Using MRI scans of 30 astronauts, the researchers built on those earlier studies to discover that the longer the spaceflight, the greater the increase in brain fluid volume.
A new study found that the Y chromosomes are degenerating gradually across many species of mammals.
Ions inside a compact fusion reactor barely a meter across have been heated to the magic figure of 100 million degrees Celsius for the first time in a monumental step towards making nuclear fusion energy a practical reality.
Now we have the first X-ray taken of a single atom, courtesy of scientists from the US, according to a new paper published in the journal Nature.
Mounting evidence suggests humans are now a major driving force of evolution on Earth. We're altering so much of our world that we're not only now driving the climate, but the direction of life itself.
To build the pangenome, scientists used data from the 1000 Genomes Project, which included participants from across ethnic groups. The development is a landmark in genomics.
For the first time, surgeons have successfully repaired a major malformation in the brain of a fetus.
That brings the total to 43,454 undersea mountains, almost doubling the number we knew about.
In a new study, a model trained on functional magnetic resonance imaging scans of three volunteers was able to predict whole sentences they were hearing with surprising accuracy—just by looking at their brain activity.
At the time of death, brain activity was detected in the TPJ region of the brain - a recent study found. The TPJ region already has a known association with dreaming, hallucinations, and altered states of consciousness.
Recent studies show that the famous gene-editing tool does more in bacteria than just spot DNA for chopping up; it coordinates with other proteins to bulk up defenses against invading viruses as well.
Scientists have developed a specially engineered biochip that uses electricity to heal wounds up to three times faster than normal.
Italian researchers have created the first-ever rechargeable battery from food ingredients. This invention could potentially power small diagnostic devices used to internally diagnose health conditions.
In a new study researchers describe how creatures that are normally found along coastlines, not the open ocean, have made their homes on floating trash in the Pacific Ocean.
A lightning bolt has produced a fascinating type of phosphorus material - a close match for calcium phosphite (CaHPO3). We have never seen this material occur naturally on Earth – minerals similar to it can be found in meteorites and space.
