One of the most important, yet least understood, concepts in all of physics.

Observations of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos have shown that they mostly originate from extragalactic sources such as active galaxies. However, gamma ray observations show bright emission from within the Milky Way galaxy, and astrophysical gamma rays and neutrinos are expected to be produced by the same physical...

Generations have been stereotyped in so many ways—from being quiet quitters to narcissists. But maybe it isn't a generational thing after all.

Do fruit flies remember their larval lives? To find out, scientists made the neurons inside larvae glow, then tracked how they reshuffled as they formed adult brains.

RNA for the first time recovered from an extinct species A new study shows the isolation and sequencing of more than a century-old RNA molecules from a Tasmanian tiger specimen preserved at room temperature in a museum collection. This resulted in the reconstruction of skin and skeletal muscle transcriptomes from an extinct...

Nasa's James Webb Telescope may have discovered a molecule thought only to be produced by life.

New research finds that sleep can be most efficient and restful for older adults when nighttime bedroom ambient temperature ranges between 68 to 77°F.

Researchers have discovered that trapping light in specific magnetic materials can greatly amplify their properties, offering potential innovations like magnetic lasers and a fresh perspective on optically controlled magnetic memory. A groundbreaking study conducted by Vinod M. Menon and his team

EG.5, which is unofficially nicknamed Eris, has already become the most prevalent variant in the U.S.

In May, Mallory became the first patient to give birth via uterus transplant outside of a clinical trial.

Science fiction is rife with fanciful tales of deadly organisms emerging from the ice and wreaking havoc on unsuspecting human victims.

Adding a type of methane-inhibiting red algae directly to cow feces cut down methane emission from the poop by about 44 percent, researchers report.

The death gap between Democrats and Republicans was larger in counties with lower vaccination rates.

For the first time, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has produced an image of the Milky Way using neutrinos—tiny, ghostlike astronomical messengers with energies millions to billions of times higher than those produced by the fusion reactions that power stars

European space probe will capture images that will provide insights about what the universe is made of

When we think of accents, what comes to mind is usually a variation of voices in human language

Microplastics have been found in more than 50 percent of the fat clusters of the blocked arteries

Humans, despite their numerous remarkable traits, lack a feature common to most vertebrates - a tail. The reason behind this absence has long been a

Conventional wisdom would have us believe the journey to a long and healthy life begins with 10,000 steps.

A distant comet trapped in orbit between Saturn and Uranus is accompanied by a transforming disk of icy dust, new observations reveal.

Roland Griffiths spent the later stage of his career exploring the ways that psychedelic drugs, specifically psilocybin, could help patients with depression, addiction issues and even terminal cancer.

Neuron activity shows that the brain uses different systems for counting up to four, and for five or more....

Sticking out your tongue while doing delicate work with your hands reveals a history of evolutionary relationships.

We’ll eventually understand how these sounds are created and how they get to your ears, but we have to start by talking about the medium that is most commonly associated with sound – air.
