Astronomers have released the largest gravitational wave catalog ever, revealing 161 new black hole collisions and pushing the total number of detections to 390. Among the highlights are the clearest gravitational wave s...

A decades-old puzzle about water has finally been unraveled. Researchers found that water trapped in tiny nanoscale spaces is not inherently more reactive. Instead, the intense pressures created inside these microscopic ...

A new study utilizes molecular genetic timelines to validate the "brain lag" hypothesis, proving that primate body growth preceded brain expansion. The analysis expands the theory by demonstrating that hominin br...

A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really a living organism - yet

Slower maternal vocal response times to 12-month-old infants predict an increased risk of ADHD and disruptive behavior disorders by age 7. For every 10% increase in the probability of a maternal response within one secon...

An ancient-DNA analysis of the bones of two members of the Renaissance Medici family has confirmed they had malaria when they died.

The rhythm of human laughter appears to have deep evolutionary roots shared with chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans. That ancient pattern may offer one of the clearest clues yet to how the vocal control neede...

A new study demonstrates that top-down cognitive context actively reshapes early visual processing through a specific inhibition-on-inhibition (disinhibition) circuit motif, mapping a precise mechanism for cognitive flex...

Feedback is informed of an exciting new development in underwear design from a brand that says it infuses its products with beneficial bacteria to nourish the skin microbiome

The vibrant colours and delicate details of New Zealand's fungi and slime moulds are documented in these images, taken from Jay Lichter's new book The Secret Life of Fungi

A new study utilizes a rigorous sibling-matched design to conclusively prove that prenatal paracetamol (acetaminophen) exposure carries zero risk of causing autism or ADHD, regardless of trimester timing or dosage volume...

Optogenetically activating underactive VIP inhibitory neurons in the motor cortex completely restores normal circuit activity and motor learning in Huntingtons disease models, with therapeutic benefits persisting long af...

Researchers have identified the first-ever dinosaur fossil discovered on Antarctica, revealing it belonged to a titanosaur.

A new study demonstrates a new CAR-T cell therapy that targets the GPNMB protein found on both glioblastoma cells and tumor-supporting macrophages.

A massive national study found that nearly half of Americans with kidney failure who are referred for a transplant never even begin the evaluation process, and only 19% make it onto the transplant waitlist. Researchers d...

A philosopher has put forward an argument for rethinking how particles are defined within the standard model of particle physics

A surprising discovery is overturning a long-held assumption about how the brains movement center works. Researchers found that two key cerebellar cell types-thought to be tightly linked-often dont behave in predictable ...

A form of fibre that boosts the release of the hunger-reducing hormone GLP-1 has been approved as safe by a European regulator, and could be added to foods within a year

A new study suggests creating a satellite constellation, dubbed StormWall, that could reduce the impacts of the worst solar storms by more than 50%. The novel plan, which involves dumping gas into the magnetosphere, coul...

Using complex climate models, researchers have pinned down the point at which life will no longer be able to survive on Earth.

Researchers reveal that we waste a huge amount of energy on redundant bitcoin mining operations - where different miners try to grab the same bitcoin.
