Scientists, including those from The Australian National University (ANU), say they have detected a black hole swallowing a neutron star for the first time. “About…
A team at Scripps Research in Florida has discovered a biological system that manages cells’ response to opioid drug exposure. The unexpected discovery offers new…
Atomically thin materials developed by Stanford researchers could create heat-shields for cell phones or laptops that would protect people and temperature-sensitive components and make future…
Stanford engineers have developed experimental stickers that pick up physiological signals emanating from the skin, then wirelessly beam these health readings to a receiver clipped…
Scientists develop solution processable ferroelectric nylons. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) led by Dr. Kamal Asadi have solved a four-decade long…
Illinois and SLAC researchers use a new technique. One of the greatest mysteries in condensed matter physics is the exact relationship between charge order and…
A renegade star exploding in a distant galaxy has forced astronomers to set aside decades of research and focus on a new breed of supernova…
Jupiter’s core may still be reeling from collision 4.5 billion years ago. A colossal, head-on collision between Jupiter and a still-forming planet in the early…
Fossilized flies that lived 54 million years ago have revealed a surprising twist to the tale of how insects’ eyes evolved. These craneflies, unveiled in…
A team of physicists has uncovered a new state of matter—a breakthrough that offers promise for increasing storage capabilities in electronic devices and enhancing quantum…
Consuming flavonoid-rich items such as apples and tea protects against cancer and heart disease, particularly for smokers and heavy drinkers, according to new research from…
To understand the most ordinary matter in the universe — and the extraordinary things that happen to it — a Yale-led team of astronomers took…
The effect of being overweight and obesity on risk of cancer is at least twice as large as previously thought according to new findings by…
First cells on ancient Earth may have emerged because building blocks of proteins stabilized membranes. Life on Earth arose about 4 billion years ago when…
In a paper published today scientists have studied the Vela Pulsar, a neutron star in the southern sky, that is 1,000 light years away. Neutron…
The dramatic loss of Arctic sea ice through climate change has only a “minimal influence” on severe cold winter weather across Asia and North America,…
Experiments in quantum physics confirm theoretically predicted deviation. Many phenomena of the natural world evidence symmetries in their dynamic evolution which help researchers to better…
