The eruption of the Shiveluch volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia on 11 April sent plumes of volcanic ash many kilometres into the air and could affect flights

Preventing oxidation in the gut could counteract the effects of sleep loss, a new study reports.

There is probably a plane of knowledge beyond the grasp of human minds. But mathematician and physicist David Wolpert says it is still possible to explore this unimaginable realm

Mice treated with a probiotic recovered from alcohol exposure and suffered fewer health effects than those not treated with the probiotic.

One way to reduce the damage caused by avalanches in the mountains is to place obstacles in their path. These obstacles can be artificial barriers or natural forests. Knowing how the avalanche interacts with obstacles is...

The next generation of quantum devices requires high-coherence qubits that are less error-prone. Responding to this need, researchers at the AQT at Berkeley Lab, a state-of-the-art collaborative research laboratory, deve...

Mint-flavored vaping juice produces more vapor particles and is associated with worse lung function in those who vape.

Researchers turn to jellyfish and fruitflies to explore the motivation to feed and shed new light on the mechanisms underlying feeding regulation.

Parental overprotection fosters unhealthy coping mechanisms in children, leading to an increase in depression, anxiety, and a decline in resilience.

A newly created elongated botulinum neurotoxin can alleviate symptoms of chronic pain without causing addiction or nerve damage leading to paralysis.

A bizarre 'ultraluminous X-ray source' shines millions of times brighter than the sun, breaking a physical law called the Eddington limit, a new study finds.

Depressed adolescents with a history of physical or sexual abuse had metabolites related to oxidative stress and transsulfuration. Both transsulfuration and oxidative stress regulate each other's functions and are associ...

Utilizing data from Twitter and applying natural language processing artificial intelligence algorithms, researchers created a new, accurate prediction model for depression and anxiety.

Jupiter's icy moons are thought to host buried oceans that could have the right conditions for life, and the European Space Agency's JUICE mission is about to go find out if they do

Health officials have reported 19 confirmed cases and 74 probable cases of blastomycosis linked to a paper mill.

Researchers replicated the classic double slit experiment using lasers, but their slits are in time not space.

Archaeologists think that a debilitating, "rope-like" lump of bone protruding from a 14th to 19th century woman's thigh sprouted as a result of extreme trauma.

Light produced just 380,000 years after the Big Bang was warped by the universe's dark matter exactly the way Einstein predicted it would be.

Antineutrinos, the antimatter counterpart of neutrinos, have an almost non-existent mass and charge, and almost never interact with other particles, which makes them particularly difficult to detect. Physicists have been...

Scientists working on laser application at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics (RAP) have employed a new technique using GHz bursts of femtosecond laser pulses grouped in MHz envelopes--termed BiBurst mode--to greatl...

During intense rainstorms, residents of urban areas rely on stormwater sewers to keep streets and homes from flooding. But in some cases, air pockets in sewers combine with fast-moving water to produce waterspouts that c...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed chip-scale devices for simultaneously manipulating the color, focus, direction of travel, and polarization of multiple beams of lase...
