Sciworthy

Sciworthy helps you find truth in media by explaining scientific studies in everyday language. No politics - just knowledge.

We envision a world where citizens can freely explore science for themselves. Our mission is to give knowledge-seekers welcoming and transparent explanations of the scientific method in action. What We Do

We summarize scientific studies in easy to understand language, without all the political and emotional biases of news. We are powered by the motivation and passion of volunteers, and supported

by the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Blue Marble Space. We simply tell you about what the scientists did, how they did it, and the results they got. We always link to the original source at the bottom of every article. Our writers are scientists, professionals, and graduate students who are experienced in the subjects they write about. Our Philosophy

We do not and never will rely on advertising revenue. Our content will always be free for you. We make a conscious effort to minimize ideological bias and avoid putting our own interpretations of the science into the article. This is so you can make up your own mind about what you are reading. Our articles are ideal for teachers, students, and lifelong learners.

Researchers found that simple lipids can form stable, membrane-like structures in sulfuric acid concentrations similar to the clouds of Venus.

Astrobiologists demonstrated that cell membrane structures can form in high concentrations of sulfuric acid similar to the clouds of Venus.

Researchers concluded that although flares could significantly disrupt normal exoplanet conditions, they would only temporarily affect our ability to detect life on them. Shew! 😮‍💨

Astronomers tested whether energy bursts from stars could artificially elevate typical “biosignature” gases on exoplanets.

Researchers linked measurable aspects of sleep - like how long and how deeply people sleep, and how often they wake during the night - to several health conditions.

New research suggests poor sleep is associated with illnesses like Parkinson’s disease and type 2 diabetes.

Scientists from the US and the UK created a dynamic simulation of the sub-Neptune GJ 1214b to study its evolution over 20 billion years.

Scientists found exoplanets with a high water content start out with outer v***r layers, then cool and shrink over time.

Researchers demonstrated that microbial DNA from a 300-year-old ice core can help track how microbes respond to global change.

Scientists discovered that growing fractures led to the collapse of an East Antarctic ice shelf. New article by Trinity geology student Sadie Eidson!

Scientists found that growing fractures caused an East Antarctic ice shelf to collapse and melt more quickly.

During the year, the Sun appears to move along a path in the sky known as the ecliptic. The Earth’s equator, or its sky equivalent called the celestial equator, is offset from the ecliptic by 23.5°. This means that for 6 months, either the northern or southern hemisphere faces towards the Sun whi...

Throwback Thursday! In 2016, researchers from Columbia University developed a program that utilizes gene expression information to identify individual proteins that cause tumor growth.

Medical researchers developed a computational analysis technique, called VIPER, that can predict how cancer cells respond to drugs.

Astronomers are attempting to identify the source of mysterious short-wavelength radiation emanating from somewhere outside the galaxy, known as the extragalactic gamma-ray background.

Researchers found that distant star-forming galaxies can only account for about half of the radiation from outside the Milky Way Galaxy.

09/04/2025

Researchers estimated that the oceans could have become up to 5 times more acidic during a massive release of carbon dioxide 56 million years ago.

Geologists found that a short-term carbon cycle feedback 56 million years ago changed Earth's climate and killed off animals.
