Study underscores the importance of healthy sleep to prevent the Alzheimer's related amyloid-beta 42 protein from forming clumps in the brain.

Researchers have identified a brain region and neural circuitry that mediates satiation.

A novel wearable magnetic metamaterial could help make MRI imaging faster, cheaper, and crisper.

Astronomers have found 65 evenly spaced rocks orbiting a white dwarf star in its habitable zone, hinting that a planet's gravity may be holding them there

Neurexin1 deletion impacts insulin signaling and glucose metabolism in the prefrontal cortex. Researchers say increasing insulin signaling may be an effective therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ASD.

A new study shows how two subsets of one type of immune cell -- the CD8 T cell -- develop to provide either short-term or long-term immune protection. The study focuses on one factor that guides that developmental bifurc...

A study found people who cycled on a stationary bike or took a brisk walk for an hour-and-a-half after getting a flu shot or COVID-19 jab produced more antibodies in the following four weeks compared to participants who ...

Researchers may have found an explanation in a new study that suggests that circuitry in the brain responsible for motivation and pleasure is impacted when someone experiences pain.

A new study shows that immunity against severe COVID-19 disease begins to wane 4 months after receipt of the third dose of an mRNA vaccine. Waning immunity was observed during both the Delta and Omicron variant waves in ...

In this hands-on review of the Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar watch, we break down the new features and test out the gadget's accuracy.

The team behind NASA's James Webb Space Telescope released some of the first images from the much-anticipated observatory on Friday (Feb. 11).

The stunning images show scorching hot continents, plains and plateaus

The global supply chain is currently experiencing all kinds of glitches, from material shortages to labor shortages and beyond. Moving goods from point A to point B has become more expensive, and there's no quick fix in ...
