It’s time to set the record straight about ten common exercise myths and rethink any you may still live by. Many of us have been influenced by them in some way. But it may even come as a surprise to learn that most of these popular misconceptions are not backed up with scientific evidence. The American Council on Exercises says it best, “Fitness myths have always and will likely continue to plague the industry and confuse even the most experienced fitness fan.

Engineers have developed a pill that releases microscopic robots, or microrobots, into the colon to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The experimental treatment, given orally, has shown success in mice. It significantly reduced IBD symptoms and promoted the healing of damaged colon tissue without causing toxic side effects.

I learned I had a form of APOL1-mediated kidney disease after the 2000 Olympics. I felt lethargic and had a routine physical exam. It revealed abnormalities in my kidneys, leading to a diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), which is one form of APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD). Since my diagnosis, I have worked with my team of doctors to manage my overall health and wellness.

Over the past 25 years, 970 children have died as a result of heatstroke because they were trapped in a car, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). And just last year, 23 young lives were lost when they were left in vehicles. As the summer season gets underway, the NHTSA wants to remind us to be vigilant about preventing hot car deaths.

Early analysis of the asteroid Bennu sample returned by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission has revealed dust rich in carbon, nitrogen, and organic compounds, all of which are essential components for life as we know it. Dominated by clay minerals, particularly serpentine, the sample mirrors the type of rock found at mid-ocean ridges on Earth. The magnesium-sodium phosphate found in the sample hints that the asteroid could have splintered off from an ancient, small, primitive ocean world.

Scientists predict from geochemical data that Iceland is entering a new volcanic era that will last for decades, possibly centuries. Under an hour's drive from the country's capital city, the ongoing eruptions pose considerable risks for economic disruption, and they leave evacuated communities uncertain of a possible return.

Researchers continue to expand the case for the Younger Dryas Impact hypothesis. The idea proposes that a fragmented comet smashed into the Earth's atmosphere 12,800 years ago, causing a widespread climatic shift that, among other things, led to the abrupt reversal of the Earth's warming trend and into an anomalous near-glacial period called the Younger Dryas.

Dark energy -- a mysterious force pushing the universe apart at an ever-increasing rate -- was discovered 26 years ago, and ever since, scientists have been searching for a new and exotic particle causing the expansion. Physicists combined an optical lattice with an atom interferometer to hold atoms in place for up to 70 seconds -- a record for an atom interferometer -- allowing them to more precisely test for deviations from the accepted theory of gravity that could be caused by dark energy par

Although a fly's motor neurons are few, it performs remarkable aerial and terrestrial feats. A wiring diagram recently created of the motor circuits in the central nervous system of the fruit fly is providing detailed information on how the nerve coordination of leg movements differs from that controlling the wings. Such studies reveal the unexpected complexity of the fly's tiny motor system.

We often think of species as separate and distinct, but sometimes they can interbreed and create hybrids. When this happens consistently in a specific area, it forms what's known as a hybrid zone. These zones can be highly dynamic or remarkably stable, and studying them can reveal key insights into how species boundaries evolve -- or sometimes blur.
