Researchers have mapped the path of a giant submarine avalanche that tore through the Agadir Canyon -- a deep trench in the Atlantic seafloor off the coast of Morocco -- 60,000 years ago.

Listeria infections tied to the consumption of sliced deli meat have recently hospitalized almost 60 Americans.

Discover interesting facts about where the Tasmanian tiger lived, what it ate, why and when it went extinct, and whether we could ever bring one back.

After analyzing a submerged bridge found in a Spanish cave, researchers have determined that humans inhabited the area earlier than previously thought.

Researchers have discovered that the Tau protein, often linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, also has a protective role in the brain. Tau helps combat oxidative stress by aiding in the formation of lipi...

Entangled particles of light can transmit holographic images that can be selectively erased, allowing for secure communications that can also be deleted

The US military has prioritised deploying high-altitude balloons that can carry out surveillance

A study has tied a substance in the blood to colorectal cancer in people under age 50. It may act as an early signal of the disease, scientists say, but that needs to be confirmed.

A neural network can recreate the classic computer game Doom despite using none of its code or graphics, hinting that generative AI could be used to create games from scratch in future

Amid rising cases of mpox in Central Africa, it is important to uncover whether this virus causes symptoms even after the infection has cleared

Alzheimer's disease slowly takes over the mind. Long before symptoms occur, brain cells are gradually losing their function. Eventually they wither away, eroding brain networks that store memories. With time, this robs p...

NASA scientists have discovered a planet-wide electric field surrounding Earth, confirming a 60-year-old hypothesis. Studying the field could yield some vital information about how our planet's atmosphere has evolved.

'Little red dot' galaxies seen by JWST appear to be much more tightly packed with stars than other galaxies, raising big questions about how they came to be this way

A study, published in the journal Science Bulletin and led by Dr. Haiping Hu from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOP, CAS), explores the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) and non-Bloch bands.

Finding the universe's brightness is essential for confirming our theories of what makes up the universe. But to do so, scientists had to send a spacecraft far away from our sun.

An article in Opto-Electronic Advances, discusses complete-basis-reprogrammable coding metasurface for generating dynamically-controlled holograms under arbitrary polarization states.

De-extinction -- the science of resurrecting extinct species -- is progressing in leaps and bounds. Here are six creatures that researchers could bring back to life.

Researchers have uncovered how morphine relieves pain by activating a specific group of neurons in the brain, termed the 'morphine ensemble.' These neurons, located in the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM), connect to t...

Atoms tunnelling through a quantum battery could charge it and also keep it from losing energy, which could give an advantage over conventional batteries

The Garmin Forerunner 265 is now 22% off at Amazon and other online retailers.

The new AI system can estimate cosmological parameters with stunning precision, and it could help astronomers unpick one of the thorniest problems in the field.

Recently, an inelastic neutron scattering work on the bilayer nickelate La3Ni2O7-δ polycrystal finished by a team from Sun Yat-sen University was published in Science Bulletin. The team employed neutron spectroscopy to ...
