A new study examines how time in space impacts astronauts’ brains, possibly having big implications for the future of space flight. Scientists discovered that parts of the brain moved up to 2mm in the skull after periods spent in a zero gravity environment. NBC News’ Tom Costello reports on the new findings as NASA is due to bring home its astronauts early due to an undisclosed medical emergency.

Hygienic conditions in Pompeii's early baths were poor, according to isotope analysis

The city of Pompeii was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have now reconstructed the city's water supply system based on carbonate deposits—particularly the transition from wells to an aqueduct.

Left in the Cold: Study Finds Most Renters Shut Out of Energy-Saving Upgrades

As winter heating costs rise, new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York reveals a cold truth. Renters - who make up approximately 1⁄3 of the U.S. population - are missing out on energy efficiency improvements that could lower their bills, make their apartments more comfortable and improve their health.

A centuries-old debate on how reptiles keep evolving skin bones is finally settled

Our bones did not begin deep inside the body. They started in the skin, not long after the first complex animals took shape.

Scientists realize a three-qubit quantum register in a silicon photonic chip

Quantum technologies are highly promising devices that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects. Instead of relying on bits, like classical computers, quantum devices rely on entangled qubits, units of information that can also exist in multiple states (0 and 1) at once.

Spaceflight causes astronauts' brains to shift, stretch and compress in microgravity

Spaceflight takes a physical toll on astronauts, causing muscles to atrophy, bones to thin and bodily fluids to shift. According to a new study published in the journal PNAS, we can now add another major change to that list. Being in microgravity causes the brain to change shape.

XTL Biopharmaceuticals Acquires 85% of NeuroNOS, Entering the Massive Autism Market with Nobel Prize-Winning Scientific Leadership

Unmatched scientific firepower: Two Nobel Laureates join Founder Prof. Haitham Amal, leading global autism researcherCritical unmet need: 1 in 31 U.S. children now affected, zero FDA-approved disease-modifying therapies existFDA Orphan Drug designations secured for autism-related Phelan-McDermid Syndrome (PMS) and GlioblastomaPlatform targets the core biology of autism, not just symptomatic reliefBeyond Air (NASDAQ:XAIR), majority owner of NeuroNOS, to hold 19.99% of XTL's post-transaction share capitalBeyond Air to receive up to $32.5 million in upfront, development and commercial milestone paymentsTEL AVIV and BOSTON, Jan. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ:XTLB, TASE: XTLB.TA)) today announced a binding agreement to acquire 85% of NeuroNOS Ltd., a subsidiary of Beyond Air, Inc. (NASDAQ:XAIR), a biotechnology company pioneering disease-modifying therapeutics targeting the core pathophysiology of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and neuro-oncology.This transformative acquisition positions XTL as a major player in the rapidly expanding autism therapeutics market, addressing one of the most urgent and underserved medical needs in global healthcare. Unlike symptomatic treatments, NeuroNOS's platform is designed to address the underlying molecular mechanisms driving autism.The Autism Crisis and Market OpportunityAutism Spectrum Disorder now affects approximately 1 in 31 children in the United States, a dramatic increase that has placed unprecedented strain on healthcare systems, educational institutions, and millions of families worldwide.Despite this crisis and decades of research, no FDA-approved disease-modifying therapies exist for autism. Current treatments only manage behavioral symptoms without addressing the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of the disorder, leaving the core pathology untreated and families without meaningful therapeutic options.The urgency has reached the highest levels of U.S. policy. President Donald Trump recently stated:"The meteoric rise in autism is among the most alarming public health developments in history. There's never been anything like this. So we're going to save a lot of children from a tough life, a really tough life. We're going to save a lot of parents from a tough life."Robert F. Kennedy Jr., U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, added:"This is an individual tragedy as well. Autism destroys families, but more importantly it destroys our greatest resource, which are our children. We have to recognize we are doing this to our children, and we need to put an end to it."The President and leadership of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have emphasized the urgent need to open new therapeutic pathways for autism, invest in advanced research, and bring hope to families who have experienced a lack of solutions for years. The administration has allocated $50 million in new NIH funding for autism research ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
