A new study shows that Cannabigerol (CBG) significantly reduces anxiety without the intoxicating effects of THC. The clinical trial found that 20 mg of CBG reduced anxiety and stress in participants, with memory enhancem...

There has been plenty of rain, sweat and tears shed at the Paris Olympics this week. But the pool at the heart of La Defénce Arena has suffered a drought of world records that has athletes and officials scratching their...

Researchers successfully transferred regenerative genes from simple organisms into fruit flies, resulting in improved stem cell function and suppression of age-related intestinal issues. This breakthrough suggests that s...

Astronomers have spotted two colossal clusters of galaxies colliding and shooting out all of their dark matter, which may provide crucial evidence of how dark matter shapes the cosmos

Shining light through nanocrystals helps break down PFAS without the need for extreme heat or pressure

MIT physicists and colleagues report new insights into exotic particles key to a form of magnetism that has attracted growing interest because it originates from ultrathin materials only a few atomic layers thick. The wo...

The last gasp of a "cannibal" coronal mass ejection that slammed Earth on Tuesday will bring lovely auroras to parts of the northern US and most of Canada tonight, with more northern lights displays on the way this weeke...

One of the largest and strongest beetles in the world hardly seems the best inspiration for a delicate flying microbot. But using slow-motion cameras to capture the critters in flight, an international team designed a fl...

New methods applied in live mice suggest that molecules called neuropeptides, not neurotransmitters, play the main role in our response to danger.

An international team of scientists, led by Trinity College Dublin, has devised an innovative imaging method using state-of-the-art microscopes that significantly reduces the time and radiation required. Their work repre...

Researchers were surprised to find that a very slightly curved object produces a more dramatic splash than a perfectly flat one

Little is known about the fate of PFAS in our environment, but new research finds that bacteria in wastewater can degrade specific types of "forever chemicals."

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found that Ariel, a moon of Uranus, has some of the most carbon dioxide-rich deposits in the solar system, hinting at a buried water ocean.

Quantum technology is quantifiable in qubits, which are the most basic unit of data in quantum computers. The operation of qubits is affected by the quantum coherence time required to maintain a quantum wave state.

Room-temperature superconductivity has been a century-long-held dream of scientists. Hydrogen-rich compounds at high pressures are predicted to be potential high-temperature and even room-temperature superconductors and ...

When two black holes collide, space and time shake and energy spreads out like ripples in a pond. These gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein in 1916, were observed for the first time by the Laser Interferometer Gra...

Huge iron ore deposits in Western Australia's Hamersley Province formed when major tectonic events led to the breakup of supercontinent Columbia and to the amalgamation of Australia.

Dark energy remains among the greatest puzzles in our understanding of the cosmos. In the standard model of cosmology called the Lambda-CDM, it is accounted for by adding a cosmological constant term in Einstein's field ...

A strain of green algae has been artificially evolved to turn carbon dioxide into sustainable fuel and plastic

Scientists cannot observe dark matter directly, so to "see" it, they look for signals that it has interacted with other matter by creating a visible photon. However, signals from dark matter are incredibly weak. If scien...

The concept of deep diffractive neural networks (D2NN) was introduced by Professor Ozcan's research team in 2018. D2NN combines the principles of light diffraction with the functionalities of neural networks. It consists...

New ion-trap chip eschews lasers for an integrated circuit that can be mass produced in existing semiconductor factories.
