The skin could allow machines to dynamically blend into their surroundings or be used to create adaptive displays and artwork. The post Sci-Fi Cloaking Technology Takes a Step Closer to Reality With Synthetic Skin Like a...

Plastic pollution is not just in oceans and soil. Scientists have now found enormous amounts of microscopic plastic floating through urban air, far exceeding earlier estimates. Road dust and rainfall play a major role in...

Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at the University of Basel created a new test that tracks individual bacteria to see which drugs ...

Before the Romans captured Pompeii, the famous town was run by the Samnite people - and a dip in their public baths might have been an unpleasant experience

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in the body.

Using robots and click chemistry, scientists built potential active ingredients for future antibiotics that contain metal.

Combining two kinds of quantum computing devices could be just the trick for taking better images of faint, faraway exoplanets

For centuries, the principle of symmetry has guided physicists towards more fundamental truths, but now a slew of shocking findings suggest a far stranger idea from quantum theory could be a deeper driving force

Sexual behaviour among same-sex pairs is common in apes and monkeys, and a wide-ranging analysis suggests it does boost survival

The best running shoe for everyday runs is now up to a whopping 69% off at Amazon. This deal on New Balance Fresh Foams is a January fitness deal we'd recommend you don't miss.

A collaboration between Stuart Parkin's group at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) and Claudia Felser's group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresde...

The worlds most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models will offer unprecedented insights into how our brains work

Researchers from Skoltech, MEPhI, and the Dukhov All-Russian Research Institute of Automation have proposed a new method to create compact gamma-ray sources that are simultaneously brighter, sharper, and capable of emitt...

Stone Age people in Macedonia created goddess figurines whose bottom half was a house.

Researchers have discovered a brain activity pattern that can predict which people with mild cognitive impairment are likely to develop Alzheimers disease. Using a noninvasive brain scanning technique and a custom analys...

Microscopic ocean algae produce a huge share of Earths oxygen-but they need iron to do it. New field research shows that when iron is scarce, phytoplankton waste energy and photosynthesis falters. Climate-driven changes ...

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating patterns. The effect comes from mixing two nearly identical compounds whose mismatched structu...

Scientists observing the red giant star R Doradus have found that starlight isnt strong enough to drive its stellar winds, overturning a long-standing theory. The dust grains around the star are simply too small to be pu...

A small group of people experience no pleasure from music despite normal hearing and intact emotions. Brain imaging reveals that their auditory and reward systems fail to properly communicate, leaving music emotionally f...

A groundbreaking cattle genome has given researchers their clearest look yet at what makes Wagyu beef so special. By uncovering hundreds of new genes and hidden genetic variations, scientists can now pinpoint traits link...

Weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are changing how Americans spend money on food. A large Cornell study found households cut grocery spending by over 5% within six months, with even bigger drops at fast-food rest...

Scientists at Fermilabs MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle proposed for decades to explain puzzling neutrino behavior. Their high-precision measurements showed ...
