Smoking Boosts Risk For Type-2 Diabetes Subtypes, Especially Severe Kinds
A new large Scandinavian study finds that smoking (past or current) increases the risk for all four subtypes of type-2 diabetes (T2D). Heavy smokers and those with genetic susceptibility are particularly at risk.

Scientists Say Solar Flares Are Hotter Than Expected, Could Reach 108 Million Degrees
A groundbreaking study shows ions in solar flares can reach 108 million°F, about six times hotter than earlier estimates. The research explains decades-old mysteries in flare spectra and urges new “multi-temperature” models to better forecast space weather, protecting satellites, astronauts, and communications from hazardous solar storms.

Microscopic Tooth Scratches Unlock Secrets of Sauropod Dinosaurs
The first study to utilise microscopic damage on sauropod dinosaur teeth, a method known as Dental Microwear Texture Analysis (DMTA), has shed light on the feeding habits and locomotion of herbivores 150 million years ago, according to new findings reported on September 7, 2025, by Freie Universität Berlin.

Diamond 'Super-Earth' May Not Be Quite as Precious as Once Thought, Study Finds
New research challenges the idea that 55 Cancri e, once dubbed a “diamond planet”, is rich in carbon. Re-analysing telescope data, scientists concluded that the host star has a lot more oxygen than originally believed, making the possibility that its planet formed with a carbon-dominant atmosphere less likely.

Exoplanets Explained: How Astronomers Find Worlds Orbiting Stars Beyond the Sun
Exoplanets are planets orbiting stars outside our solar system, hidden by stellar glare and detected indirectly. Astronomers identify them by tracking star wobbles or dips in brightness during planetary transits. NASA’s Kepler mission revealed thousands, with TESS now expanding the search. These discoveries confirm that planetary systems are abun...

Scientists Map Brain Activity Across 95% of the Mammalian Brain in Landmark Study
In a historic collaboration, scientists created the first comprehensive mammalian brain activity map. The project, led by the International Brain Laboratory, analyzed data from 600,000 cells across 139 mice. Findings revealed that decision-making and memory are spread across the brain, not confined to specific regions as previously believed.

Earth's Slowing Rotation May Explain Rise Of Oxygen In Atmosphere, Study Finds
The study highlights how longer days allowed cyanobacteria to photosynthesise more oxygen because their activity depends not just on sunlight but on the timing of their metabolic processes.

Washable Fiber Computer Could Transform the Future of Smart Clothing, Study Finds
Scientists have created a washable fibre computer that integrates sensors, processors, and communication modules into a single strand. Tested in garments, the fibres achieved up to 95% accuracy in detecting human movements. Researchers say the breakthrough could lead to practical smart clothing, though challenges like energy use and communication s...
