Why does the observable universe contain virtually no antimatter? Particles of antimatter have the same mass but opposite electrical charge of their matter counterparts. Very small amounts of antimatter can be created in...

Study finds an association between resting state network connectivity abnormalities in those with major depressive disorder who experienced childhood trauma.

Eating garlic containing allyl sulfide may promote memory consolidation and improve cognition by restoring essential gut bacteria.

The findings of an EEG study on two-month-old babies reveals the impact of maternal stress on early neurodevelopment.

Teens who use anabolic steroids are at increased risk of cocaine use disorder, researchers report.

Dangerous airborne viruses are rendered harmless on-the-fly when exposed to energetic, charged fragments of air molecules, University of Michigan researchers have shown.

For decades, physicists have wrestled with understanding the thermodynamic cost of manipulating information, what we would now call computing. How much energy does it take, for example, to erase a single bit from a compu...

The amount of physical activity children participate in starts to decline at age seven. The study reveals four-fifths of adolescents, and one-third of adults do not meet recommendations of physical activity.

A shared brain network may explain why high alcohol consumption and junk food cravings go hand in hand.

Neuroimaging reveals those who have spent more years studying have increased cortical thickness in the medial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal areas of the brain. Researchers also identified enhanc...

A new model sheds light on the evolutionary origins of empathy and other associated phenomena. The model explains observed patterns of emotional cognition between social group members.

CGRP, a protein associated with migraine pain, appears to act differently between sexes. Researchers say a female-specific mechanism of downstream CGRP receptor activation is likely to contribute to the higher prevalence...

18% of new patients treated at two Los Angeles hospitals for multiple sclerosis were misdiagnosed with the autoimmune disease. The misdiagnosed patients were often treated unnecessarily with medications designed for MS. ...

Clouds of rocks and gas known as pyroclastic flows spew out of volcanoes and race over land at terrifying speeds, skating on an air pocket beneath the rubble

AI can find farms from space. The technique is being used to monitor some farms in Europe and may eventually be able to flag those that break the law

A short session of brain zapping can reverse some of the effects of aging in older adults, a new study suggests.

'Alien' lights in Norway were a NASA mission, not an extraterrestrial visit.

Rare and genetic conditions can show up in children's faces - a 3D face mapping tool could help diagnose them more quickly

This unusual condition went undetected during the woman's lifetime.

Convergence is accelerating disruption. Exponential technologies are colliding into each other, reinventing products, services, and industries. Over the course of my next five blogs, I'm going to summarize key insights f...

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, Stony Brook University, and DOE's Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) are collaborating on an experiment that puts U.S. quantum networking resea...

Three teams of researchers working independently of one another have shown that certain dipolar quantum gases are able to support a state of supersolid properties. A team led by Giovanni Modugno of the University of Flor...
