What if emergency medical personnel could treat a desperately ill patient in need of oxygen with a simple injection instead of having to rely on mechanical ventilation or rush to get them onto a heart-lung bypass machine?

An insulin-suppressing protein could be behind the 500 percent increase in longevity seen in queen ants compared to workers in the colony, according to a new study that scientists say could shed light on the ageing process in other species.

Paleontology sometimes seems like a kind of imaginative Rorschach test with the flattened fauna of roadkill.

The inflatable modules would serve as greenhouses and use large mirrors to collect valuable sunlight.

Humans are going back to the Moon and this time they’re seeking to stay. NASA’s Artemis program promotes a sustainable...

Students from Darnaby Elementary School, near 81st and Memorial, got to send their questions all the way into space today. Read the full story at https://bit...

Physicists have managed to cool down a quantum magnet 3 billion times cooler than deep space's temperature.

Be it magnets or superconductors, materials are known for their various properties. However, these properties may change spontaneously under extreme conditions. Researchers at the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) and the Technische Universität München (TU…

When adult females emerge from pupae, friction shuffles the bacteria to genital area.

This hardware is only an experiment, but it suggests producing breathable air from the red planet's thin atmosphere is going to be feasible.

Astronomers and engineers use three types of orbits around Earth to position satellites and other space-based objects.

The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is an aquatic salamander renowned for its ability to regenerate its spinal cord, heart and limbs. These amphibians also readily make new neurons throughout their lives. In 1964, researchers observed that adult axolotls could …

These days, dragons are keeping "Game of Thrones" fans on their toes. But they are also providing important insights into vertebrate brain evolution, as revealed by the work of Max Planck scientists on the brain of the Australian bearded dragon Pogona vittice…

A multi-institute research team led by BGI-Research has used BGI Stereo-seq technology to construct the world first spatiotemporal cellular atlas of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) brain development and regeneration, revealing how a brain injury can heal it…

A cryo-EM structure for the three conformers of coxsackievirus A6 provides insight into the infection process of this enterovirus, which is responsible for numerous cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease.

A new study shows that analyzing bodies of organisms killed by an impact of asteroids can teach us exactly how much damage occurs at the spot of such a cosmic collision.

Nasa has published four different views of HIP 65426 b, the first planet outside our solar system to be captured by the $10bn (£8.65bn) space telescope.

A Policy Forum article published today in Science calls for a new approach to regulating genetically engineered (GE) crops, arguing that current approaches for triggering safety testing vary…

A roundup of this week’s Funding Insight articles

Drug molecules and biofuels can be made to order by living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the job. Now researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a computer model that can predict how fast enzymes work, making it possible to …

This glittering gathering of stars is the globular cluster NGC 6558, and it was captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys.

Kétévi Assamagan describes how US particle physicists are trying to make their field work for people of all genders, ethnicities and backgrounds.

Queen ants uniquely exhibit high metabolism for reproduction without undergoing ageing, scientists say
