NASA engineers have received a "heartbeat" signal from Voyager 2, bringing hope that they may be able to reestablish contact with the probe months ahead of schedule.

After accidentally shifting Voyager 2's antenna by two degrees, NASA is out of contact with the interstellar probe until at least Oct. 15.

Non abelian-anyons' recollection of their past has enabled physicists to weave them into complex entangled designs with new behaviors.

Optical phase retrieval and imaging appear in a wide variety of science fields, such as imaging of quasi-transparent biological samples or nanostructures metrological characterization, for example, in the semiconductor i...

Researchers developed an intelligent model system to understand the complex functioning of ion channels, crucial for many cellular processes. The study focused on the inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir2.

After accidentally turning the Voyager 2 spacecraft away from Earth and losing contact with it, NASA engineers have now heard a "heartbeat signal" that shows it is still okay

A recent study suggests a significant link between vision problems and dementia in older adults. The study examined nearly 3,000 elderly individuals, showing a higher risk of dementia among those with eyesight issues.

The laser is so small you need a microscope to see it properly. But it's not just the size that scientists at Sandia National Laboratories are excited about.

Doctors found a novel gene mutation in two siblings with the same rare disorder.

Scientists have created a set of infant brain cortex parcellation maps that offer an intricate look into brain development from birth to two years old. Using a combination of high-resolution functional and structural MRI...

Acquiring real-time spectral information in point-of-care diagnosis, internet-of-things, and other lab-on-chip applications requires spectrometers with hetero-integration capability and miniaturized features. Compared to...

Einstein predicted the existence of these crosses back in 1915. Now, they are used to study distant galaxies.

Higher exposure to lead in childhood is associated with a greater likelihood of criminality, a review of 17 studies has found, but whether the element is causing the behaviour rather than just being associated with it is...

The James Webb Space Telescope spied a cosmic question mark in deep space while observing two young stars located more than 1,000 light-years from Earth.
