Substance Abuse Among Students Starts At Age 12: AIIMS-Backed 10-City Survey
Study across 10 Indian cities finds kids start substance use at 12 to 13 years of age. Early school interventions can cut addiction risk, say AIIMS researchers.

Turning Movements Measured By Wearable Sensors Could Predict Parkinson's Years Ahead, Finds Study
The participants wore a single sensor on their lower back, which measured turning movements they made while walking down a 20-metre hallway, including angle, duration, and speed.

Laughing Gas May Provide Quick Relief In Depression, New Study Finds
The researchers emphasise the need for further studies to determine the optimal dosing strategy.

Chronic Kidney Disease Accelerates Cognitive Decline Differently In Men And Women, Study Finds
The decline is primarily due to damage to the "heart-brain link" triggered by chronic kidney illness, the study said.

Indian Dance Mudras May Revolutionise Robotic Hand Control, UMBC Study Shows
Researchers are using classical Indian dance, especially Bharatanatyam mudras, to improve robotic hand dexterity. By analysing 30 structured mudras, scientists found they offer more versatile motion patterns than everyday grasps. These dance-derived synergies could enhance prosthetics, assistive robots, gesture-based rehabilitation and future human...

Young Ants Send 'Kill Me' Signal When Sick, Study Finds
A new study shows that sick young ant pupae release a chemical scent asking worker ants to kill them to stop diseases from spreading in the colony.

1 Million Children Under 5 Died Globally In 2023, India Second Highest Contributor: Lancet Study
Nigeria recorded the highest number of under-five deaths linked to 'child growth failure', while the Democratic Republic of Congo ranked third, a step below India, the findings published in The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health journal show.

Tackling This Childhood Virus Early May Reduce Bladder Cancer Risks Later: Study
UK researchers have found a common childhood virus that can trigger DNA damage leading to bladder cancer later in life.

New Study Shows Antarctic Waters Unleashed Ancient Carbon at the Ice Age’s End
New research shows that shifting Antarctic circulation after the last Ice Age released ancient deep-ocean carbon into the atmosphere. Using Southern Ocean sediment cores, scientists traced how expanding Antarctic Bottom Water mixed long-isolated, carbon-rich waters upward. The findings reveal a major but underappreciated driver of early Holocene wa...

Scientists Find Clock on Mars Runs 477 Microseconds Faster Than Earth
A new study by NIST physicists shows that clocks on Mars run about 477 microseconds faster per day than identical clocks on Earth. The difference comes from Mars’s weaker gravity, orbital eccentricity, and gravitational influences across the solar system. Though tiny, this daily time lead will pose challenges for future Mars navigation and commun...

Over 75% Of Global Population Falls Short On Vital Omega-3 Fatty Acids Intake, Finds Study
The study, published in the journal Nutrition Research Reviews, analysed data from the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization global online repository. Forty-two technical and scientific documents were included in the analysis.

Indian Team Finds 53 Massive Quasars Blasting Jets Millions of Light-Years Long
Astronomers in India have identified 53 previously unknown giant radio quasars powered by supermassive black holes, each releasing enormous plasma jets reaching up to 7.2 million light-years—nearly 50 times the Milky Way’s diameter. Using GMRT data, the team expanded the catalog of known giant quasars and offered valuable clues about how black ...

Study Finds Low Blood Choline As Possible Factor In Obesity-Related Alzheimer's Risk
A study links low blood choline levels in obese young adults to liver dysfunction, insulin resistance, and markers associated with increased Alzheimer's risk.

Can Consuming Certain Carbs Increase Lung Cancer Risk?
A newly highlighted study finds that diets high in rapidly digestible carbs (high-glycaemic index) may modestly raise lung cancer risk, while whole-grain and low-GI carb diets may not.

Venus' Winds Race Around The Planet At Extreme Speeds Due To Solar Heat
New findings suggest that diurnal tides, driven by solar heat, are a major contributor to the extreme speeds of Venus's winds.
