‘play dead’—and might have accidentally sent it to Mars | In a recent study, scientists have now worked out this sneaky bacterium’s secret: T. phoenicis can enter a state of deep hibernation—one that evaded detection despite rigorous sterlization for spacecrafts

The ancient practice of tooth removal helps map early migration across Vietnam: Ancient communities pulled out healthy teeth to demonstrate collective identity. A recent study shows the distribution of such intentional teeth ablation & adds to evidence of regional Neolithic migration.

50-Year-Old Theory on Schizophrenia's 'Voices' Confirmed by Recent Study

In the French Revolution, widespread rumors of aristocratic conspiracies spread and incited riots. In a recent study, researchers took an epidemiological approach, modeling the spread of these rumors like an infection and finding specific risk factors for violence in the towns where riots occurred.

When resources are low, animals often sacrifice reproduction. A recent study in mice finds that a group of brain cells (called melanin-concentrating hormone neurons) controls the response to to diet and the timing of fertility.

Sometimes, traumatic experiences trigger responses that don’t align with the actual threat—like being bitten by a dog and then developing a fear of all dogs. A recent study in Nature Neuroscience hints how mammalian brains do this, forming intense specific memories of exciting or scary events.

Rockefeller team finds flawed data in recent study relevant to coronavirus antiviral development - EurekAlert!

Researchers have long puzzled over exactly how DNA is spooled within nucleosomes and arranged inside the nucleus so that some genes are more easily activated. A recent study in Nature shows that the way genes are organized and controlled is embedded directly within the nucleosomes themselves.

A recent study published in Frontiers in Psychology makes the case that the narcissistic traits of Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump—traits that have shaped their political leadership—can be traced back to common patterns in their early childhood and family environments

For decades, scientists searching for the root cause of depression have mostly focused on neurons and their chemical signals. But a recent study in Cell points to a new role for astrocytes.

Recent study in mice provides key insights on the impact of excessive sucrose consumption in specific organs - EurekAlert

A recent study has analyzed the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) using computer models and found no evidence of a long-term weakening over the past 60 years.

Recent Study Suggests That The Surface Of Mars May Be Saturated With Carbon Dioxide That Could Be Converted Into Rocket Fuel
