Scientists have discovered a new effect in two-dimensional conductive systems that promises improved performance of terahertz detectors. A recent physics discovery in two-dimensional conductive systems…
Researchers settle fierce debate surrounding ‘Thunder bird’ species, and whether its eggs were exploited by early Australian people around 50,000 years ago. Proteins extracted from…
Researchers have developed a low-cost device that can selectively capture carbon dioxide gas while it charges. Then, when it discharges, the CO2 can be released…
Watching too much TV is linked with an increased risk of coronary heart disease regardless of an individual’s genetic makeup, says a team of researchers…
New research led by the University of Cambridge is the first to obtain a detailed ‘image’ of an unusual pocket of rock at the boundary…
A study of the propaganda that flooded Donbas for years reveals a failure to build pro-Russian “in-group” identities in the region, despite Vladimir Putin’s claims…
Algae-Powered Computing Scientists used a widespread species of blue-green algae to power a microprocessor continuously for a year — and counting — using nothing but…
Cognitive impairment as a result of severe COVID-19 is similar to that sustained between 50 and 70 years of age and is the equivalent to…
It’s commonly claimed that a little stress can be beneficial for you. Scientists have now demonstrated that the same may be true for cells, uncovering…
The number of fires inside protected conservation areas across the island of Madagascar shot up dramatically when COVID-19 lockdowns led to the suspension of any…
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Fudan University say seven hours is the ideal amount of sleep for people in their middle age and…
While many people around the world just finished unwrapping their Easter eggs, scientists have solved one of nature’s biggest criminal cases, an egg forgery scandal…
Scientists have produced a map showing where the world’s major food crops should be grown to maximize yield and minimize environmental impact. This would capture…
Defective mitochondria – the ‘batteries’ that power the cells of our bodies – could in the future be repaired using gene-editing techniques. Scientists at the…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is on the cusp of driving an agricultural revolution, and helping confront the challenge of feeding our growing global population in a…
One in three young people say their mental health and wellbeing improved during COVID-19 lockdown measures, with potential contributing factors including feeling less lonely, avoiding…
Eating wild-caught fish instead of using it as feed in salmon farming would allow nearly four million tonnes of fish to be left in the…
Researchers have developed a new method to display highly realistic holographic images using ‘holobricks’ that can be stacked together to generate large-scale holograms. The researchers,…
