A team of researchers working at the University of Uppsala in Sweden has discovered a novel way to measure time. They published their work in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Archaeologists in Sweden excavating a Viking grave field have uncovered two burials containing swords standing upright.

The James Webb Space Telescope has cast its eye on one of the oldest known galaxies, formed just 400 million years after the big bang, and it might be two galaxies merging

Researchers reveal how night owls can turn themselves into early rising early birds.

A new map of the octopus visual system classifies different types of neurons in a part of the brain dedicated to vision, shedding new light on the evolution of the brain and visual systems in a more broad sense.

Those who feel they lack personal control over their lives tend to prefer a culture that imposes order. In turn, these "tighter" cultures perpetuate their existence by reducing a person's sense of individual control and ...

A new brain map charts the way sensory information is routed between olfactory-processing areas of the brain.

Using DNA evidence, forensic scientists created a facial reconstruction of a "vampire" who lived during the 18th century.

The same facial expression can mean different things to different people.

SGDGs, a class of lipids that decline in the brain during aging, appear to have anti-inflammatory effects that could have implications for neurodegenerative disorders.

Two neutron stars smashing together may produce a form of matter not seen before. If that happens, simulations suggest there would be a signal in gravitational waves resulting from the collision

The Garmin Venu Sq 2 is one of the brand's most affordable fitness trackers with a real smartwatch-style gloss. We put it to the test

Don't miss this early Black Friday deal -- the smartmi HEPA Air Purifier is now $110 cheaper on Amazon

Bizarre quantum properties of black holes--including their mind-bending ability to have different masses simultaneously--have been confirmed by University of Queensland physicists.

Cosmologist Laura Mersini-Houghton says our universe is one of many - and she argues that we have already seen signs of those other universes in the cosmic microwave background, the light left over from the big bang

One of the brightest stars we see in the night sky has lost its outer layers of gas and now it is just a rare, stripped-back core

A team of quantum physicists from Innsbruck, Austria, led by three-time ERC laureate Francesca Ferlaino has established a new method to observe vortices in dipolar quantum gases. These quantum vortices are considered a s...

In a city in Brazil, male mosquitoes were released that expressed a gene that meant their female offspring, which bite and transmit infections, couldn't survive

Quantum theory predicts the existence of so-called tripartite-entangled states, in which three quantum particles are related in a way that has no counterpart in classical physics. Theoretical physicists would like to und...

A zoomed-in photo of an ant is giving the internet the chills.

A magnitude 4 marsquake that rocked the Red Planet in 2021 is the result of a massive meteor impact, two new studies revealed.

The wreck of a 17th-century Swedish warship -- a sister ship of the famous Vasa, which sank only an hour into its maiden voyage in 1628 -- has been discovered near Stockholm.
