India has launched its Chandrayaan-3 mission, which aims to explore the south pole of the moon by rover, completing a scientific mission that was first attempted in 2019 but ended in catastrophic failure due to a softwar...

When fabricated in one or two dimensions, systems of particles whose quantum spins interact with each other can display some unique quantum properties. Through new research published in The European Physical Journal B, A...

An analysis of more than 400 brain scans has revealed a potential new biomarker for depression.

A ring wormhole is one that you could simply step through, like a portal through space - but new, more detailed models have shown that they could be a portal through time as well

As anticipated, an arm of the World Health Organization has said aspartame is a "possible carcinogen" -- but does that label mean much?

Vision impairment in those over 71 could be a potential risk factor for dementia, a new study suggests. By analyzing the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS), the researchers found a notable association between...

The US actors' union is striking over disagreement with Hollywood studios about using AI to create "digital twins" of actors, and the results could determine the viability of acting as a career

The magic of live performances is not lost on infants, as new research suggests that live music captivates them more than recorded versions of the same show. Researchers noticed synchronized heart rates and enhanced enga...

One of the earliest North American human occupation sites, dating to more than 18,000 years ago, was discovered in Oregon.

Researchers have uncovered genes essential for learning, memory, aggression, and other complex behaviors originated around 650 million years ago. The study utilized computational methods to trace the evolutionary history...

Kai Bird, co-author of "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer" opens up on the physicist's life and legacy.

Regular exercise prevents neurons crucial for movement from degrading in rats with symptoms of Parkinson's disease, potentially explaining why consistent physical activity can slow the advancement of symptoms

Nuclear testing in the 1950s marked sediments at the bottom of a lake in Canada to such an extent that scientists are calling for it to become the symbol of a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene.

The real-time monitoring of facilities, particularly large facilities (such as rail transit systems, large bridges, and buildings), can provide information regarding their surrounding environment and allow their health c...

There is a growing demand for portable gas sensors, from both environmental and health sciences users as well as industry. Resonant optical sensors, in particular planar micro-resonators, combine high sensitivity and sma...

The early success of physics comes mainly from solving direct or forward problems in which the physical state of a system can be described from a well-defined physical model and from governing equations. Yet, there exist...

Quantum walks have been widely studied for their ability to simulate real physical phenomena. Physicists have previously studied two distinct types of quantum walk, but so far, they haven't widely considered how their ma...

Fusion, which replicates the same reaction that powers the sun, has long been viewed as an ideal energy source due to its potential to be safe, clean, cheap, and reliable.

Fish, shrimp and other creatures were found in much lower numbers 13 months after a deep-sea mining test in the Pacific Ocean

Found in a Brazilian cave, the remarkable specimen of a ground sloth fetus inside its mother offers a rare insight into the developmental biology of the extinct mammal

In the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), proton and lead beams travel close to the speed of light. They carry a strong electromagnetic field that acts like a flux of photons as the beam moves through the accelerator. When the...

Experts abandoned the autopsy of a dead fin whale after they heard bubbling noises from the creature's gut, indicating there was a chance it could explode if opened.
