Repeat concussions thicken the structure of skull bones. Researchers theorize the thickening of the skull may occur as the body attempts to better protect the brain from subsequent damage.

A new image using data collected by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope shows off one of the most perfect "Einstein rings" ever captured.

Researchers have uncovered the molecular mechanisms behind cognitive deficits and brain fog associated with chemotherapy, and identified a current FDA-approved drug for multiple sclerosis that can help reduce chemotherap...

Study reveals a novel mechanism in locus coeruleus neurons caused by the loss of the GPT2 mitochondrial enzyme that is implicated in the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Particle colliders use a huge amount of energy, so physicists are evaluating proposed successors to the Large Hadron Collider to optimise efficiency and reduce their climate impact

Exposure to air pollution within the first 6 months of life alters a child's microbiome, increasing the risk for allergies, diabetes, obesity, and influencing brain development.

Hopes for water and energy bill savings from new efficiency labels for toilets, taps, showers, dishwashers, washing machines and washer-dryers

Epigenetic traces of childhood trauma can be used as biomarkers to predict the risk of addiction, depression, and a range of other physical and mental health issues 17 years later.

Researchers created a molecular atlas of the bearded dragon's brain and compared it to the mouse brain. Findings reveal, contrary to popular belief, mammalian brains consist of an ancient reptilian brain supplemented wit...

A new study sheds light on why humans often use hand movements while talking. Researchers report rhythmic hand gestures affect rib cage movements, leading to a change in lung volume and ultimately aspects of the voice. I...

Circadian rhythm disruption is a psychopathological factor shared by a broad range of mental illnesses.

An ingenious approach toward developing low-power, high-speed, and high-density memory devices is based on spintronics, an emerging frontier in technology that harnesses a degree of freedom of electrons known as spin. Pu...

A penguin with bumblefoot improved his waddle with new orthopedic boots.

The James Webb Space Telescope captured mysterious concentric rings around a distant star that astronomers are still working to explain.

People are buying up firewood and installing wood-burning stoves to heat their homes to reduce the impact of the hike in UK energy prices

We tested out the Oclean W10 Water Flosser. Here's everything you need to know, from design to performance

The remains of 17 people, mainly children, found in 2004 during a construction project in an English city are probably those of medieval Jews massacred for their religion, according to a new study.

Brown dwarfs are too massive to be a planet but not large enough to be a star, giving them features of both. Now, astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found clouds on one of these cosmic objects

Linear analysis plays a central role in science and engineering. Even when dealing with nonlinear systems, understanding the linear response is often crucial for gaining insight into the underlying complex dynamics. In r...

Three people have died this week due to a pneumonia outbreak of unknown origin in the Tucumán province of northwestern Argentina

Integrating plasmonic metasurfaces on optical fiber tips forming so-called metafibers enriches the functionalities of an ordinary optical fiber, yielding a variety of advanced applications such as planar waveshaping, sup...
