A third launch attempt of Artemis 1 could happen in late September, but that would require some serious hustle.

A new study led by scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory (UW APL) finds that marine predators, such as tunas, billfishes and sharks, aggregate in anticyclonic, clockwise-rotating ocea…

An event that occurs only once every 120 years, the large-scale flowering, seeding, and dying of dwarf bamboo (Sasa borealis), has been found to provide ideal breeding conditions for Japanese field mice.

The brain mechanisms that cause aggressive behavior have been well studied. Far less understood are the processes that tell the body when it's time to stop fighting. Now, a new study by Salk scientists identifies a gene and a group of cells in the brain that …

Lead halide perovskites (e.g., MAPbI3) are an emerging family of semiconductor materials with excellent optoelectronic properties ideally suited for photovoltaic and light-emitting applications. Significant ion migration has been reported in these materials a…

All magnets—from the simple souvenirs hanging on your refrigerator to the disks that give your computer memory to the powerful versions used in research labs—contain spinning quasiparticles called magnons. The direction one magnon spins can influence that of …

Let's pretend it's the Late Cretaceous, roughly 66 to 100 million years ago. We've got dinosaurs roaming the land and odd-looking early species of birds, although the shark as we know it is already swimming in the prehistoric oceans—which cover 82% of Earth. …

Bringing humans to Mars also requires bringing oxygen to Mars -- or so we thought, until a small device on the Perseverance rover proved otherwise.

Every day, about one quadrillion gallons of water are silently pumped from the ground to the treetops. Earth's plant life accomplishes this staggering feat using only sunlight. It takes energy to lift all this liquid, but just how much was an open question un…

A pair of astronauts is set to receive geology training at different locations across Europe to prepare them for future trips to the Moon.

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and clinicians at Emory University School of Medicine are bringing a new understanding to these complicated c

A large study of French adults published by The BMJ today suggests a potential direct association between higher artificial sweetener consumption and increased cardiovascular disease risk, including heart attack and stroke.

But some researchers say such observational studies are not definitive. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Oxford's R21/Matrix-M vaccine was found to be 77% effective at preventing malaria. Read more at straitstimes.com.

A new study in mice found that hypertension may be linked to significant bone loss. Bone quality in young mice with high blood pressure was similar to the bones of older mice without high blood pressure, suggesting that the effects of hypertension on bone qua…

Infections in pregnant women have been linked to an increased risk of neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism, in the child later in life. But it does not seem to be the infections themselves that cause autism, researchers show in a new study.

Men and women who are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) aged 40 or younger are far more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) and die prematurely than those under 40 in the general population, according to new research to be presented at this year…

Detailed characterization of human pancreatic islets is key to elucidate the pathophysiology of all forms of diabetes mellitus, including its most common form known as type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, access to pancreatic islets is limited and pancreatic tissu…

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

Researchers review current knowledge regarding the generation of immune memory responses and their durability post-infection and vaccination.

Evaluating the anti-arthritic effects of Dehydrozingerone in complete Freund’s adjuvant -induced arthritis

A new survey by City University of New York School of Public Health researchers and posted to the medRxiv * preprint server suggests the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2...
