Floating offshore wind turbines open a whole new playing field for energy companies, which have so far had to stick to shallow waters.

People who have similar neural responses to movie clips are more likely to become friends, indicating bonds form based off shared thought processes

Arizona State University scientists have unveiled NasRED, a revolutionary one-drop blood test that can detect diseases like COVID-19, Ebola, HIV, and Lyme with incredible speed and precision. Using gold nanoparticles to ...

Archaeologists found the body of a medieval knight underneath a tombstone that depicted him in full military regalia.

Researchers have developed CAPPSID, a novel cancer therapy that teams bacteria and viruses to infiltrate and destroy tumors. The system hides an oncolytic virus inside Salmonella typhimurium, which naturally migrates int...

A quantum broadcasting system would end up sending slightly different information to every receiver and efforts to sidestep this problem are too inefficient for practical use

Scientists have captured a video showing the implantation of a human embryo for the first time, using a laboratory model of a uterus.

Hundreds of stone tools discovered in Kenya have revealed that human relatives traveled long distances to find raw material.

Researchers have combined 15 years' worth of radio data to peer through the cone of a high-energy jet and unravel the magnetic mysteries of a "blazar" billions of light-years from Earth. The new findings also...

Connecting tubes between bacteria and a kind of microbe called archaea may reflect a symbiotic relationship that led to complex cells more than 2 billion years ago

Researchers have identified a distinct brain signature linked to the conscious experience of emotional intensity. By combining AI modeling, advanced brain imaging, and realistic experimental scenarios, they measured arou...

A study of March's Myanmar earthquake has found that strike-slip faults don't necessarily repeat past behavior, meaning the San Andreas fault could unleash a bigger quake than any seen before.

New research reveals how the brain merges visual and auditory information to make quicker, more accurate decisions. Using EEG, scientists found that auditory and visual decision processes start independently but ultimate...

Evidence is mounting that the evolution of our species is more convoluted than we imagined - more like a braided stream than a branching tree.

As experts study the human fossil record of Asia, many have come to see it as telling a different story than what happened in Europe and Africa.

A bright flash of radio waves from 3 billion years after the big bang is illuminating parts of the universe that astronomers cant normally see

A team of scientists from Korea and Japan has discovered a new type of crystal that can "breathe"-releasing and absorbing oxygen repeatedly at relatively low temperatures. This unique ability could transform the ...

A plucked guitar string can vibrate for seconds before falling silent. A playground swing, emptied of its passenger, will gradually come to rest. These are what physicists call "damped harmonic oscillators" and a...

These are the best budget star projectors you can buy in every category, from Astronaut Starry Sky and Cadrim to Dinosaur Egg Galaxy.

Beyond brains, robots desperately need smarter bodies. The post Todays Humanoid Robots Look Remarkable-but Theres a Design Flaw Holding Them Back appeared first on SingularityHub.

Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn't a given. Scientists at Penn State have found a new way to identify t...

An extremely precise detection method for single electrons, which pins down the particles with a resolution of trillionths of a second, may provide a valuable building block for future quantum technologies
