The James Webb Space Telescope has made the first clear detection of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a distant world, and there is also an unexpected bump in the data

People judge others they consider attractive to be high in positive personality traits and low in potentially negative personality traits.

Consuming high amounts of highly processed foods can impact mental health, increasing the risk of anxiety and depression.

Researchers report exposure to hot, humid weather can trigger mental health symptoms that require emergency care.

Study reveals how the element of surprise helps facilitate learning and memory retrieval.

Images of food stimulate a newly discovered population of food-responsive neurons in the ventral visual stream. Researchers believe there may be an evolutionary reason for this neural population that may reflect the sign...

Half the planet's wetlands are dried out or degraded, and rewetting them could limit more greenhouse gas emissions this century than restoring global forests

The anterior cingulate cortex gyrus plays a critical role in our decision to put physical effort into helping out other people.

A giant mosasaur species called Thalassotitan atrox had teeth like a killer whale and ruled the oceans around Morocco towards the end of the Cretaceous period.

A genetic analysis suggests that petroleum-eating bacteria that live thousands of metres beneath the seafloor seep out into the ocean where they may then float along currents

Physicists from TU Delft, ETH Zürich and the University of Tübingen have built a quantum scale heat pump made from particles of light. This device brings scientists closer to the quantum limit of measuring radio freque...

NASA is sending its colossal Space Launch System into space for the first time on 29 August for the Artemis I mission around the moon. Watch the launch coverage here

While having their own unique areas of expertise and resources, the NQISRCs are all aligned to the same mission--the advancement of quantum information science.

That post-lunch slump is all too familiar, so we asked an expert: Why do I feel sleepy after eating?

As the size of modern technology shrinks down to the nanoscale, weird quantum effects--such as quantum tunneling, superposition, and entanglement--become prominent. This opens the door to a new era of quantum technologie...

Scientists recruited 32 look-alike pairs and discovered that doppelgängers share more than just appearances.

Sediment cores from the LSU Mounds reveal thousands of years of buildup of clay, ash from burning plants and animal remains.

Media with small permittivity, i.e., the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) media, have drawn a great deal of attention from the fields of physics, materials science, and engineering. The wavelength in ENZ medium is in principle in...

Grass lawns and hiking trails are no problem for this robot, which learned to walk on them on the fly thanks to a machine learning algorithm

A start-up has developed data centre pods that can be submerged in the ocean to let the water naturally keep them cool. Cooling is normally very energy-intensive
