(Institute for Basic Science) IBS research group in collaboration with the University of Science and Technology of China, has reported the discovery of small and ferroelectrically tunable skyrmions. Published in Nature M...

A paper published in 2017 appeared to show a limited quantum effect in bacteria. Now scientists argue that something much weirder happened.

As if stand-alone technologies weren't advancing fast enough, we're in age where we must study the intersection points of these technologies. How is what's happening in robotics influenced by what's happening in 3D print...

Researchers say adaptive optics enables direct imaging of neural tissue, which could lead to earlier detection of diseases that affect eye tissue.

According to researchers, those who live in colder regions with less daytime sun light drink more alcohol than those who live in warm areas. Climate, researchers say, may impact the prevalence of alcoholism and alcoholic...

Measuring and monitoring the circumference of a preterm baby's head could help to predict intelligence later in life and identify potential neurocognitive problems. Researchers report faster head growth is linked to high...

Radar surveys have revealed a crater left when a kilometre-wide asteroid hit Greenland - and the impact could explain a climate mystery

Researchers report abstract reasoning in old age may be used to predict depressive symptoms over an extended period of time. The study found a correlation between a decline in abstract reasoning and a worsening of depres...

A new mouse study reveals exercise may help curb drug addiction and buffer against relapse by altering the production of peptides in the brain.

A climate change denier is no longer to head House science committee, but Washington state voters reject carbon tax and Arizona blocks renewable energy boost

After years of searching, a planet several times larger than Earth has been discovered orbiting Barnard's star - the closest star to Earth after the Alpha Centauri system

Household heating systems are huge sources of carbon emissions, but many countries are showing how existing technologies can fix the problem

Tall buildings in Houston made hurricane Harvey dump more rain on the region, before the water ran straight off the city's hard surfaces causing epic flooding

Brazil President Michel Temer inaugurated the opening construction phase of a particle accelerator the size of the Maracana football stadium that will be used to make advances in medicine, nutrition, archeology, electron...

For those who find it difficult to exercise, taking a hot bath can help improve inflammation and glucose levels, a new study reports.

A new study uses real time MRI data to observe the vocal tracts of beatboxers before they produce a sound to see if the movements are different from speech.

Keeping weight off may be about more than just "calories in and calories out."

The common belief that we are better at remembering faces over names may not be true. Researchers report we are actually better at remembering a person's name than we are faces.

The expectation of pain, even when the stimulus isn't painful, can lead us to believe we are hurt, a new study reveals. Using fMRI neuroimaging, researchers report expectations influence how we perceive and process pain.

Miniaturized semiconductor devices with energy harvesting features have paved the way to wearable technologies and sensors. Although thermoelectric systems have attractive features in this context, the ability to maintai...

A research team from ITMO University and the Australian National University has discovered that different metasurfaces exhibit the same behavior provided a symmetry breaking is introduced to their unit cells "meta-atoms....

We are reaching the limits of silicon capabilities in terms of data storage density and speed of memory devices. One of the potential next-generation data storage elements is the magnetic skyrmion. A team at the Center f...
