Female vampire bats tend to hang out in groups - but unlike many group-living primates or birds, the colony members groom and share food equally

Methamphetamines and other drugs can enter freshwater rivers through wastewater, and lab tests show trout can become addicted, changing their behaviour by reducing their activity levels

People who receive mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are up to 91 percent less likely to develop the disease than those who are unvaccinated, according to a new nationwide study. For those few vaccinated people who do still get an ...

People's recollections of events are wrong approximately 36% of the time, especially if the events are similar.

It takes slightly longer to include information about healthy foods in the process of choosing between the taste and healthiness of a snack.

Researchers set forth a new summary of the forms gender bias can take and propose a new checklist to remedy the problems they discovered.

Very recently, researchers led by Markus Aspelmeyer at the University of Vienna and Lukas Novotny at ETH Zurich cooled a glass nanoparticle into the quantum regime for the first time. To do this, the particle is deprived...

In a new study, researchers used electroencephalography to better understand and work toward solutions for virtual reality-induced discomfort.

A modified ketogenic diet may be worth exploring for people with brain tumors, according to a new study. The small study found that the diet was safe and feasible for people with brain tumors called astrocytomas. The stu...

Researchers have announced an accidentally discovered, potentially game-changing treatment -- one that may one day provide an alternative immune-based solution to the danger of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.

Use of a new preparedness tool can help hospitals determine their ability to respond to unexpected surges due to mass shootings, terrorist attacks, or future pandemics.

Longer reproductive periods in women with an increased duration of endogenous estrogen were linked to higher levels of Alzheimer's biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid.

Weekly musical dance classes can help to improve daily living and motor functions in those with mild-to-moderate Parkinson's disease.

An invasive species is a type of animal, plant, fungus or any other living thing that has arrived in a new environment and can harm other species there.

Miniaturization is rapidly reshaping the field of biochemistry, with emerging technologies such as microfluidics and "lab-on-a-chip" devices taking the world by storm. Chemical reactions that were normally conducted in f...

Thousands of medieval Islamic tombs in eastern Sudan were arranged in hard-to-detect patterns, with sacred "parent" tombs hosting subclusters of emanating burials.

Scientists develop a method to better manipulate tiny droplets in lab-on-a-chip applications for biochemistry, cell culturing, and drug screening.

The research sought to uncover the relationship between temperament and eating behaviors in early childhood. The findings are critical because faster eating and greater responsiveness to food cues have been linked to obe...

A metabolic control pathway that regulates T follicular helper cells offers targets for drugs to stimulate the adaptive immune response.

A research team presents a new process that uses computational imaging to get high resolution images at a rate 100 to 1,000 times faster than other state-of-the-art technologies that use complex algorithms and machine le...

A team of researchers has developed a modified version of two-photon imaging that can scan deeper within tissue and perform the imaging much faster than previously possible.

To create high-resolution, 3D images of tissues such as the brain, researchers often use two-photon microscopy, which involves aiming a high-intensity laser at the specimen to induce fluorescence excitation. However, sca...
