About Science on Plax
This section follows research and discovery across biology, chemistry, earth science and medicine: a new finding, a result that overturns an older idea, or a clear explanation of how something we already know works. Stories are short summaries of reports from science publishers and news outlets, each linked to the original.
A single study is a step, not a conclusion. When you read a science story, look at how many people or samples were studied, whether the result was in humans or in animals, and whether other teams have found the same thing. Our guide to how science works explains how claims are tested and checked.
