If you follow wellness channels on social media, you might’ve come across the claim that your grip strength – or how firmly you can squeeze something with your hands – can predict how long you will live.

By starting with the fewest assumptions possible, a team of researchers formed a “bootstrap” rationale suggesting that the properties of a grand theory of everything are likely to look suspiciously string-like.

For captive animals, engaging in natural behavior is a pillar of the animal welfare framework. But when it comes to sex, one important behavior has been largely ignored, and sometimes even punished: masturbation.

Circumcision may soon be fully reversible. That’s the goal of Foregen, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the first viable bio-engineered foreskin using advanced tissue engineering.

We're a step closer to understanding how energy is spread across the Universe, with the most detailed map of intergalactic magnetism ever produced. It's more than five times larger than all earlier surveys combined.

For nearly 200 years, biologists felt they had seen it all when it came to nudibranch species, with only six types identified around the world. Then, scientists in Taiwan chanced upon another, the size of a grain of rice, that no one knew existed.
