A recent study has reclassified the species commonly known as the Javan rhinoceros, proposing a more precise scientific name: Eurhinoceros sondaicus. The research highlights key differences in body structure and ecology that set this species apart from the Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis). Recognizing it as a separate genus not only improves scientific understanding but also has important implications for conservation efforts.
Solar flare Space weather occurs when explosive events near the Suns surface project strong radiation fields towards the Earth. These events typically peak during solar maximum a cycle that occurs approximately every 11 years but serious events can also happen during solar minimum. Currently, we are experiencing a maximum, with solar activity at its highest level in more than 2 decades.
Americans views of their mental and physical health are at the lowest point in nearly 25 years, a downturn that accelerated at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued since, according to a Gallup survey published Thursday.

In short: The Solong collided with the Stena Immaculate, which was carrying 220,000 barrels of jet fuel for the U.S. Air Force; at least one tank is leaking into the North Sea.
Experts stress the importance of maintaining an ideal body weight, consuming a balanced diet and ensuring six to eight hours of sleep crucial steps toward kidney health; despite the increasing prevalence of kidney-related issues among young Indians, awareness remains alarmingly low
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face a high risk of multiple micronutrient deficiencies, especially vitamins A, D, B12, and calcium, due to extreme food selectivity. These deficiencies can lead to severe health issues like rickets, vision loss, and immune dysfunction, even in children with normal body weight.

The Food Packaging Forum updates their Database on Migrating and Extractable Food Contact Chemicals ( FCCmigex ), identifying 1,060 new chemicals present in or migrating from food packaging and other food contact articles. The database now includes 5,294 chemicals (a 20% increase since 2023), and over 35,500 database entries (a 30% increase).
The 2025 U. S. State of the Birds Report, produced by a coalition of leading science and conservation organizations, reveals continued widespread declines in American bird populations across all mainland and marine habitats, with 229 species requiring urgent conservation action.
A new review highlights how gut microbiome imbalances contribute to cardiovascular disease by altering short-chain fatty acids, TMAO, and inflammatory pathways. The study emphasizes the potential of prebiotics, probiotics, and dietary changes to restore gut health and reduce heart disease risk.
Water once existed in abundance of at the surface of Mars. How much of that water has been stored in the planet's crust is still unclear, according to a new analysis.
High-grade glioma, an aggressive form of pediatric and adult brain cancer, is challenging to treat given the tumor location, incidence of recurrence and difficulty for drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Firefighters show higher rates of glioma-linked SBS42 mutational signatures associated with haloalkane exposure, suggesting occupational risk. The study highlights a clear link between firefighting, chemical exposure, and brain cancer mutations.
WEHI researchers have made a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson's disease, solving a decades-long mystery that paves the way for development of new drugs to treat the condition.
Researchers have advanced a decades-old challenge in the field of organic semiconductors, opening new possibilities for the future of electronics. The researchers have created an organic semiconductor that forces electrons to move in a spiral pattern, which could improve the efficiency of OLED displays in television and smartphone screens, or power next-generation computing technologies such as spintronics and quantum computing.
Global Parkinsons disease cases are projected to more than double to 25.2 million by 2050, driven largely by aging populations and socio-demographic factors. The sharpest increases are expected in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, with men disproportionately affected.
Inside the human eye, the retina is made up of several types of cells, including the light-sensing photoreceptors that initiate the cascade of events that lead to vision.
Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries or diseases such as ALS.
A research group, led by Dr. Pavel Majer from IOCB Prague, in collaboration with the laboratories of Barbara Slusher and Louis Garza at Johns Hopkins University, have developed a compound that could potentially treat the autoimmune disorder alopecia areata, which causes hair loss leading to the formation of bald patches.
A study highlights a new approach in addressing conductive hearing loss. A team of scientists has designed a new type of hearing aid that not only improves hearing but also offers a safe, non-invasive alternative to implantable devices and corrective surgeries.
Bacterial foodborne outbreaks in the U.S. increased while viral outbreaks declined between 2014 and 2022, with environmental contamination rising as a key cause. The study highlights how improved hygiene reduced viral transmission but shows persistent risks from improper food handling and temperatures.
Many people dream of retiring to a warmer, less expensive country. But retirees who move abroad may be at greater risk of loneliness than those who stay in their home country, according to new research.
Researchers from the University of Seville and the University of Cadiz, coordinated by the professors of Physiology Pedro Nez-Abades and Carmen Castro, have demonstrated that the use of diterpenes facilitates repopulation with new neurons in brain regions damaged by traumatic injuries.
As many as half of nursing home residents are cognitively impaired and may be unable to communicate symptoms such as pain or anxiety to the staff and clinicians caring for them.
Physical activity is seen as a way to extend the human lifespan, but twin studies found the benefits of physical activity for longevity may not be as straightforward as has been previously thought.
A new neuroimaging study has revealed that viewing nature can help ease how people experience pain, by reducing the brain activity linked to pain perception.
