On land, dramatic canyons such as the Grand Canyon are carved over time by flowing rivers. The ocean does not have rivers capable of cutting into rock on that scale. Even so, the seafloor hosts enormous features that surpass the size of the largest land canyons. About 1,000 kilometers off the coast of Portugal lies

Smartwatches are helping children make friends — but also exposing them to explicit and potentially dangerous content...

A groundbreaking 16-year study has uncovered how lifestyle and metabolic factors may speed up brain aging. Using advanced brain imaging and machine learning, researchers identified five high-risk factors that significantly impact brain structure. Hypertension and other health risks accelerate brain aging, as shown in a 16-year study using MRI data and predictive modeling. Chinese scientists

Proxy wars, a phenomenon where ex­ternal powers support opposing sides in a conflict in order to influence the outcome of the conflict and advance their own strategic interests, have become a defining feature in geopoli­tics. From the Middle East to Eastern Europe and Africa, these conflicts are destabilizing regions, causing extrem­ism and threatening global security.
