New research offers evidence that humans — and the rest of life on Earth — may have been able to form with the right combination…
Astronomers using ESA’s XMM-Newton space observatory have probed the gas-filled haloes around galaxies in a quest to find ‘missing’ matter thought to reside there, but…
The first stars in the universe blazed to life about 200 to 400 million years after the big bang. Observing those very first individual stars…
Since the 1960s, researchers have been interested in the possibility of treating type 1 diabetes by transplanting islet cells — the pancreatic cells that are…
Pulmonary hypertension is a type of high blood pressure that affects blood vessels in the lungs. Once diagnosed, patients have limited treatment options, and many…
Our Sun provides the light and heat that energizes our plants, our solar panels and our weather, among other things. But its influence stretches over…
Analysis of gravitational lensing data by an international research team reveals that the evolution of galaxy clusters is dictated by a surprisingly simple law, which…
An overactive immune system during childhood among young people in Ecuador’s indigenous Shuar population comes with a cost: stunted growth. That was the key finding…
Young scientists from ITMO University have explained how neutron stars generate intense directed radio emission. They developed a model based on the transitions of particles…
An international team of physicists has managed for the first time to experimentally observe a transition between two different states of matter: a propagating polariton-soliton…
Using a machine-learning system known as a deep neural network, MIT researchers have created the first model that can replicate human performance on auditory tasks…
Astronomers are beginning to understand what happens when black holes get the urge to roam the Milky Way. Typically, a supermassive black hole (SMBH) exists…
Researchers from Yale University have completed the first end-to-end quantum data transmission ever done on demand using novel “pitch-and-catch” technologies. Yale’s latest work expanding the…
Saturn’s rings display their subtle colors in this view captured on August 22, 2009, by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. The particles that make up the rings…
Hydrogen sulfide, the gas that gives rotten eggs their distinctive odor, permeates the upper atmosphere of the planet Uranus – as has been long debated,…
Today’s peace symbols go back to antiquity – According to archaeologists, peace images were widespread, especially during wars, despite glorification of war – Oldest peace…
A ‘deep learning’ algorithm trained on images from cosmological simulations has been surprisingly successful at classifying real galaxies in Hubble images. A machine learning method…
