In a groundbreaking study, scientists have determined the structure of molecules within a human brain affected by Alzheimer's disease. Using cryo-electron tomography and fluorescence microscopy, researchers created 3D ma...

A new study reveals the cerebellum's role in controlling thirst, expanding its known functions beyond motor control. Researchers discovered that the hormone asprosin activates Purkinje neurons in the cerebellum, driving ...

The fortification was built to corral the slave-revolt leader and his forces.

A study reveals that narcissism decreases from childhood to older adulthood, though individual differences remain stable over time. People who are more narcissistic as children tend to stay that way as adults.

Roughly 52,000 years ago, a woolly mammoth died in the Siberian tundra. As her body flash froze in the biting cold, something remarkable happened: Her DNA turned into a fossil. It wasn't only genetic letters that were me...

A new study predicts cognitive decline rates in people with early Alzheimer's and explores how new drugs may slow this process. Researchers found that prediction models can estimate the rate of decline but with some unce...

The Milky Way is warped, possibly as the result of a collision with another galaxy billions of years ago. Studying this warp could reveal more about the structure of our galaxy's hidden matter.

A new study finds that Taylor Swift's openness about her struggles with body image and eating disorders positively influences her fans' attitudes. Researchers analyzed thousands of online comments, revealing that fans vi...

A new study finds that loneliness impacts memory more negatively than social isolation among older adults. Those who are both socially isolated and lonely experience the greatest memory decline, but loneliness alone also...

The writing is only the second confirmed inscription whose attribution connects to Muhammad.

A new study uncovers how the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) aids the auditory cortex in adapting to different hearing contexts. Researchers found that the OFC sends signals to the auditory cortex to help switch between passi...

Scientists are working to develop a new filler for period products that they say could help prevent leaks.

Researchers have reshaped single electrons into spiralling matter waves with distinct handedness that could be used to study and control materials

Modern human DNA may have made up a surprisingly large amount of the Neanderthal genome, a new study finds.

Have you ever placed the palm of your left hand on the back of your right hand in such a way that all fingers point in the same direction? If you have, then you probably know that your left thumb will not touch its right...

Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon, which allows a material to sustain an electrical current without any loss. This collective quantum behavior of matter only appears in certain conductors at temperatures far ...

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a University of Michigan study.

Prime Day 2024 is nearly here and we've found the best science kit discounts on a range of products that'll save you money.

Researchers at Mainz University and the University of California, Berkeley, have achieved a breakthrough in zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, paving the way towards benchmarking quantum chemistry calcul...

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have reported advancements in understanding plasma pressure profiles within flow-stabilized Z-pinch fusion, a candidate for achieving net gain fusion energy in ...

New seismic data show that a helium reservoir discovered in February in northern Minnesota is larger than initial estimates indicated, inching the project closer to commercial extraction.
