Study reveals dopamine neurons that play a role in learning and memory also drive motivation.

A new study reports long-term cognitive problems that occur following COVID-19 infection may be a result of fatigue rather than pathological alterations in the brain.

New findings contradict the existing thought that Alzheimer's starts from a single point in the brain and causes a chain reaction that leads to cell death. Instead, a new study reports, Alzheimer's disease reaches differ...

The category G3 storm will hit Earth on COt. 30 and 31, potentially causing satellite navigation problems and driving auroras as far south as Washington state.

COVID vaccines are five times more effective at preventing COVID-related hospitalization than prior infection alone, according to new research. The study was conducted by CDC's VISION Network which gathered data from mor...

For the first time, researchers have used human data to quantify the speed of different processes that lead to Alzheimer's disease and found that it develops in a very different way than previously thought. Their results...

Covid-19 vaccines in use today have to be stored at cold temperatures, but a patch covered in tiny plastic spikes coated in a vaccine could provide an alternative

Robust and reliable, the Concept2 RowErg (formerly called the Concept2 Model D) deserves its reputation as one of the world's most popular rowing machines

Infants are able to identify individual words in continuous speech, even if they can't understand them - and now it seems dogs can as well

Scientists at SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research are developing a detection technique (TES) that measures the energy of individual photons, for example in X-rays from the distant universe. Until now, it was as...

Quantum physicists are reporting an international achievement for Denmark in the field of quantum technology. By simultaneously operating multiple spin qubits on the same quantum chip, they surmounted a key obstacle on t...

The relatively narrow human birth canal presumably evolved as a 'compromise' between its abilities for parturition, support of the inner organs, and upright walking. But not only the size of the birth canal, also its com...

An ultrabright, ultrafast explosion called the Camel lit up the sky for a month in 2020. Astronomers think it might have been the birth of a black hole or neutron star.

Genetic analysis recently showed that California condors can reproduce asexually.

For the first time, researchers at D-BAUG have measured air-water flows with velocities exceeding 40 m/s. To this end, two challenging measurement campaigns were carried out in the tunnel spillway of a 225 m high dam, fo...

Quantum physicists at the University of Copenhagen are reporting an international achievement for Denmark in the field of quantum technology. By simultaneously operating multiple spin qubits on the same quantum chip, the...

The light-matter interaction has long been one of the most advanced areas in physics. Recently, it has attracted more attentions due to the rapid development of ultra-short lasers, and a variety of ultra-fast phenomena h...

It's a triple treat. By sifting through data from particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has seen not one, not two but three J/ψ particles emerging from a single collision between ...

Visible light is extremely important in nature. Seen by the human eye, it is the most intense light emitted by the sun to reach the earth's surface and is an essential element for fundamental biological processes underly...
