Dr. Carlo Cafaro, SUNY Poly faculty in the Department of Mathematics and Physics, has collaborated with Dr. Paul M. Alsing, Principal Research Physicist at the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, NY, on work published...

Researchers have uncovered a significant mechanism in the process of dendritic refinement within neurons during early postnatal brain development. The study, focusing on the Golgi apparatus in rodent neurons, demonstrate...

The remains of a climber who went missing in 1986 were found peeking out of a melting glacier in the Swiss Alps.

Researchers artificial intelligence (AI) to measure the risk of "emotional contagion" among relationship professionals, such as social workers and psychologists. This emotional contagion, an unconscious transfer of emoti...

Truly convenient materials that can conduct electricity perfectly have long been sought after by researchers, but their history is one of difficult experiments, theoretical puzzles and scientific controversy

In a pioneering study, scientists have successfully simulated playful environments in labs, encouraging playfulness in rats and analyzing the resulting brain activity. Their findings, highlight the crucial role of a stru...

A research study scrutinizes the parallels and differences between a near-death experience (NDE) during a coma and the experience induced by a potent psychedelic drug, 5-Methoxy-DMT (5MeO-DMT). The researchers found shar...

An upcoming resupply mission to the International Space Station will include stem cells destined to be grown into tiny, 3D models of the human brain.

The CMS collaboration has recently presented new results in searches for long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs). Also known as "sterile neutrinos", HNLs are interesting hypothetical particles that could solve three majo...

Researchers have explored the evolution of systems of interacting spins, as they transition from random to orderly alignments. Through new simulations, they show that this evolution can be investigated by measuring the c...

Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is used to reveal the interaction mechanisms in pulsed laser processing of float glass. Circular ablated pits and irregular shaped cracks are formed on the float glass's upper surface by...

After she'd spent a year experiencing unusual mood and behavioral symptoms, doctors discovered the teen's brain was being attacked by her own cells.

The 'Sturgeon Supermoon' will be the second of four supermoons in 2023 and best viewed at moonrise on Tuesday, August 1, 2023.

A region of the midbrain in rodents appears to be instrumental in enabling rats to engage in laughter and play

A woman may be most likely to give birth in her 30s and go through the menopause in her 50s, with these life events causing hormonal changes that may accelerate ageing

Immune cells are more effective at fending off pathogens when they use ketones - which are produced during fasting - rather than glucose for energy

Using ultra-high-precision laser spectroscopy on a simple molecule, a group of physicists led by Professor Stephan Schiller Ph.D. from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) has measured the wave-like vibration of a...

The Mac Mini is the cheapest Mac on the market, and the tiny form factor makes it ideal for students. This $100 discount helps a lot too.

People who carry a genetic variant that raises the risk of Alzheimer's disease may start to lose their sense of smell before they experience any decline in cognitive function

In a warmer and drier climate, the groundwater that fuels Yellowstone's tallest active geyser could dwindle, resulting in less frequent eruptions and even extinction.

The orca "slurped in the liver and then the whale shark just fell and descended down, with no movement," James Moskito of Ocean Safaris told Live Science.

Ask a cancer researcher what the breakthrough treatment of the decade is, and they'll tell you CAR T takes the crown. The therapy genetically engineers a person's own immune T cells, turning them into super soldiers that...
