In a noteworthy first, a team of Princeton physicists has been able to link together individual molecules into special states that are quantum mechanically “entangled.”
Beneath one Arctic island's permafrost, millions of cubic meters of methane are trapped—and scientists have now learned that it can migrate beneath the cold seal of the permafrost and escape.
Safer relief for people suffering from severe asthma is a step closer with a large clinical trial finding a monocolonal antibody treatment called benralizumab can radically reduce the need for more dangerous high-dose steroid treatments.
The James Webb Space Telescope has turned its golden gaze to Cassiopeia A, a spectacular, complex, expanding cloud of hot gas billowing out from a star humanity saw go supernova back in the 1670s.
The scientists made a startling observation when they observed that the atmosphere of Mars dramatically ballooned outwards because of a void created due to a powerful gust of solar wind.
Researchers from Finland's University of Helsinki found that certain single mutations produce palindromes, which read the same backward and forward. Under the right circumstances, these can evolve into microRNA (miRNA) genes.
The electric eel is the biggest power-making creature on Earth. It can release up to 860 volts, which is enough to run a machine. In a recent study, Japanese researchers found electric eels can release enough electricity to genetically modify small fish larvae.
A joint Spanish and American research team found that people living near green spaces are on average 2.5 years biologically younger than those who do not.
A recent study shows how a number of effects of longer daily commutes can snowball into depression. The study was conducted in South Korea, a country with some of the longest average commuting times.
Mini brains grown in a lab from stem cells spontaneously developed rudimentary eye structures, scientists reported in a fascinating paper in 2021.
2023 has seen climate records being not just broken, but smashed. By September there had already been 38 days when global average temperatures exceeded pre-industrial ones by 1.5°C.
The sticky clumps of amyloid beta protein found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease might behave like prions and may even spread to other people under very rare circumstances involving medical procedures.
A massive hole opened up in the Sun's atmosphere over the weekend, measuring more than 60 times the diameter of the Earth across at its peak.
A study by evolutionary neuroscientists suggests our minds develop thanks to fermentation. It made food easier to digest and contained more nutrients, facilitating our grey matter’s development.
Metals have their own intrinsic, natural ability to heal themselves, at least in the case of fatigue damage at the nanoscale, a new research found.
