A new clinical trial suggests that changing when you eat could make a meaningful difference for people living with Crohn’s ...

Life may have started in sticky, rock-hugging gels rather than inside cells. Researchers suggest these primitive, biofilm-like materials could trap and concentrate molecules, giving early chemistry a ...

A distant star system with four super-sized gas giants has revealed a surprise. Thanks to JWST’s powerful vision, astronomers detected sulfur in their atmospheres — a chemical clue that they formed ...

For millions of years, a frozen wanderer drifted between the stars before slipping into our solar system as 3I/ATLAS—only the ...
