When enticed by the smell of buttered popcorn, food-deprived nematodes are more willing to cross a toxic copper barrier to reach the smell of a snack compared to their well-fed counterparts

Fossil seawater can be found in the depths of the aquifer.

Rice University photonics researchers have created a potentially disruptive technology for the ultraviolet optics market.

Consuming cannabis buds can help provide relief from symptoms of fatigue, a new study reports. Those who smoked cannabis cigarettes found greater symptom relief than those who consumed cannabis via a pipe or vaporizer.

While quantum computers represent a revolution in computation, they can't communicate with each other the way regular computers can--over the internet. If quantum computers could be connected through a quantum network, t...

Researchers have identified a blood biomarker that predicts the risk of suicide in patients with major depressive disorder. The biomarker also can help researchers understand the molecular changes in suicide victims.

A collaboration between Harvard University with scientists at QuEra Computing, MIT, University of Innsbruck and other institutions has demonstrated a breakthrough application of neutral-atom quantum processors to solve p...

The Canadian government is considering a measure that will make it illegal for Canadian astronauts to commit crimes in space.

Scientists develop micro-organospheric models to predict therapeutic response accurately and rapidly, enabling cutting-edge precision oncology.

Ice streams in Antarctica carry ice from the continent's centre to the ocean, and there appears to be a huge amount of water buried beneath one, which may affect its flow

To get closer to quantum technology we need to develop non-classical light sources that can emit a single photon at a time and do so on demand. Scientists at EPFL have now designed one of these "single photon emitters" t...

When it comes to treating heart attacks, U.S. hospitals may have the latest tech and low readmission rates, but the country's mortality rate is one of the highest among the nations included in a new study. The study foun...

Scar-like cells that make up a sizable portion of malignant pancreatic tumors and shield these cancers from immune attack are derived from mesothelial cells that line tissues and organs, a new study suggests. The finding...

A modified PRS increases predictive accuracy by integrating data from diverse populations.

A new study reports a 50 to 60 percent lower risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) among women who started endoscopy screening at age 45 compared to those who had not undergone screening at all.

In a study that followed hundreds of mice over their lifespans, calorie restriction combined with time-restricted eating boosted longevity.

Whether it's making rash decisions or feeling grumpy, hunger can make us think and act differently -- 'hangry,' even. But little is known about how hunger signals in the gut communicate with the brain to change behavior....

If you've got the cash to splash, there's no denying the sleek and powerful allure of the Peloton.

Scientists exploring the depths of Monterey Bay unexpectedly encountered a rare and unique species of dragonfish.

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances considers research on photonic crystal topological states beyond the optical diffraction limit.

Holding the right material at the right angle, Cornell researchers have discovered a strategy to switch the magnetization in thin layers of a ferromagnet--a technique that could eventually lead to the development of more...

A research team was able to generate polarized X-rays with unprecedented purity at the European XFEL in Hamburg. The experiments involved scientists from the Helmholtz Institute Jena, a branch of GSI, Friedrich Schiller ...
