Researchers have developed a novel hybrid machine learning approach to muscle gesture recognition in prosthetic arms.

Researchers identified hundreds of new genomic loci that help explain how the brain is shaped.

Recent studies have found a link between P. gingivalis, bacteria that plays a significant role in periodontal disease, and an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. A new study reports SCPPPQ1, a protein expressed in the...

Ancient trees, some close to 1,000 years old, may have a big impact on the forests where they grow.

In order to represent an exact quantity higher than four, people need to have words for those numbers.

Can you crumple up two sheets of paper the exact same way? Probably not--the very flexibility that lets flexible structures from paper to biopolymers and membranes undergo many types of large deformations makes them noto...

Pandemic associated risk factors for anxiety differ between men and women, researchers say. Higher anxiety in males was associated with COVID misinformation, while women's anxiety was more commonly associated with concer...
