New research from City of Hope uncovers the hidden cellular trigger behind middle-age belly fat — offering fresh hope for therapies that could curb weight gain, boost metabolism, and extend healthy lifespans.

A study has found that men face more social status pressure in countries when gender equality is high. It further shares that in these countries there are comparatively strong social beliefs for men to maintain the higher status of their gender group.

Fragile no more: University of Houston researchers have engineered ceramic structures that flex without breaking — blending ancient origami with modern materials science. Their innovation could revolutionize fields from aerospace to medicine.

Researchers have developed a technology bracelet that assists children to better understand how others play and interact. The technology enables to facilitate more inclusive play experiences.

A study has revealed that detecting the signs that commonly precede sudden arrhythmic death syndrome may help to prevent premature deaths among young people.

A team of researchers from Rice University, Carnegie Mellon University and other leading global institutions has outlined a bold new roadmap for harnessing heterogeneous catalysis to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the so-called “forever chemicals” that have contaminated water supplies worldwide.

Is happiness shaped by our circumstances or by who we are inside?
