Because it develops silently, many people only discover they have it after a fracture or bone scan. Aging, menopause, poor diet, and inactivity can all contribute to bone loss. Fortunately, exercise, adequate calcium and vitamin D, and other healthy habits can slow or even partially reverse the decline.","url":"https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260624025511.htm","domain":"Science Daily","pubDate":"Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:25:26 EDT","hasFullContent":false,"language":"en","region":"us"},{"title":"A NASA satellite caught a giant tsunami doing something no one expected","description":"A Pacific-wide tsunami triggered by a magnitude 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake gave scientists their first detailed satellite view of a major tsunami in motion.

Philosophers Eric Schwitzgebel and Jeremy Pober argue that consciousness could arise in many different forms of life, even in beings built from radically different materials than those found on Earth. Drawing on the vastness of the universe and the likely existence of countless alien civilizations, they suggest it would be surprisingly Earth-centric to assume that only Earth-like biology can support conscious experience.","url":"https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260623083146.htm","domain":"Science Daily","pubDate":"Wed, 24 Jun 2026 10:49:57 EDT","hasFullContent":false,"language":"en","region":"us"},{"title":"Scientists discover ancient brain cells that help block distractions","description":"Scientists have discovered a tiny group of neurons in an ancient brain region that acts like a built-in focus filter, helping the brain ignore distractions and zero in on what matters most. When researchers temporarily switched off these neurons in mice, the animals became unusually distractible—similar to what is seen in ADHD—but regained normal focus as soon as the neurons were reactivated.","url":"https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260624025426.htm","domain":"Science Daily","pubDate":"Wed, 24 Jun 2026 09:30:09 EDT","hasFullContent":false,"language":"en","region":"us"},{"title":"Scientists discover hidden “footprints of death” that may help viruses spread","description":"Scientists have uncovered a surprising new twist in what happens when cells die. As dying cells break apart, they leave behind tiny “footprints of death” packed with newly discovered particles that help guide the immune system to clean up the remains. But researchers found that influenza viruses can exploit this process, hiding inside these microscopic packages and potentially using them to spread to nearby cells.","url":"https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260623014028.htm","domain":"Science Daily","pubDate":"Wed, 24 Jun 2026 09:01:58 EDT","hasFullContent":false,"language":"en","region":"us"},{"title":"Why South Africa’s leopards shrank to half their normal size","description":"A hidden population of South African leopards has revealed a remarkable evolutionary story. Researchers analyzing entire leopard genomes discovered that the Cape Floristic Region’s leopards are not only much smaller than most African leopards, but also genetically distinct after being isolated for roughly 20,000 years. Surprisingly, despite their small population, they have retained much of their genetic diversity.","url":"https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260623083113.htm","domain":"Science Daily","pubDate":"Wed, 24 Jun 2026 08:00:28 EDT","hasFullContent":false,"language":"en","region":"us"},{"title":"Early humans were bringing fire into caves 1.8 million years ago","description":"A new study suggests early humans were using fire in South Africa’s Wonderwerk Cave as far back as 1.79 million years ago. Researchers found burned bones deep inside the cave, where natural wildfires could not have reached, indicating that fire was likely carried in and maintained by human ancestors.
