The physics of the microrealm involves two famous and bizarre concepts: The first is that prior to observation, it is impossible to know with certainty the outcome of a measurement on a particle; rather the particle exis...

The final piece of an all-new detector has completed the first leg of its journey towards unlocking some of the most enduring mysteries of the universe.

Scientists have developed a low-cost microscopic imaging device small enough to fit on a smartphone camera lens, with the potential to make mobile medical diagnosis of diseases affordable and accessible.

The universe may stop expanding in just 100 million years if dark energy decays over time, a new study suggests.

Russia has confirmed it will pull out of the International Space Station (ISS), due to sanctions imposed over the Ukraine invasion.

Researchers found idiopathic autism occurs as the result of epigenetic abnormalities in hematopoietic cells during fetal development, leading to immune dysregulation in the brain and gut.

In states with bans on affirmative action programs, the proportion of students from underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups in U.S. public medical schools fell by more than one-third by five years after those ...

New research in mice raises the prospects for development of post-concussion therapies that could ward off cognitive decline and depression, two common conditions among people who have experienced a moderate traumatic br...

A brain organoid study reveals how a genetic mutation associated with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, a profound form of autism, disrupts neural development. Using gene-editing technology, researchers recovered the function of th...

Researchers reveal dopamine, a neurotransmitter commonly associated with reward plays a key role in social cognition and emotional recognition.

Facts about epilepsy, its symptoms, causes and treatment.

The mysterious burial of a woman and several arrowheads in northern France dating to roughly 6,500 years ago may reveal details about how women were regarded in that society, according to a new study.

A study of more than 200 square kilometres of reefs in the Hawaiian islands found that those further from pollution and coastal developments held up better after a 2019 marine heatwave

Infectious diseases such as malaria remain a leading cause of death in many regions. This is partly because people there don't have access to medical diagnostic tools that can detect these diseases (along with a range of...

Compact, CMOS compatible on-chip photon sources have attracted much attention to the scientific community and the semiconductor industry. As the transistor's feature size is continuously scaling down, the integration den...

Scientists have tested a technology to make temporary genetic modifications in mosquitoes. The modifications self-delete over time.

Scientists use lab-grown human brain tissue to identify neural abnormalities in Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome and show gene therapy tools can rescue neural structure and function.

Mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) is a unique regime with various potential applications in fingerprint detections. It is also one of three atmospheric transmission windows that shows significant possibilities in low-light-...

Researchers have reported a fundamentally new approach to the structural investigation of RNA molecules. ROCK, as it is called, uses an RNA nanotechnological technique that allows it to assemble multiple identical RNA mo...

Atrial fibrillation, the most common cardiac rhythm abnormality, has been linked to one-third of ischemic strokes, the most common type of stroke. But atrial fibrillation is underdiagnosed, partly because many patients a...

Researchers have shown that ablation therapy, often used to correct an abnormally beating heart, could be used to correct disorders of the stomach.
