Momentary perceptions of time may stretch or shrink with each heartbeat and are not continuous, as previously thought.

Gestational iron deficiency (GID) affects the behavior of embryonic progenitor cells, resulting in the creation of sub-optimal networks of specialized neurons later in life.

Higher levels of inflammation linked to poorer survival rates are two to three times more likely in lung cancer patients with depression.

Historically in neuroscience research, male mice have been favored over female mice in experiments due to the belief that the female hormone cycle can cause behavioral variations that may skew results. Researchers now ar...

Chip-scale miniaturization of spectrometers allows rapid detection of spectral information in portable devices, opening up new applications. However, integrated spectrometers typically suffer from a trade-off between spe...

The National Science Foundation zooms in on the tattered scraps of SN 185, which appeared over our planet 1,800 years ago and was the first supernova ever recorded in Earth's skies.

Utilizing a classic neural network, researchers have created a new artificial intelligence model based on recent biological findings that shows improved memory performance.

A large study of infants shows that getting a covid-19 vaccination while pregnant can significantly reduce your child's infection risk two months after birth

The more a person is able to synchronize to a simple beat, the better they are at synchronizing their pupils with those of another person.

A recent study affiliated with UNIST has introduced an effective method of restoring images distorted by fog. According to the research team, their method can also provide a breakthrough by exploiting the random fluctuat...

In December, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory made headlines worldwide. Scientists at the NIF performed the first nuclear fusion experim...

Astronomers have detected enormous shockwaves rattling the cosmic web that connects all galaxies in the universe, offering vital clues on how the largest structures in space were shaped.

When researchers taught a bumblebee to push a lever for a reward, the knowledge spread through its colony, hinting that these insects have a kind of minimal culture

Cats have a reputation for being aloof and untamed, but recent studies suggest they may be more attuned to humans than we realise. These findings may make you see your cat in a new light

Intoxicated mice that had lost consciousness took half as long to wake up and get to their feet after being injected with the hormone FGF21, compared with their non-injected counterparts

US aerospace start-up Relativity Space is planning to launch its 3D-printed Terran 1 rocket on 8 March, skipping planned tests and heading straight for orbit

Using ultrafast time-resolved pump detection technology, researchers led by Prof. Sheng Zhigao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have realized the gigahertz (GHz) fr...

A new study has revealed that famous Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens was probably nearsighted, which explains why his telescopes weren't quite as good as his rivals'.

The human brain is a master of computation. It's no wonder that from brain-inspired algorithms to neuromorphic chips, scientists are borrowing the brain's playbook to give machines a boost. Yet the results--in both softw...

Ice skates made of bone have been unearthed from a Bronze Age tomb in western China, suggesting an ancient technological exchange between the east and west of Eurasia.

The quest to understand the small mass of neutrinos is also a quest to discover new particles. Neutrinos are the byproducts of astronomical events that give us life. They shoot out from the nuclear fusion reaction within...
