Personal names are a universal feature of human language, yet few analogs exist in other species. The use of learned arbitrary labels is part of what gives human language its uniquely broad range of expression....

There are several reasons why exposure to silica dust remains a problem in British workplaces:...

One of the most startling scientific discoveries of recent decades is that physics appears to be fine-tuned for life. This means that for life to be possible, certain numbers in physics had to fall within a certain, very narrow range....

There scientists will urge delegates to heed the latest science showing that because toxic chemicals are used to make all plastics, and plastics will adsorb other chemicals during use, there are no plastics that can be deemed safe or circular....

More than sixty years after it was last recorded, an expedition team has rediscovered an iconic, egg-laying mammal in one of the most unexplored regions of the world. Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna, named after famed broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, was captured for the first time in photos and video footage using...

Despite the disparity between cultures and epochs, the same mysterious attributes are given to the dog star, which can lead us to ask: how can all these...

The Occupational Disease Review Commission in southern Seoul recently acknowledged the stomach cancer death of an individual referred to only as Mr. Song as an occupational accident. Mr. Song had served as a flight attendant for Korean Air, and the decision was made based on a variety of factors.

Rodents trained to navigate within a virtual arena could, in return for a reward, activate the same neural patterns they’d shown while navigating—even when they were standing still. That suggests rodents can voluntarily access mental maps of places they’ve previously visited.

To most of us, the rush of the oceans that followed the last ice age seems like a prehistoric epoch. But the historic occasion was dutifully recorded—coast to coast—by the original inhabitants of the land Down Under....

While it may not be immediately apparent why apes didn’t migrate from the eastern Mediterranean to Asia during the late Miocene, conditions in Africa might have been more favorable for such a dispersal....

On January 23, 1570, James Stewart, the 1st Earl of Moray, was assassinated. At the time he was the Regent of Scotland, and thus earned himself the unwanted record of being the first government principal anywhere to be assassinated by a firearm....

Macrophages try to get rid of the fibers and ultimately fail to do so, which results in pulmonary fibrosis as part of a condition called asbestosis. Aside from symptoms such as shortness of breath due to the formation of scar tissue in the lungs, the increased stiffness and decreased diameter of blood vessels in the lungs means...

Fine silicate dust from pulverised rock would have stayed in the atmosphere for 15 years, dropping global temperatures by up to 15 degrees Celsius, researchers said in a study in the journal Nature Geoscience....

Somewhere along the line, the observation was made that the hallucinogenic compounds, hyoscine in particular — also known as scopolamine — could be absorbed through sweat glands in the armpit or via the mucus membranes of the rectum or vaginal area. As compared to eating the plants or drinking their extracts, axial, rectal...

Damning silicosis report calls for world-first ban on deadly engineered stone —will governments listen?...

Confirming that psoriasis is not caused by any somatic mutations enables researchers to continue to explore other avenues....

Refuweegee is a community-led charity that gives people a way to welcome and embrace those newest to arrive. We strive to ensure that people who have been forced to flee their homes arrive in Scotland to a warm welcome and some of the things that will help them to feel more at home here....

NASA plans to use Voyager 2 as a testbed for the update. If all goes according to plan, it will also send the patch to Voyager 1, which is currently more than 15 billion miles away from Earth, thus making its data even more valuable than that of Voyager 2.
