New Study Suggests Moon Formed 180 Million Years Earlier
A new study posits the Moon formed 180 million years earlier than previously estimated, between 4.430 and 4.530 billion years ago, due to a global melting event caused by tidal heating after the impact with Theia, which reset the crystallization process and erased early impact traces.

Taxi and Ambulance Drivers Show Lower Alzheimer's Death Rates: Study
A Harvard Medical School study found lower Alzheimer's death rates among US taxi and ambulance drivers (1.03% and 0.91%) compared to the general population (1.69%) and other transportation jobs, suggesting that memory-intensive navigation might offer some protection against Alzheimer's, though more ...

Oldest Saber-Toothed Animal Fossil Found, Reshaping Understanding of Mammal Evolution
A 280-to-270-million-year-old gorgonopsian fossil, the oldest known saber-toothed animal, was discovered in Mallorca, Spain, filling a significant gap in the therapsid fossil record and suggesting that early mammal ancestors may have thrived in diverse environments.

Food Additives Linked to Rise in Young-Onset Colon Cancer
Dr. Maria Abreu, president of the American Gastroenterological Association, links the rise in young-onset colon cancer cases in the US to food additives like high-fructose corn syrup and emulsifiers, which disrupt the gut microbiome and cause chronic inflammation, potentially leading to cancer.
