After a weird event dubbed the Great Dimming in 2019, the plasma that makes up Betelgeuse is sloshing around inside the star, erasing pulsations that have been measured for centuries

Some researchers have seen an unusual effect where microscopic water drops turn into hydrogen peroxide after hitting a surface. A series of experiments is now getting closer to uncovering why it might happen

Newly discovered magnetic interactions in the Kagome layered topological magnet TbMn6Sn6 could be the key to customizing how electrons flow through these materials. Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Na...

DDT exposure causes sodium channels to remain open, leading to increased neural firing and an increased release of amyloid beta peptide. Blocking the channels with tetrodotoxin reduces the toxic amyloid protein by increa...

Converting skin cell samples into neurons helps researchers gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of Huntington's disease.

Consuming green vegetables and adding a daily chlorophyllin supplement helps alleviate symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease, researchers report. Additionally, chlorophyllin supplements help significantly reduce mortali...

A newly developed statistical method is able to disentangle signals relayed between brain areas, even when the communication between the brain areas is bidirectional.

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances addresses scientific and technical advances in the field of microchip imaging cytometry (MIC) and shows the applications of microchip imaging cytometry that may bring more ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances discusses how active odd-mode-metachannel can provide a new avenue to future single-conductor systems.

For many processes important for life such as cell division, cell migration, and the development of organs, the spatially and temporally correct formation of biological patterns is essential. To understand these processe...

Check out the Future Genius special dinosaur edition, now available on Amazon. Inside is full of fun facts, prehistoric puzzles, games, quizzes and much more. Future Genius is a video and augmented reality enabled magazi...

Researchers have succeeded in making photosynthesis more efficient in soybean plants, in a major breakthrough that will mean less forest has to be cut down to make way for farms

Researchers have created a 3D computer model of a megalodon shark based on fossilized teeth and vertebrae, giving us our best look yet at the ancient behemoths.

An international research team led by the University of Göttingen has, for the first time, observed the build-up of a physical phenomenon that plays a role in the conversion of sunlight into electrical energy in 2D mate...

In 2019, Google showed that its Sycamore quantum computer could solve a problem that no ordinary computer could handle - but now a new algorithm gives non-quantum devices the edge

A huge giant squid carcass cropped up in Cape Town.

Here are some tips for how to get pregnant successfully, including information on how to conceive if you have PCOS or endometriosis.

The population of polecats in Britain has recovered over the past century and it may be in part due to interbreeding with feral ferrets

An E. coli outbreak has sickened 29 people in the midwest.

Female mosquitoes that had their human-scent receptors blocked could still smell people. The finding suggests the insects have a more elaborate olfactory system than was previously known

Topological insulators, or TIs, have two faces: Electrons flow freely along their surface edges, like cars on a superhighway, but can't flow through the interior of the material at all. It takes a special set of conditio...
