Genetic Mutation Allowed Black Death to Persist for Centuries
A new study published in Science reveals that the deletion of the pla gene in Yersinia pestis, the bacterium responsible for the plague, reduced its virulence, allowing it to persist for centuries after the initial Black Death outbreak by modifying transmission dynamics within a decimated rodent pop...

New Research Suggests Megalodon Was 80 Feet Long and Sleek
A new study suggests the extinct megalodon shark, previously thought to be up to 50 feet long, could have reached 80 feet (24 meters), with a sleeker body shape resembling a lemon shark rather than a great white, according to a study published Sunday in the journal Palaeontologia Electronica.

Rising Pre-Myopia in Children: Urgent Call for Prevention
Children are increasingly born with pre-myopia, a condition worsening with age and linked to near-work activities and reduced outdoor time; interventions like delaying screen time, increasing outdoor time, and using specific eye drops are suggested.

James Webb Telescope Searches for Planets Around Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri
Recent astronomical observations using the James Webb Space Telescope explored the Alpha Centauri binary star system and its potential planets, while confirming at least one planet around Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the sun, and possibly a second.

506-Million-Year-Old Fossil Challenges Understanding of Early Arthropod Evolution
A newly discovered 506-million-year-old Cambrian arthropod fossil, Mosura fentoni, from Canada's Burgess Shale, possesses three eyes, posterior gills, and a moth-like body plan, challenging previous assumptions about early arthropod evolution and showcasing the diversity of life during the Cambrian ...

Alcohol-Related Cancer Deaths Double in the U.S. Amidst Widespread Public Unawareness
A study presented at ASCO 2025 reveals that alcohol-related cancer deaths in the U.S. nearly doubled from 1990 to 2021, reaching over 23,000 annually, while another study finds that 60% of U.S. adults are unaware of the link between alcohol and cancer.

Human Evolution on Mars: A Likely Scenario
Human evolution continues; populations adapt to new environments through natural selection, as seen in high-altitude populations and those with lighter skin. Martian colonists will likely face new selective pressures, resulting in genetic adaptation over time.

Climate Change Extends Extreme Heat by One Month for Half the World
A new study found that human-caused climate change led to an extra month of extreme heat for 49% of the world's population (nearly four billion people) between May 2024 and May 2025, with the highest number of extra heat days recorded in Aruba (45 additional days).
