An international group of researchers has developed a new technique that could be used to make more efficient low-cost light-emitting materials that are flexible and…
Scientists from Cambridge University and NTU Singapore have found that slow-motion collisions of tectonic plates drag more carbon into Earth’s interior than previously thought. They…
A ball of 4,000-year-old hair frozen in time tangled around a whalebone comb led to the first ever reconstruction of an ancient human genome just…
The average body size of humans has fluctuated significantly over the last million years and is strongly linked to temperature. Colder, harsher climates drove the…
While autistic individuals are less likely to use substances, those who do so are more likely to self-medicate for their mental health symptoms, according…
Researchers have developed a simple lab-based technique that allows them to look inside lithium-ion batteries and follow lithium ions moving in real time as the…
The period preceding the emergence of behaviorally modern humans was characterized by dramatic climatic and environmental variability – it is these pressures, occurring over hundreds…
Researchers Identify Trigger for “Head-to-Tail” Axis Development in Human Embryo Scientists have identified key molecular events in the developing human embryo between days 7 and…
Researchers have identified two subgroups of adolescents who self-harm and have shown that it is possible to predict those individuals at greatest risk almost a…
The White-tailed Swallow, Hirundo megaensis, and Ethiopian Bush-crow, Zavattariornis stresemanni, are living in ‘climatic lifeboats’ with their tiny ranges restricted on all sides by temperature…
Graphene can be used for ultra-high density hard disk drives (HDD), with up to a tenfold jump compared to current technologies, researchers at the Cambridge…
Astronomers have spotted a giant ‘blinking’ star towards the center of the Milky Way, more than 25,000 light years away. An international team of astronomers…
Researchers have created a plant-based, sustainable, scalable material that could replace single-use plastics in many consumer products. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, created…
Researchers studying how we make moral judgments found that people more concerned about catching COVID-19 were more disapproving of the wrong-doings of others, whatever they…
The first double-blind experiment analyzing the role of human decision-making in climate reconstructions has found that it can lead to substantially different results. The experiment,…
A team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge and University of Utrecht examined trends in daily crime counts before and after COVID-19 restrictions…
Researchers have used a technique similar to MRI to follow the movement of individual atoms in real time as they cluster together to form two-dimensional…
Bamboo cricket bats are stronger, offer a better ‘sweet spot’ and deliver more energy to the ball than those made from traditional willow, tests conducted…
