A new breed of collider, called plasma wakefield accelerators, can study fundamental physics in new ways by doing something the Large Hadron Collider cannot do: colliding electrons

Small temperature increases while stimulating the brain can alter brain activity, sometimes with negative consequences.

While there is clear potential to use ChatGPT in a clinical setting, researchers say the AI algorithm may not yet be a reliable way of replacing the family doctor, especially when it comes to making effective decisions a...

Fertility declines with age in most female mammals, but naked mole rats can develop new eggs as adults, enabling them to remain fertile throughout their lives

An artificial intelligence can identify sites of Mesopotamian remains with 80 per cent accuracy - it could help archaeologists quickly work out where to dig

Quantum computers can currently only run small programs but a trick for reducing a quantum program's size could boost their power for running AI algorithms

A newly developed sensor tracks a person's vocal use and alerts them to overuse before vocal fatigue and potential injury occur.

While testing Mars rover sensors in the Atacama desert, researchers inadvertently found a variety of unclassifiable microorganisms called "the dark biome"

It is a cruel paradox that on a planet with a surface mostly covered by water, hundreds of millions of people don't have access to clean drinking water. As for the pollution of potable and natural water sources, one of t...

When two black holes collide into each other to form a new bigger black hole, they violently roil spacetime around them, sending ripples, called gravitational waves, outward in all directions. Previous studies of black h...

A new study investigating the unusual facedown burial of a woman from ancient Sardinia has revealed signs that she may have died from a fall during an epileptic seizure.

Death comes for us all. Aging, maybe not. It sounds preposterous, but plenty of animals--from the lowly jellyfish to naked mole rats and giant tortoises--show negligible signs of aging. Some animals are even "biologicall...
