The discovery indicates that epigenetic inheritance could occur more frequently than previously believed. A fundamental discovery concerning a driver of healthy development in embryos might…
A promising new non-opioid painkiller (analgesic) has been discovered, with potentially fewer side effects than other potent painkillers. A team of researchers led by scientists…
A study reveals how dinosaurs carried their massive weight. Researchers have solved a long-standing mystery by figuring out how sauropod dinosaurs, such as the Brontosaurus…
The world’s first study of more than 1200 people demonstrates how youth fitness and obesity affect cognition in middle life Better physical test results are…
In the last few years, astronomers have achieved an incredible milestone: the detection of gravitational waves, vanishingly weak ripples in the fabric of space and…
Deep Follow-up of GW151226 — an ordinary binary or a low-mass ratio merger? Now that we’ve been detecting gravitational waves (GWs), we’d like to better…
The Universe contains different “flavors” of black holes. While “stellar” mass black holes are 10-50 times the mass of our Sun, supermassive black holes are…
It sounds like the stuff of science fiction: a man-made crystal that can be attached to antibodies and then supercharge them with potent drugs or…
Uncovered: Key to How Exercise Protects Against Consequences of Aging Monash University, Australia scientists have discovered an enzyme that is key to why exercise improves…
The first evidence of the existence of black holes was found in the 1960s, when strong X-rays were detected from a system called Cygnus X-1….
Many of the heaviest stars in the Universe will end their lives in a bright explosion, known as a supernova, which briefly outshines the rest…
How common is our Solar System? Less common than we might think. A significant fraction of planetary systems around Sun-like stars have had a very…
With the growing catalog of binary black hole mergers, researchers can study the overall spin properties of these systems to uncover how they formed and…
Most people know that the land masses on which we all live represent just 30% of Earth’s surface, and the rest is covered by oceans….
World’s largest study of the impact of temperature changes and kidney disease reveals that 7.4 percent of all hospitalizations for renal disease can be attributed…
A multi-disciplinary project driven by EMBL Australia researchers at Monash University and Harvard University has found a way to make antibiotics more effective against antibiotic-resistant…
In the 2030’s, gravitational-wave detectors will be thousands of times more sensitive than Advanced LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA. The network of “third generation” (3G) observatories…
We all know being surrounded by greenery is good for the mind and soul, but can it be good for the body, too? Planetary health…
