March 20 is International Happiness Day a day that the United Nations had dedicated to the celebration of joy. We asked photographers around the world to share a picture that can bring bliss.
The photographer, originally from Kozhikode, Kerala, has won the International Photography Exhibition Awards by the Royal Photographic Society in the Under 30s category for her photo-series, Not What You Saw
Why can't we remember when we were babies? Scientists who scanned infants' brains found that they do make memories. The findings suggest these memories may still exist, but are inaccessible to us.
That's the perspective of a World Health Organization official after the Global Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network, which detects and controls measles, lost its sole funder.
Experts demystify the science of awkwardness and explain how to reduce the emotional intensity of mortifying flashbacks (like that one time you called your teacher "Mommy").

Sleep disturbances may accelerate neurodegeneration, but whether they cause or result from disease remains unclear. Improving sleep quality could help protect against cognitive decline and brain aging.
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument used millions of galaxies and quasars to build the largest 3D map of our universe to date. Combining their data with other experiments shows signs that the impact of dark energy may be weakening over time -- and the standard model of how the universe works may need an update.
Accelerated aging in breast cancer survivors is linked to treatments and tumor characteristics, with implications for long-term care and quality of life.
Older women in India experience human rights violations in the form of discrimination, mistreatment, harassment and elderly abuse, stemming from poverty
A new study has discovered that birds in the Galapagos Islands are changing their behavior due to traffic noise, with those frequently exposed to vehicles showing heightened levels of aggression. During trials involving traffic noise, Galapagos yellow warblers (Setophaga petechia aureola) increased the duration of their songs, increased the minimum frequencies of their songs (to reduce overlap with the traffic noise), and birds living close to roads displayed increased physical aggression.
Challenging assumptions about infant memory, a novel functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study shows that babies as young as 12 months old can encode memories, researchers report.
Dermatologists say a number of procedures are being performed by unauthorised persons such as Ayurveda and homeopathy practitioners and beauty parlour staff, and patients, lured by flashy advertisements on social media, are falling prey to quackery
A judge has initiated a federal court takeover of California's troubled prison mental health system by naming the former head of the Federal Bureau of Prisons to serve as receiver, giving her four months to craft a plan to provide adequate care for tens of thousands of prisoners with serious mental illness.
Fruit fly mutants that have severe sleep deficits perform better at olfactory learning and memory tasks, according to a new study. The paradox of enhanced memory despite sleep loss could be explained by protein kinase A (PKA) signaling in the mushroom body of the fly brain.
Astronomers have detected oxygen in the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0. This record-breaking detection is making astronomers rethink how quickly galaxies formed in the early Universe.
Later puberty in young men is linked to lower bone volume and lean mass, but a healthier body composition. Earlier puberty leads to higher bone density and slightly higher BMI and fat mass.
Did you know a simple vitamin could keep your brain sharp as you age? Vitamin B12, found in foods like meat, eggs and dairy, isnt just about giving you energy. New research shows its a secret weapon for your brain, especially as you get older. 1 Low B12 levels interfere with your memory, slow your thinking and even shrink your brain over time. Fortunately, once you understand how vitamin B12 affects your brain health, there are simple steps to protect yourself.
When a laser beam is shone on biological tissue, the tissue components absorb the light and the tissue heats up. This causes the tissue to expand and contract, creating vibrations.
Since 2021, when lung cancer screening guidelines began to include younger people and those with a lower smoking history, the number of screenings climbed, but significant gaps remain, especially among people with limited access to healthcare, according to a new study led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
If we integrate lived experiences of those affected by TB into our healthcare response, communities can accurately define gaps, challenges and also what kind of support systems those affected need, what messages resonate with them, and how best to design services to ensure equitable access to care
A new study in The Journal of Immunology reveals how a high-fat diet may impair the immune system's ability to respond to infection by impacting the function of neutrophils, one of the first immune cells to respond to bacteria or viruses.
Gender differences and inequalities play a critical role in how people access and receive TB-related services in the public and private sectors, in India
Scientists at the University of South Australia have come up with an innovative solution to improve the effectiveness of cannabidiol to treat epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers developed a hybrid AI approach that can generate realistic images with the same or better quality than state-of-the-art diffusion models, but that runs about nine times faster and uses fewer computational resources. The tool uses an autoregressive model to quickly capture the big picture and then a small diffusion model to refine the details of the image.
Nearly 3 out of every 4 older Americans have experienced at least one extreme weather event in the last two years, a poll finds. And living through such an event appears to make a big difference in how they view the potential impact of climate change on their health. People over 50 who recently experienced an extreme weather event are far more likely to express concern about the effects of climate change on their health.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers have now gained insight into the architecture of mitochondria at unprecedented resolution. They discovered that the proteins responsible for energy generation assemble into large 'supercomplexes', which play a crucial role in providing the cell's energy.
