Advances in science could make it possible to bring the dinosaurs back to life.

We have now detected gravitational waves from 47 pairs of black holes smashing together, and nearly a third of them may be strange primordial black holes

A new study reveals a link between vocal characteristics and individual personality traits. Those with deeper voices were more dominant, extroverted, and tended to rank higher in sociosexuality. Researchers found no diff...

A China zoo covered up this leopard's escape. And now, three weeks later, they have chickens and drones searching for it.

Inspired by techniques to train deep neural networks, researchers have proposed a new hypothesis of dreaming. The hypothesis suggests the strangeness of our dreams may help our brains better generalize our day-to-day exp...

A new micro-grid recording device allowed researchers to measure hippocampal activity in epileptic patients. They found brain waves travel back and forth across the brain structure, integrating messages from different ar...

Children aged between 7 and 9 who experience frequent abdominal pain are more likely to develop fasting habits and eating disorders to help control their weight by age 16.

Retinal scans can help researchers detect Alzheimer's disease and track its progression in those with the APOE4 genetic risk factor for the neurodegenerative disorder. The scans can detect blood vessel deterioration link...

For politically polarized people, their brain activity syncs up with like-minded people who share their political ideologies to perceive information in the same way. However, and regardless of political affiliation, thos...

A nasal swab, similar to those used in coronavirus testing, may be able to detect the first signs of Parkinson's disease by identifying misfolded proteins

Researchers have developed a unique pre-clinical model that enables the study of long-term HIV infection, and the testing of new therapies aimed at curing the disease.

A new study shows how engineered immune cells move faster to attack tumors.

Bacterial compounds could provide antimicrobial protection in undergarments shared by astronauts during spacewalks.

While plausible, this hypothesis still needs to be confirmed.

The ancient Greeks used mercenaries in a key battle, contrary to what the famed historian Herodotus said.

Tons of nuclear waste in the ruined basement of Chernobyl's Unit Four reactor are beginning to react again, and it could explode within years, scientists say.

More than a dozen condors have been paying daily visits to a home in Tehachapi, California (and destroying nearly everything in sight).

Assuming humans can also breathe with their intestines, the finding may have clinical applications.

Japanese researchers successfully tested reflectionless, highly refractive index metasurface that may eventually be used in practical applications to send, receive, and manipulate light and radio waves in the terahertz w...

The ability to visualize transparent objects such as biological cells is of fundamental importance in biology and medical diagnostics. Conventional approaches to achieve this include phase-contrast microscopy and techniq...

Piping an oxygen-rich liquid into a pig's rectum can boost their blood oxygen, a step towards doing the same thing in people as a treatment to restore lung function

People with depression have higher levels of inflammation in their bodies than those without, but it is unclear whether this link is purely genetic or also influenced by people's behaviour
