Detecting this object’s unusual behavior “felt like finding a needle in a haystack.”

Researchers traced long, bright radio pulses, combined with X-rays, to an intriguing cosmic object 15,000 light-years from Earth, according to a new study.

Nature – A long-period radio transient with coincident radio and X-ray emission and observational properties unlike any known Galactic object has been observed by the Australian Square Kilometre…

China’s asteroid probing mission, Tianwen-2, is set for launch on Thursday. The mission will conduct multiple deep space tasks in a single launch, including a flyby and sample-return mission to near-Earth asteroid 2016 HO3 as well as a flyby investigation

In mice, the combination therapy not only improved the health of aging mice, but also extended their lifespan by around 30 percent.

Close examination of a pebble excavated in central Spain suggests it may have been painted to look like a face tens of thousands of years ago.

Nature Aging – Gkioni et al. show that trametinib, which targets the Ras–Mek–Erk pathway, extends lifespan in male and female mice and that co-treatment with the known geroprotector…

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing have discovered that the combination of the two cancer drugs Rapamycin and Trametinib significantly extends the lifespan of mice. This therapy shows greater effects than the individual drugs and offers not only a longer lifespan, but also health benefits in old age. The results suggest that this drug combination could be a promising strategy for combating age-related diseases and promoting longevity.

AFRICA is splitting apart – meaning the continent will form two separate land masses with an ocean in between in several million years, experts say. But the driving force behind the continent…
