(ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science) Researchers have shown that high-intensity light will reverse light-induced phase segregation in mixed-halide perovskites, enabling bandgap control and maximising efficiency ...

Sex, age, and severity of disease may be useful in identifying COVID-19 survivors who are likely to have high levels of antibodies that can protect against the disease.

Researchers have succeeded in making superficial white matter visible in a living human brain.

The Polish-Israeli team from the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw and the Weizmann Institute of Science has made another significant achievement in fluorescent microscopy. In the pages of the Optica journal...

Brain regions associated with emotional processing are not functionally connected in a mature way to areas associated with auditory and visual processing in newborns.

Study implicates the PIEZO2 gene in experiencing the urge to urinate. The gene helps at least two cell types in the brain to identify when the bladder is full and needs emptying.

A rose-breasted grosbeak that was captured in a Pennsylvania nature reserve is a bilateral gynandromorph -- male on the right side and female on the left side.

Archaeologists have unearthed the rich burial of a sixth-century man thought to be an Anglo-Saxon warlord in southern England, after it was first discovered by metal detectorists.

How the brain represents and codes a pleasant outcome can have an impact on decision making.

A new study has shown that the serum metabolite profile can be used to identify individuals likely at risk of developing an alcohol-related disease in the future. The finding also opens up new avenues for preventing alco...

New satellite imagery of California reveals not just the extent of its wildfire damage, but the depth of the loss.

This highly compact beam forming network has been designed for multi-beam satellite payload antennas. Generating a total of 64 signal beams outputted from a single antenna, this novel design could cover the entire Earth ...

(The University of Hong Kong) An international joint research team including Dr Zi Yang MENG, Associate Professor of Department of Physics at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), has solved the puzzle of the NFL behaviour ...

The discovery of nearly 90 shark teeth, largely from young sharks, indicates there was a shark nursery here 24 million years ago.

A giant, catastrophic tsunami in Alaska triggered by a landslide of rock left unstable after glacier melting is likely to occur in the next two decades, scientists fear - and it could happen within the next 12 months.

Fear and anxiety share overlapping neural circuits. The findings contradict the popular belief that anxiety and fear are distinct emotions with different triggers and segregated brain circuits.

NASA's OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft will "TAG" asteroid Bennu Tuesday (Oct. 20) and collect a sample for return to Earth.

Weight loss isn't simply a matter of willpower, it's actually connected to basic visual and olfactory cues.

The plastic bottles used to feed babies shed an average of 4 million microplastic particles per litre into infant formula, but the impact on child health is unclear

Superconductivity could be the key to groundbreaking new technologies in energy, computing, and transportation, but so far it only occurs in materials chilled close to absolute zero. Now researchers have created the firs...

Scientists have known about these 'blobs of fat' for more than 130 years, but they're just understanding all the roles they play in the body.
