The international collaborative team of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) in Japan, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar) in India, and Osaka University in Japan has discovered for the firs...

Black holes can get big ... really big. But just how big? It's possible they could top out at over a trillion times more massive than the sun.

Sometimes time flies and sometimes it stands still. Tired brain cells may be why.

These changes exposes more surfaces to potentially target with therapeutics.

Researchers have deciphered two axes along which the human brain is organized. The axes are mainly determined by genetic factors.

SpaceX postponed the launch of a new fleet of Starlink internet satellites today (Sept. 28) due to bad weather at the mission's Florida launch site.

The south pole of Mars may be hiding a cold lake of liquid water surrounded by ponds, all buried 1400 metres beneath the planet's ice caps

Researchers have established a novel high-frequency laser facility at the University of Tokyo. The coherent extreme ultraviolet light source can reveal details of biological or physical samples with unprecedented clarity...

Efficiently simulating the noise generated by wings and propellers promises to accelerate the development of quieter aircraft and turbines.

The state's governor has issued a disaster declaration for the county where the deadly amoeba was found.

Many cells in our bodies are on the move and somehow seem to 'know' where to go. But how do they learn the location of their destination? This question is key to understanding phenomena such as the renewal of cells in ou...

Helium atom precision measurements and calculations have a history of nearly a century. In the 1960s, theorists discovered that the fine-structure split (23P0-23P2) of the 23P energy level of helium is the best atomic sy...

Even as toddlers we're good at inferences. Take a two-year-old that first learns to recognize a dog and a cat at home, then a horse and a sheep in a petting zoo. The kid will then also be able to tell apart a dog and a s...

A new study suggests COVID-19 may deplete testosterone levels in males. Findings reveal as testosterone decreased, the severity of coronavirus increased. Men who died from coronavirus infection had significantly lower me...

Area 32, a region of the anterior cingulate, balances activity from cognitive and emotional areas of the primate brain.

The latest coronavirus news updated every day including coronavirus cases, the latest news, features and interviews from New Scientist and essential information about the covid-19 pandemic

New research published in EPJ D has revealed how robust initial states can be prepared in quantum information systems, minimizing any unwanted transitions which lead to losses in quantum information.

A team of researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have succeeded in entangling two very different quantum objects. The result has several potential applications in ultra-precise sensing and qua...

An artist used machine learning to create photorealistic portraits of 54 ancient Roman emperors, working from nearly 1,000 images of busts.

In large systems of interacting particles in quantum mechanics, an intriguing phenomenon often emerges: groups of particles begin to behave like single particles. Physicists refer to such groups of particles as 'quasipar...

Scientists investigate free electrons and the resonant interactions of electromagnetic waves in the field of plasmonics. However, the discipline still remains to be extended to large-scale commercial applications due to ...

SpaceX will launch 60 Starlink satellites into orbit today (Sept. 28) and you can watch it live here.
