Neurotransmitter receptor patterns define key organisational principles in the brain, UK scientists have discovered.

The cosmos is a unique laboratory for testing the laws of physics, in particular those of Euler and Einstein. Euler described the movements of celestial objects, while Einstein described the way in which celestial objects distort the universe.

An MIT study sheds surprising light on how certain superconductors undergo a “nematic transition” — unlocking new, superconducting behavior. The results could help identify unconventional superconducting materials.

MIT engineers designed a technology to probe connections between the brain and the digestive tract. Using fibers embedded with a variety of sensors, as well as optogenetic stimulation, the researchers could control neural circuits connecting the gut and the b…

In new work on graphs’ hidden structure, mathematicians probe the limits of randomness.

ESA’s BepiColumbo continues its journey to Mercury by making another flyby … of Mercury! This is the third of six planned flybys of its destination planet, each of which gives the spacecraft a gravitational deceleration. Eventually, it’ll slow down enough to …

A team of archaeologists and paleontologists affiliated with several institutions in China, working with a colleague from Italy, has identified a new species of theropod dinosaur with strange hand features. In their paper published in the journal Cretaceous R…

Scientists from Loughborough University are the first to show how a terahertz wave camera can record 3D images of minuscule things concealed inside small objects.

In this week’s My Two Cents, the Cut’s financial-advice columnist, Charlotte Cowles, investigates the ‘cash stuffing’ trend that’s taken off on TikTok.

Theoretical physicists have long been trying to devise a complete theory of gravity that would also account for quantum mechanics phenomena, as existing models do not. Such a theory could collectively explain the many intricate physical and cosmological pheno…

NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) mission acquired stunning views of Mars in two ultraviolet images taken at different points along our neighboring planet’s orbit around the Sun.

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new mini-Neptune exoplanet orbiting a nearby star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-2018 b, is about two times larger and nine times more massive than the Earth. The finding was detailed …

The new findings could explain why astronauts are more susceptible to infectious diseases while in space.

Science News: BENGALURU: The interpretation that the universe was expanding came after astronomers’ discovery in 1929 that galaxies are streaming away from us and e.

Tiny salt grains discovered in samples returned by the Hayabusa mission imply liquid water could be common in the largest solar system space rock population.

India's ambitious space exploration mission, Chandrayaan-3, is set to embark on an extraordinary journey to the Moon. As the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) prepares for this remarkable feat, here are five key things to know about the launch.

DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health.

According to recent research, Antarctic ice shelves have had very moderate increases in surface melt rates over the last four decades, in contrast to Greenland’s glaciers, which experienced a fast increase in surface melt during the same time period.

Scientists believe galactic musical sounds were emitted from the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole at the turn of the 19th century.

Vanitha Muthayya and Ritu Karidhal from Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) changed history and made us all proud by making Chandrayaan-2 India's first-ever space mission led by two women. | News
