Brain scans of a 72-year-old man diagnosed with a highly aggressive form of cancer known as a glioblastoma have revealed a remarkable regression in his tumor's size within days of receiving an innovative new treatment.
Miassite is one of only four minerals found in nature that act as a superconductor when grown in the lab. It is an unconventional superconductor with properties similar to high-temperature superconductors.
Scientists have discovered in Antarctic ice a strange link between past levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and centuries-long global pandemics, reminding us of just how easily humans - or the lack thereof - can shape planet Earth.
Recently scientists have discovered one plausible pathway for how protocells may have first formed and chemically progressed to allow for a diversity of functions.
Bits of glass called Hiroshimaites may have formed by processes similar to those that formed the Sun and the planets.
Teams of physicists at CERN and the University of Tokyo have both taken a major step forward towards understanding a flighty, short-lived particle.

Even small doses of LSD could have therapeutic benefits for mental health and task performance, a new study shows.
The patient is now considered in remission from acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and in another two years, he could be considered 'cured' of HIV, as that will mark five years from his last treatment.
Narrowly focused soundwaves aimed at an area of the brain called the insula reduced both the perception of pain and the body’s reaction to it, according to a new study.
Scientists have confirmed the existence of a strange new form of magnetism. Hiding right under our noses, the team says that “altermagnetism” can be found in everyday materials and could have major technological uses.
It is clear that going to space exploration will not be reserved for astronauts and government space agencies for much longer. But before the 'Great Migration' can begin, there are a lot of questions that need to be addressed.
