Inexplicablelab results may be telling us we’re on the cusp of a new scientific paradigm --

Researchers have developed a new way to improve our knowledge of the Big Bang by measuring radiation from its afterglow, called the cosmic microwave background radiation. The new results predict the maximum bandwidth of ...

(Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona)) According to a recent study published by researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and CIBERDEM in Nature Cell Biology, deficiency in...

Two and a half years ago, a team of researchers led by groups at MIT, the University of California at Berkeley, and Boston University announced a milestone: the fabrication of a working microprocessor, built using only e...

After months of debate, Trump's pick to head NASA has now been confirmed. This ends the space agency's longest-ever period without permanent leadership

Using optogenetics, researchers have identified a causal association between dopamine and avoidance behavior linked to pain and fear.

Most solar cells are limited by how much energy their electrons can absorb. Denting their materials could help them harvest more electricity and breeze past that limit

Diamonds may be tough, but they can also be surprisingly flexible. A team of researchers grew diamond nanoneedles that bent and then sprang back upright

Most plants were expected to grow more as CO2 levels rise, but a 20-year experiment suggests that the extra CO2 is somehow stunting plant growth, which could make climate change worse

Researchers have developed a deep neural network that can replicate the way in which humans process and categorize sounds.

Diamond is well-known as the strongest of all natural materials, and with that strength comes another tightly linked property: brittleness. But now, an international team of researchers from MIT, Hong Kong, Singapore, an...

Physicists at the University of Warwick have today, Thursday 19th April 2018, published new research in the fournal Science today 19th April 2018 (via the Journal's First Release pages) that could literally squeeze more ...

Our window into the cellular world just got a whole lot clearer.

A new study reveals veterans who suffered a concussion are at a 56% increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease.

Male insects have been genetically engineered to climax on command, and it seems they get a real buzz out of it - perhaps even a fly orgasm

In past negotiations aimed at reducing the arsenals of the world's nuclear superpowers, chiefly the U.S. and Russia, a major sticking point has been the verification process: How do you prove that real bombs and nuclear ...

Quinoa, a plant from the Andes, is packed with protein, fiber and various vitamins and minerals.

About 5,000 years ago, humans used crude stone tools to puncture a hole in a cow's head, making it the earliest known instance of skull surgery in an animal.

Some of the last great wildernesses are being considered as likely candidates for geoengineering. It's a sad reflection of climate failings, says Olive Heffernan

So refreshing. But is it hydrating?

The deadly quiet, superfast U-boat was sunk by an Allied aerial assault on May 6, 1945.

A new robotics system has succeeded where so many humans fail; in autonomously assembling an IKEA chair without interruption.
