The hair ball was more than a foot long and completely filled her stomach.

All the knowledge we have of these animals comes from a single video.

Disabling the CD161 pathway restores the T-cell's ability to attack gliomas and extends lifespan in animal models of brain cancer.

Preventative strategies against atherosclerosis during mid-life can help decrease dementia risks associated with aging.

Researchers and surgeons have devised a new type of amputation surgery that can help amputees better control their residual muscles and receive sensory feedback. This restored sense of proprioception should translate to ...

Loneliness, stress, and social isolation as a result of COVID-19 exacerbated and intensified visual hallucinations in blind people with Charles Bonnet Syndrome by 56%.

In the K2-290 planetary system, 897 light years away, two planets orbit a star in one direction while the star itself spins roughly the opposite way

Researchers observed hippocampal place cell changes in animal experiments of cue-poor and cue-rich spatial environments. The findings have implications for the treatment of brain disorders and the development of new AI t...

By capitalizing on a convergence of chemical, biological and artificial intelligence advances, scientists have developed an unusually fast and efficient method for discovering tiny antibody fragments with big potential f...

Materials having excess electrons are typically conductors. However, moiré patterns--interference patterns that typically arise when one object with a repetitive pattern is placed over another with a similar pattern--ca...

Researchers have found a way to use light and a single electron to communicate with a cloud of quantum bits and sense their behavior, making it possible to detect a single quantum bit in a dense cloud.

Unique electronic structures found at materials interfaces can allow unconventional quantum states to emerge. In a new report on Science, Changjiang Liu and a research team at the Argonne National Laboratory, University ...

Aspirin should be favoured over warfarin to prevent blood clotting in children who undergo a surgery that replumbs their hearts, according to a new study.

Researchers have developed a machine-learning approach to identify drugs that could be repurposed to fight COVID-19. The advance could boost clinical trial efforts, and it could be adapted to a broader range of diseases.

New research shows the average commuter in California is breathing unsustainably high levels of benzene and formaldehyde, two Prop. 65-listed, carcinogenic chemicals.

A team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania has found that it is possible to levitate very thin discs in conditions that mimic the mesosphere using laser light. In their paper published in the journal Science...

The observatory has made detailed information about an initial selection of its recorded cosmic-ray events available for outside scientists to use. In Argentina, far to the west of Buenos Aires, sits the world's largest ...
