The New York University School of Medicine and collaborators found that capillary-associated macrophages in skin decline with age, weakening microvascular repair and reducing perfusion in mice, with skin restoration possible after boosting local macrophage re…

"No low-frequency radio image of the entire Southern Galactic Plane has been published before, making this an exciting milestone in astronomy."

A similar recovery has not been observed among sunflower sea stars which are linked to the vanishing of Oregon's underwater kelp forests.

Learning by example.

A pregnant woman's blood sample taken in 1972 was mysteriously missing a surface molecule found on all other known red blood cells at the time.

New discoveries from ancient caves are rewriting everything we thought we knew about Neanderthal diets. Far from being primitive carnivores, these early humans show signs of unexpected culinary habits, medicinal knowledge, and coastal living.

From mini-brains and spider-inspired gloves to edible wolf apple coatings and microplastic-filled retinas, scientists are transforming creepy concepts into life-improving innovations. Lab-grown brain organoids could replace animal testing, web-slinging gloves…

Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New satellite data and advanced simulations show that the morning side of the magnetosphere carries a negative charge, not positive as long believ…

A late-night stream of Mars images has stirred fresh curiosity, uneasy laughter and a rash of wild theories across social media. Within hours, a claim

It's red, white, and blue, like the French "Tricolore." But it really represents America and its Star-Spangled Banner, since the car was made in the USA.

A team of physicists from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Italy has mathematically shown that our Universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any algorithm.

This statement might sound like a line from a sci-fi movie, but what if life on Earth didn’t start here at all? For decades, that question sat on the fringe ...

A laser-based ice drill can bore deep, narrow channels into ice while keeping both mass and energy requirements lower than traditional tools.

In a greenhouse in Tokyo, researcher Ko Mochizuki noticed something unusual. Flies were swarming around the delicate flowers of an obscure plant species. The blooms, however, weren’t offering nectar or bright colors to attract these insects. Instead, they wer…

As someone who studies materials, Lu Li knows people want to hear about the exciting new applications and technologies his discoveries could enable. Sometimes, though, what he finds is just too weird or extreme to have any immediate use.

'Anti-social' cosmic explosion challenges current understanding of supernovas

Study reveals Neanderthals shaped and used ochre crayons for symbolic and artistic purposes 70,000 years ago.

The ocean is doing its best to soak up excess heat, but once humanity (hopefully) achieves a net-negative carbon economy, the bill will come due.
