Aerosols are tiny particles that can have a significant impact on Earth's climate and human health.

An artificial intelligence picked up on audio samples where the speaker said they were infected with the coronavirus while omicron was dominant with 80 per cent accuracy, potentially offering an inexpensive way of tracki...

A feature of server motherboards intended to allow remote updates can be abused to trick the machines into damaging themselves beyond repair

It's not at every university that laser pulses powerful enough to burn paper and skin are sent blazing down a hallway. But that's what happened in UMD's Energy Research Facility, an unremarkable looking building on the n...

A circadian rhythm refers to a person's sleep-wake pattern over 24 hours.

Combining neuroimaging and EEG data, researchers recorded the neural activity of people while listening to a piece of music. Using machine learning technology, the data was translated to reconstruct and identify the spec...

Uridine, a precursor of RNA, increases hunger when ingested, a new study reports. The findings offer hope for the development of new therapies to help treat those suffering from eating disorders.

A newly developed biosensor that detects TNF alpha in the body could be used to screen for Alzheimer's and other diseases.

Researchers identified a small molecule capable of stimulating nerve regeneration and restoring vision following injury to the optic nerve.

We can frequently find in our daily lives a localized wave structure that maintains its shape upon propagation--picture a smoke ring flying in the air. Similar stable structures have been studied in various research fiel...

A new study has revealed that red junglefowl, the wild ancestors of chickens, are losing their genetic diversity as they mate with their domesticated counterparts.

The autism-associated TOP2B H58Y genetic mutation was significantly less mobile than the TOP2B WT mutation. Researchers say TOP2B H58Y's retrained movement is mediated by ATPase activity.

As opioid-related deaths continue to rise in the US, researchers are prohibited from studying the very substances that could provide antidotes to overdose, says chemist Gregory Dudley

Early life made an inhospitable Earth more habitable, and aliens could be doing the same thing on their worlds, new research proposes.

From weight loss to digestive health, could savoring every mouthful have a positive impact on wellbeing?

The discovery of a tightly packed nesting ground from the Cretaceous period in India suggests that titanosaurs laid eggs and left their offspring behind.

Researchers found significant functional connectivity between multiple sclerosis lesion location and the patient's a priori depression circuit. Findings provide a novel localization of multiple sclerosis-related depressi...

Many planets that have the right temperatures for liquid water on their surfaces used to be too hot or too cold, which may affect their ability to host life now

When learning new vocabulary, repeating words can have a negative effect on learning. Silently listening to the words or pausing between hearing and producing the new word helps to better consolidate language learning.

Surgeons reattached a woman's scalp by meticulously stitching the skin and blood vessels back together after her hair was caught in a column drill and torn off

Neural networks play a key role in regulating circadian rhythms through the mediation of cAMP. The findings may help with developing new strategies to manage circadian rhythm problems such as sleep disorders.
