Astrobotic Technology's Peregrine moon lander has successfully launched into space on a brand-new rocket and will attempt to touch down on the lunar surface in February. But the lander's payload includes human remains, w...

Scientists have created 3D brain organoids from human fetal tissue that self-organize, offering a new way to study brain development and diseases. These mini-brains contain various brain cell types and extracellular matr...

A team of researchers has proposed an indirect optical method for determining internal temperatures of opaque packed beds based on phosphor thermometry. This method enables simultaneous multi-point measurements using an ...

Researchers explore the potential of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) as a noninvasive tool to measure brain activity. Unlike invasive methods, fNIRS offers simplicity and portability, making it a promising ...

Researchers uncovered a crucial link between the gene Angiogenin (ANG) and age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD), motor neuron disease (MND), and Parkinson's disease. In its mutated...

The pace of the green energy transition has accelerated significantly in recent years. Figures released at the end of last year show roughly 40 percent of US electricity production is now emission-free. With growing conc...

Just six hours into its maiden flight, Astrobotic Technology's Peregrine moon lander has experienced a technical fault that could doom the mission.

Grasslands are almost 40 per cent less productive after a year of extreme drought, an experiment spanning six continents suggests

Own brand one-litre water bottles from three unnamed US supermarkets each contained hundreds of thousands of microscopic plastic particles

Scientists are using epigenetic clocks to reveal our biological age, a true marker of health. A new study delves into the immune system's role in understanding and improving the accuracy of these clocks.

Substitutional doping from foreign elements stands out as a preferred method for precisely tailoring the electronic band structure, conduction type, and carrier concentration of pristine materials. In the realm of three-...

Sleep has long been a mystery, but a new study offers fresh insights. By tracking brain activity in sleeping rats, they propose that sleep's primary function is to reset the brain's computational state to achieve "critic...

The new tissue-derived minibrains may complement existing models made from stem cells, the researchers behind the new study say.

It may be easier than researchers thought to form diamonds inside giant planets, which means that it might rain diamonds on up to a third of the planets we've discovered so far

Bitcoin miners seem unwilling to take action to curb the cryptocurrency's energy and water use - so some campaigners argue that it is time for governments to intervene

United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur rocket lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station early Monday morning (Jan. 8).

Bird flu could be another blow for polar bear populations that are already at risk from climate change.

ULA's new rocket now has one flight under its belt.

A team of Chinese researchers used a novel theory to invent a new type of ultrathin optical crystal with high energy efficiency, laying the foundation for next-generation laser technology.

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated the remarkable ability to perturb pairs of spatially separated yet interconnected quantum entangled particles without altering their shared properties.

Christina Koch, who will become the first woman to go to the moon with the Artemis II mission, on what space smells like, why it is difficult to return to Earth and how astronauts play human bowling

Hold your hands out in front of you, and no matter how you rotate them, it's impossible to superimpose one over the other. Our hands are a perfect example of chirality--a geometric configuration by which an object cannot...
