Planet's Death Plunge into Star: Webb Telescope Reveals New Details
New James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal a planet's demise 12,000 light-years away in the Aquila constellation, caused by a death plunge into its star due to orbital decay, contradicting earlier theories. The event ejected hot gas and dust, observable by Webb.

Saliva Test Shows Improved Accuracy in Prostate Cancer Risk Assessment
A new saliva test shows promise in identifying prostate cancer risk more accurately than the standard PSA blood test, with 40% of high-risk men in a UK study having cancer, compared to 25% with the PSA test, potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies.

Ancient Libyan Mummies Reveal Isolated Human Group, Rewriting North African History
DNA analysis of two 7,000-year-old mummies in Libya reveals a previously unknown human group isolated in the Green Sahara, challenging theories of human migration and interbreeding in North Africa, and suggesting cultural diffusion without genetic mixing.

Vaccination Rates and Herd Immunity: Simulations Reveal Thresholds and Risks
Simulations demonstrate that containing contagious diseases requires vaccination rates above a herd immunity threshold, varying with contagiousness; uneven vaccination distribution leaves communities vulnerable, even with high overall rates.

Dinosaur Populations Thrived Before Asteroid Impact, Study Suggests
A new study using statistical modeling of the North American fossil record suggests that dinosaurs were thriving before the asteroid impact 66 million years ago, challenging previous theories of pre-existing decline; geological factors, not population changes, likely account for the apparent decreas...

Heavy Alcohol Consumption Linked to Increased Risk of Brain Damage
A study in Neurology linked weekly consumption of eight or more alcoholic beverages to a 133% higher risk of vascular brain lesions, cognitive decline, and a 13-year shorter lifespan compared to non-drinkers; the risk was also higher for former heavy drinkers.
