Intensity is rising at CERN. In the superconducting equipment testing hall, an innovative transmission line has set a new record for the transport of electricity. The link, which is 60 meters long, has transported a tota...

It started with a blast.

Wild boar jaws found in this man's Stone Age grave inspired his recreated clothing and haircut.

Bottlenose dolphins chase fish into shells, lift the shells to the surface and shake them so the fish fall into their mouths - and they pass this trick along to their friends

'Squeezing' is used in physics, among other things, to improve the resolution of measuring instruments. It allows disturbing noise to be suppressed in a way that smaller signals can be detected more sensitively. The team...

The detection of particles produced in the sun’s core supports long-held theory about how our star is powered --

When two black holes spiral around each other and ultimately collide, they send out ripples in space and time called gravitational waves. Because black holes do not give off light, these events are not expected to shine ...

A team of researchers working on the Borexino project has announced that they have observed carbon/nitrogen/oxygen (CNO) fusion neutrinos from the sun for the first time. Co-spokesman for the group, Gioacchino Ranucci, a...

Black, Asian and ethnic minority scientists in the UK are almost half as likely to be awarded funding to research environmental science than their white peers

The nation’s Micius satellite successfully established an ultrasecure link between two ground stations separated by more than 1,000 kilometers --

In a critical step toward creating a global quantum communications network, researchers have generated and detected quantum entanglement onboard a CubeSat nanosatellite weighing less than 2.6 kilograms and orbiting the E...

One way that scientists seek to bring to Earth the fusion process that powers the sun and stars is trapping hot, charged plasma gas within a twisting magnetic coil device shaped like a breakfast cruller. But the device, ...

NASA combined 10 years of solar observations into a single, gorgeous time-lapse video.

Lung inflammation and blood clots caused by covid-19 can lead to scarring and long-term breathlessness and coughing in some people, for which there is no treatment

New evidence suggests that lizard and snake bones were common in sites linked to ancient Natufian culture because these animals were being eaten.

However, pregnant women don't appear to be at increased risk of death from the disease.

A star just 11 light years away is calm enough that we may be able to study the atmospheres of three planets that seem to orbit it - one of which could be in the star's habitable zone

Study identifies a different set of individual neurons in the medial frontal cortex that is responsible for memory-based decision making. The findings have implications for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, schizophr...

A 9500-year-old dog discovered on a remote island off Siberia is remarkably similar to living sled dogs in Greenland, suggesting that people have been breeding these working animals for millennia

Golden retrievers typically live between 10 and 12 years.

People are turning to quarantine bubbles as a way to see friends and family while limiting the risk from the coronavirus. Research shows that this can work, but it's not easy to be in a quaranteam.

Scientists used Venus to measure neutrons’ lifetime, offering hope for an answer to a decades-old mystery --
