Scientists combined fungus and bacteria into a "living material" that stays alive for up to a month. The post This Living Building Material Forms Bone-Like Structures and Could One Day Repair Itself appeared first on Sin...

A device has enabled people to see a new a shade of blue-green, which they say is more intense than any experienced before

Concentrating light in a volume as small as the wavelength itself is a challenge that is crucial for numerous applications. Researchers from AMOLF, TU Delft, and Cornell University in the U.S. have demonstrated a new way...

Whenever there's even a slight chance that an exoplanet shows signs of biological activity, people understandably get excited - but it's never been aliens, and we shouldn't jump to conclusions, not this time or the next,...

Measles can erase the immune system's "memory" and cause a rare but fatal health condition. The MMR vaccine prevents these repercussions, evidence shows.

A quantum sensor using Earth's magnetic fields outperformed standard GPS backups in test flights. This technology could help commercial aircraft stay on course amid a rise in GPS jamming and spoofing attacks

As climate change melts ice sheets and glaciers, water is being redistributed across the globe -- and could end up moving the point of Earth's axis of rotation.

A graduate student accidentally created a blend of oil, water and nickel particles that formed an unexpected shape.

People experience different amounts of pain during IUD insertion, but there are a number of pain-relief options available to patients getting the contraceptive.

Researchers conducted the first-ever near-infrared analysis of an extragalactic recurrent nova and found it is one of the hottest nova explosions ever discovered.

A new study has identified the protein hnRNP A1 as a key player in the production and maintenance of myelin, the fatty sheath that insulates nerve fibers in the brain. Myelin loss is common in disorders like multiple scl...

A new international study reveals a possible connection between GLP1 receptor agonists--used in drugs like Ozempic--and increased risk of depression and suicidal ideation, especially in people with low dopamine function....

A rare 'smiley face' triple conjunction is coming to Earth's morning skies on April 25, when Venus, Saturn and the crescent moon form a celestial smirk near the horizon.

A groundbreaking study used a brain-machine interface to explore how intentions, actions, and their outcomes are temporally linked in the human brain. By recording single-neuron activity from a paralyzed individual with ...

The "skyglow" produced when light from cities bounces off clouds can help cyanobacteria and other aquatic microbes grow at night

Iran's folded rocks are a colorful formation that is part of the Greater Caucasus mountains, which formed when the Eurasian tectonic plate collided with the Arabian plate millions of years ago.

Traditionally, magnetic materials have been divided into two main categories: ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. Over the past few years, however, physicists have uncovered the existence of altermagnets, a new type of ma...

A reanalysis of ancient DNA shows that a major cultural change took place in Ireland after four centuries of farming.

Microbial communities feeding on geothermal methane seeps beneath the Antarctic ice sheet could resemble life-supporting environments on frozen worlds in our solar system and beyond

Taiwanese manufacturer TSMC will begin producing the chips from the second half of this year.

A network of Earth's best clocks will be synchronised with the most accurate one ever sent into space. But the device has a short shelf life: it will burn up in the atmosphere at the end of the decade as the ISS deorbits

An international research team led by Mayukh Kumar Ray, Mingxuan Fu, and Satoru Nakatsuji from the University of Tokyo, along with Collin Broholm from Johns Hopkins University, has discovered the anomalous Hall effect in...
