A new study is set to discover precisely which aspects of social behavior androgens regulate and how they do it.

Ignition is a key process that amplifies the energy output from nuclear fusion and could provide clean energy and answer some huge physics questions.

The authors created a simple mathematical model to simulate the movement of particles during hand washing.

It's the dog days of summer. You bite down on a plump, chilled orange. Citrus juice explodes in your mouth in a refreshing, tingling burst. Ahh. And congratulations--you've just been vaccinated for the latest virus. That...

Production of hydrogen from fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage has been given the UK government's backing, despite concerns that the technology does not capture all CO2 emissions, remains unproven commercially ...

Diet and exercise can influence hippocampal neurogenesis, researchers say. Poor nutrition and lack of exercise have detrimental effects on hippocampal neurogenesis, increasing the risk for dementia.

Widespread pain, a subset of chronic pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders, is linked to an increased risk of all types of dementias, including Alzheimer's disease, and a greater risk of stroke.

Study reaffirms findings that the gut microbiome may play a significant role in cognitive decline. Researchers found, in mice, a ketogenic diet, hypoxia, and the Bilophila wadsworthia bacteria impaired the hippocampus, l...

A new study adds to the growing body of research linking inflammation to depression. Researchers found the molecule histamine directly inhibits the release of serotonin in the brain by attaching to inhibitory receptors o...

The partially mummified remains of an urbane Pompeii resident have been discovered in a tomb outside the city center.

Tetanus, also called lockjaw, is caused by bacteria found on rusty metals and many other surfaces.

The immense lasers at the US National Ignition Facility have created the highest-pressure conditions ever made in a laboratory, bringing us a step closer to clean nuclear power

Crowds that descended upon an Afghanistan airport were so massive that they showed up in satellite photos taken from space.

Researchers are set to break the world record for the most precise value of pi, after using an advanced computer to calculate the famous constant to 68.2 trillion decimal places.

For decades, there has been an accepted definition of dieting in academia, and in society as a whole. Researchers recently reevaluated the decades of dieting research to redefine the way researchers and the public define...

Researchers have found that the delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 is largely unable to evade antibodies elicited by vaccination. The findings help explain why vaccinated people have been at low risk of gett...

A previously healthy infant who suffered aborted sudden cardiac death was found to have a de novo genetic mutation in the SOS1 gene. Such mutations are typical of Noonan syndrome and suggests the syndrome may be a cause ...

Scientists have designed a 3D-bioprinted model of a blood vessel that mimics its state of health and disease, thus paving the way for possible cardiovascular drug advancements with better precision.

Recent research has found that changes in the gut microbiota -- the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that live in the intestines -- can alter the brain and behavior. A new study could elucidate how and why that p...

New research suggests that officials should prioritize contact tracing and quarantine.

Scientists have developed a novel strategy using brain-wide genome-editing technology that can reduce Alzheimer's disease(AD) pathologies in genetically modified AD mouse models. This advanced technology offers immense p...
