Perhaps best known as a immune-system boost or antidote to scurvy, vitamin C has been found to rejuvenate aging skin by reactivating genes responsible for cell growth. By promoting DNA demethylation, vitamin C enhances the proliferation of cells that result in thicker and healthier skin. This discovery opens new avenues to genetically revive aging skin.

Researchers in New Zealand have demonstrated a minimally invasive technology that has effectively aided in restoring movement in paralyzed rats. This breakthrough could mean we're a big step closer to treating spinal cord injuries in humans and pets – which are presently incurable and often lead to a loss of motor function.
A current weight-loss and diabetes drug has become a surprise candidate for migraine treatment, with a new pilot study showing the GLP-1 receptor agonist provided significant relief to sufferers of these debilitating, severe headaches. It reduced both frequency and disability experienced during episodes.

Steam rises over the rim of the Kilauea Volcano crater on the Big Island of Hawaii at sunrise. I rose early to catch the morning light, but hadn't anticipated the steam rising from the volcano below. Lucky me.

BMW is working on introducing a new 3 Series that will include a standalone electric vehicle called the i3, alongside the standard ICE and plug-in hybrid models. And unlike the oddball carbon-fiber hatchback that was once known by that name, the next-generation electric i3 is set to be an out-and-out sedan.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn’t caused by just one faulty switch in the brain; it’s more like a tangled orchestra of genes and cells thrown off-key by trauma. With many genetic players involved, scientists are still piecing together the full score.

Is it just me, or are middleweight motorcycles the most well-balanced, appropriately powered option for most riders? They seem to strike the perfect balance between the agility of lightweight bikes and the power of heavyweights. Suzuki’s continued focus on this category might be the latest evidence of its appeal.

Long before the Inka (commonly known as Inca in English) rose to power, a mysterious civilization bloomed on the edge of Lake Titicaca. Known as Tiwanaku, it began as a humble farming village in the Bolivian highlands and, by around 500 BCE, grew into a sprawling city-state that influenced much of the Andean world.
From ancient Roman baths to modern infrared saunas, passive heat therapy has become an increasingly popular therapeutic tool for improving health and reducing the risk and/or severity of disease. As the heat seeps in, your core temperature rises. The result? Your cardiovascular system kicks into gear, your blood vessels expand, your heart rate elevates – like a brisk jog without leaving the bench.

With affordable drones making aerial photography accessible to virtually anyone, the number of photographers shooting from above has skyrocketed.
This boom didn't go unnoticed by Peter Eastway and David Evans, organizers of the International Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards. Inspired by this growth in aerial photography, they established a dedicated competition: The International Aerial Photography of the Year Awards.
The 2025 competition drew over 1500 entries from around the globe, with American photographer Joanna Steidle winning top honors for her captivating images of marine life near her Southampton, New York, home.
We're excited to share some of the winning images from this year's competition. The complete collection of 101 winning images is available as an e-book on the competition's website.
Aerial Photographer of the Year: 1st placeThe judges selected photographer Joanna Steidle of the United States as the overall winner of the International Aerial Photographer of the Year Awards. Steidle, based in the Hamptons on Long Island, New York, submitted a portfolio of images featuring marine life photographed just 7-13km (4-6 miles) from her own home.
"Growing up, I never saw whales or dolphins from the shore," explains Steidle. "But due to conservation efforts, our coastline has rebounded with a plethora of sea creatures in the past few years."

The vertical movement of the mantle is one of the driving forces that brings about large-scale geological changes to the surface of our planet. These mantle upwellings, sometimes referred to as mantle plumes, are hypothesized to play a role in some major geological shifts such as continental drifting. A similar, subtle yet significant phenomenon has been found to be currently taking place beneath the African continent.
