Duke researchers developed an injectable scaffold that helped stroke-damaged brains grow new blood vessels, support nerve regrowth, and recover movement in mice. The treatment appears to work partly by recruiting the bod...

Scientists have discovered a strange black devil flower in Thailand that lives mostly underground, steals nutrients from fungi, and looks strikingly unlike a typical plant. The newly named Thismia daemona is known from f...

Morning glories may be getting caught in an evolutionary tug-of-war between surviving climate change and attracting increasingly scarce pollinators. Over just nine years, researchers found that the plants rate of adaptat...

A psychedelic best known for its effects on the brain may also protect peripheral nerves from chemotherapy damage, early research suggests.

The Hubble Space Telescope spied a large atmospheric phenomenon on Saturn: a decagon surrounding the south pole.

Deep beneath Mars, scientists have found evidence of enormous magmatic systems once thought to require Earth-like plate tectonics. Seismic measurements suggest molten rock repeatedly evolved and recycled itself through t...

The ancient bath complex was tucked in a tower in the corner of the royal palace and reveals unique architecture.

Physicists have proven a 100-year-old prediction of relativity by showing that Einstein's equivalence principle holds at quantum scales.

Many people who have chemotherapy develop numbness, tingling and pain in their hands and feet, which can disrupt their treatment. But research suggests that psilocybin, the psychedelic in magic mushrooms, could prevent t...

Almost every aspect of our food system will be transformed by climate change.

Scorching conditions this year have triggered wildfires in European countries that are normally considered to be damp and cool

Critically endangered pygmy raccoons on Cozumel Island in Mexico have shown remarkable creativity by making balls out of rubbish at beach clubs

The BESIII Collaboration, led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has achieved the world's most precise measurement of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the Lambda () hyperon...

A new study has demonstrated that it is possible to make a network of atoms and photons that could improve how artificial intelligence stores and recalls memories. This network, called a quantum-optical spin glass, works...

The James Webb Space Telescope seems to have discovered more ancient black holes than theory had predicted, and now we have a new way to explain why

Geologists recently identified a 454.4 million-year-old volcano on England's east coast, but whether the structure can be considered a "supervolcano" remains an open question.

A new study led by surfing scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego revealed the physical relationships underlying a pattern familiar to generations of surfers.

Research means asking questions of the universe. For centuries, clever minds have advanced science by devising ingenious experiments designed so their results reveal something about the laws of nature as clearly and unam...

Researchers from MIT have designed a new qubit architecture that enables qubits to interact with each other much more quickly while remaining very stable. This advance could someday help scientists build practical quantu...

Heat, it turns out, has a memory. A cooling cup of coffee may not seem particularly thoughtful. At the scale of a kitchen, heat appears to follow a straightforward rule: it moves from warmer places to cooler ones. Leave ...

China is rapidly expanding its ability to harness renewable energy sources.
