Science reveals sound significantly impacts our food experience, influencing taste perception and enjoyment. Researchers found high-pitched sounds enhance sweetness, while low tones amplify bitterness. Tempo affects eating speed, and volume can alter food choices. This crossmodal connection, where the brain links sound with flavour, is already shaping restaurant experiences.

A new plant-based scalp serum from Taipei shows promising early results for hair regrowth. Researchers found that volunteers using the formula for eight weeks saw improvements in hair density and thickness. This topical treatment offers a faster alternative to existing options.

New research suggests air pollution, including traffic emissions and dust, significantly increases migraine frequency. Both immediate and long-term exposure to pollutants like PM10, PM2.5, and nitrogen dioxide are linked to more severe migraine activity. Climate factors such as heat and humidity can worsen these effects, prompting calls for integrated environmental risk factor guidance for migraine sufferers.

Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman captured a rare "Earthset" during the mission's lunar flyby, showing our planet disappearing behind the Moon. The footage, taken from deep space, highlights the Moon's surface as Earth shrinks to a crescent and vanishes. This once-in-a-lifetime view, last seen during the Apollo missions, occurred as the crew passed over the Moon's far side.

Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin is set to achieve a major milestone by reusing a New Glenn rocket booster for the first time on Sunday. This heavy-lift rocket, carrying an AST SpaceMobile satellite, aims to cut costs and boost competition with SpaceX. A successful reuse could significantly advance Blue Origin's lunar ambitions and its role in NASA's Artemis program.

A new study by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics suggests that small dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way could host central black holes. Researchers modeled these faint galaxies, finding that any black holes present are likely less than a million solar masses.
