A new study links long-COVID-related brain fog to two blood-clotting proteins.

In the intricate world of light, a journey through inhomogeneous media often leads to distortions in space, time, spectrum, and polarization. These distortions, detrimental to applications like optical manipulation, imag...

Drought conditions have revealed nearly pristine dinosaur tracks at a state park in Texas.

Imagine an action that occurs within a femtosecond, or one-quadrillionth of a second: atomic transitions, charge transfers and dynamics, biochemical processes. Now imagine being able to record that action so it can be st...

Researchers discovered a complex milk component that, when added to infant formula, can offer long-term cognitive benefits to children. The study found that formula supplemented with milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and ...

Scientists at Beijing Institute of Technology have developed an ultra-fast quasi-three-dimensional technology, overcoming the shortcomings of missing information in two-dimensional images and incomplete features, allowin...

Astrophysicist Avi Loeb and his team claim to be the first to have found fragments from an interstellar meteor, but other scientists are extremely sceptical

Infants who spent most of their first year during the COVID-19 pandemic have a less diverse gut microbiome compared to those born pre-pandemic. Researchers found lower levels of certain bacteria, like Pasteurellaceae and...

A genetic analysis suggests our ancestral population fell as low as around 1300 individuals nearly a million years ago, but other experts aren't convinced

Germany's first cryogenic measuring setup for statistical quality measurement of qubit devices on whole 200- and 300-mm wafers has started operation at Fraunhofer IAF. The on-wafer prober can characterize devices based o...

The human population may have lingered at about 1,300 for more than 100,000 years, and that population bottleneck could have fueled the divergence between modern humans, Neanderthals and Denisovans.

Supplementing with antioxidants such as vitamins C and E could increase the formation of blood vessels within lung cancer tumours, helping them to grow bigger and spread, according to a study in mice

Only 20 cases of stroke caused by being on an amusement park ride have been reported worldwide.

Yellowknife, which was recently evacuated due to the threat of wildfires, has become overrun with black bears that have moved into the empty streets in search of food.

A balm used in the mummification of an ancient Egyptian who died 3500 years ago contains ingredients hinting at long-distance trade

The strong force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Learn how it fits into the Standard Model of particle physics.

A new study debunks the idea that Neanderthals buried a man on a bed of flowers about 75,000 years ago.

The gigantic animal measured 14 feet and 3 inches long, beating the previous record for the longest alligator caught by permitted hunters by more than 2 inches.

The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will soon return to Earth. What's on board could reveal the extraterrestrial origins of life on Earth.

Gigantic jets, which are 50 times more powerful than typical lightning bolts and can reach the edge of space, were seen erupting out of Hurricane Franklin near Puerto Rico.

For years, physicists have been trying to explain a quantum phenomenon that occurs in a large class of superconducting materials: Electrons in so-called "strange metals" scatter at high rates in ways affected by temperat...
