An increasing number of people are being diagnosed with the debilitating and painful condition known as Christmas Eye this summer.

Astronomers have begun using an advanced machine learning model of the formation of galaxy clusters to understand the origins of dark matter.

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate almost all biological processes, protein production, inflammatory responses, immune regulation, tumorigenesis and infection. In mammals, the classic formation of miRNA needs to transcribe a long primar…

An ultrasonically actuated glass needle turns any commercial robot arm into a versatile, automated microfluidics lab.

In the coming years, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) will send two robotic missions to explore Jupiter's icy moon Europa. These are none other than NASA's Europa Clipper and the ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE), which will launch in 2024, and…

The American Astronomical Society (AAS) has awarded the 2023 Laboratory Astrophysics Prize, to Dr. Reggie Hudson of the Cosmic Ice Laboratory at NASA's Goddard Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Plastics are quite commonplace in today's world. Consequently, plastic waste is an environmental menace that is increasing at an exponential rate. The negative impact of plastic waste on global social-ecological systems is far-reaching and seems irreversible.…

A significant discovery about the mechanisms by which plants open and close their stomata could lead to new methods of protecting crops from the effects of climate change, particularly the rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. While breathing is …

The latest Tweet by SpaceX states, 'Targeting Wednesday, January 18 at 7:10 a.m. ET for launch of the GPS III Space Vehicle 06 mission from SLC-40 in Florida → ...'

The otherwise unremarkable double asteroid of Didymos and Dimorphos made headlines as the target of NASA's successful Double Asteroid Redirect Test (DART) mission. With new details about the system emerging, astronomers have put together a hypothesis of how t…

UNITED STATES: The Hubble space telescope, which has served as our ears and eyes in space for more than three decades, has once more gazed into the void of space and seen a dramatic black hole meal. Hubble clicks the final moments of a star The Hubble space t…

The site of Jehol Biota in China is famous for stunning fossils which preserve soft tissue – skin, organs, feathers, and fur.

A rare three-dimensional fossil of an ancient chimaera has revealed new clues about the diversity of these creatures in the Carboniferous period, some 300 milli

A January 2023 study in Frontiers of Physiology tracked a world-class athlete as they returned to the top level after multiple years of underperformance. The interventions included a holistic approach consisting of more fueling around training and increased t…

Researchers at Sweden’s Linköping University have created an artificial neuron that closely mimics the characteristics of biological nerve cells. They describe the work in a study, published recently in <em>Nature Materials</em>, indicating that the artificia…

The Hubble telescope spotted an asteroid while it was transiting through the view of Hubble when it was pointed toward the galaxy UGC 7983.

Windows, doorways, and hallways are risky places to be, even if you're far from the blast and lucky enough to be inside a concrete-reinforced building.

<p>What better way to open the new year than by spotting a hopefully bright comet? </p>

If you take a magnifying glass and a torch and look at your teeth very carefully in the mirror, in places you can spot a pattern of fine, parallel lines running

Curtin University research into how echidnas might respond to a warming climate has found clever techniques used by the animal to cope with heat, including blowing bubbles to wet its nose tip, with the moisture then evaporating and cooling its blood.

Political parties formed in Europe by existing parliamentarians are significantly more likely to die, new research shows.

Investigators have developed an improved method to more accurately insert large DNA sequences–such as an entire normal replacement gene—in cells.
