A bizarre mode of reproduction discovered in yellow crazy ants results in males that have two separate sets of DNA in different parts of their body

Powerful bursts of radiation called fast radio bursts could be launched when neutron stars collide and merge, gravitational wave detections indicate.

Researchers present a new system that uses photons instead of chemical neurotransmitters to control neural activity.

Deep brain stimulation of newborn hippocampal neurons restored both cognitive and non-cognitive function in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected the four oldest galaxies in the known universe, which are forming stars much faster than thought possible.

Researchers found a way to assess consciousness without external stimulation, using a little-used approach where volunteers squeeze a force sensor with their hand when they breathe in and release it when they breathe out...

Diamond material is of great importance for future technologies such as the quantum internet. Special defect centers can be used as quantum bits (qubits) and emit single light particles that are referred to as single pho...

Even in the absence of co-morbidities and obesity, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was associated with cognitive decline, poorer executive function, and decreased impulsive control in middle-aged men.

Stimulating the production of white adipose tissue, or beige fat, helps to reverse a slowing metabolism. The findings could help ward off age-related weight gain and prevent metabolism disorders.

Study investigates the influence of social and built environments on people's physical activity levels.

Developed at Harvard, and successfully tested at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), a revolutionary new meta-optics for microscopes with extremely high spatial and temporal resolution has proven its functional abil...

The human brain remains the most mysterious organ in our bodies. From memory and consciousness to mental illness and neurological disorders, there remain volumes of research and study to be done before we understand the ...

Researchers explore how sounds and music have the power to soothe, energize, and connect us to one another.

Multispectral imaging has fueled major advances in various fields, including environmental monitoring, astronomy, agricultural sciences, biomedicine, medical diagnostics and food quality control. The most ubiquitous and ...

Existing methods for manipulating neurons with light require invasive surgical procedures, but a new technique can link neurons without the need for surgery

We don't fully understand how the sun spits out high-energy particles during a solar flare, so researchers have created a miniature version in the lab

When any matter is divided into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually all you are left with--when it cannot be divided any further--is a particle. Currently, there are 12 different known elementary particles, which in t...

Suffering from frequent colds and flu may impact brain aging, accelerate cognitive decline, and could increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. In mice, intermittent experiences of moderate inflammation, such ...
