Researchers explore why revenge may feel good in the moment, but often results in mixed emotions later.

The remnants of the Lyme causing B. burgdorferi bacteria may be responsible for the neuroinflammation associated with long-term Lyme disease symptoms. Researchers say the remnants are more inflammatory than the live bact...

An influenza vaccine administered through the nose and constructed with nanoparticles that enhance immune response offers strong protection against different influenza virus strains, according to researchers.

A pioneering professor of surgery whose groundbreaking research led to the reclassification of an organ has published new evidence detailing the fundamental order of the abdomen. He has detailed the development and struc...

A protein that masterminds the way DNA is wrapped within chromosomes has a major role in the healthy functioning of blood stem cells, which produce all blood cells in the body, according to a new study.

Blood tests may enable more accurate diagnosis of ALS at an earlier stage of the disease. As described in a recent study, it involves measuring the blood level of a substance that, as they have also shown, varies in conc...

It has long been known that lactic acid is produced in large quantities by cancer cells and that this lactic acid disrupts our defense against tumors. However, scientists did not know exactly how this happens. Now resear...

Patients with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU) prescribed full-dose blood thinners are significantly more likely to experience heavy bleeding than patients prescribed a smaller yet equally effective dose, accord...

An international team of researchers has discovered that a cell type in the central nervous system known as oligodendrocytes might have a different role in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) than previously thoug...

A research team has developed a material made of natural proteins that contracts autonomously.

Humans experience the world in three dimensions, but a collaboration in Japan has developed a way to create synthetic dimensions to better understand the fundamental laws of the universe and possibly apply them to advanc...

A joint research team from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and the University of Tokyo discovered an unusual topological aspect of sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, which will not ...

Drilling with the beam of an electron microscope, scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory precisely machined tiny electrically conductive cubes that can interact with light and organized th...

Trapped ions excited with a laser beam can be used to create entangled qubits in quantum information systems, but addressing several stationary pairs of ions in a trap requires multiple optical switches and complex contr...

Quantum mechanical predictions challenge intuitive human thinking developed through the way that we experience the everyday world around us.

In recent years, scientists have been able to transmit light through opaque surfaces, such as white paint or human tissue, which had once been considered impossible. However, a technique for controlled light delivery to ...

The BA.2 variant of omicron seems to be taking over in many places, but it isn't expected to cause yet another wave of cases around the world

Researchers have known about high-temperature superconducting copper-based materials, or cuprates, since the 1980s. Below a certain temperature (approximately -130 degree Celsius), electrical resistance vanishes from the...

A study has revealed a potential new way to treat secondary breast cancer that has spread to the brain, using existing drugs.

A new study helps to explain what defines how long a drug molecule stays bound to its target.

A new study has determined the post-mortem interval of human skeletal remains using real samples, which has been made possible by the combination of two non-destructive analytical tools: Raman spectroscopy and chemometri...

Drinking less than the UK's recommended limit of 14 units of alcohol per week still increases the risk of cardiovascular issues such as heart and cerebrovascular disease.
