Scientists have created synthetic soft surfaces with tongue-like textures for the first time using 3D printing, opening new possibilities for testing oral processing properties of…
New research is helping to explain one of the big questions that has perplexed astrophysicists for the past 30 years — what causes the changing…
Meltwater lakes that form at glacier margins cause ice to recede much further and faster compared to glaciers that terminate on land, according to a…
A global analysis reveals for the first time that across almost all tree species, fast-growing trees have shorter lifespans. This international study further calls into…
Glaciers in the Southern Alps of New Zealand have lost more ice mass since pre-industrial times than remains today, according to a new study. Research…
A new study by the University of Leeds and University of California at San Diego reveals that changes in the direction of the Earth’s magnetic…
Drugs that were developed to treat Alzheimer’s Disease could be re-purposed to prevent — or even reverse — the damage done to the blood vessels…
A new study shows for the first time that the collapse of terrestrial ecosystems during Earth’s most deadly mass extinction event was directly responsible for…
An artificial intelligence (AI) system analyzing data from the Gaia space telescope has identified more than 2,000 large protostars, young stars that are still forming…
Growing consumption of energy and fossil fuels over four decades did not play a significant role in increasing life expectancy across 70 countries. New research,…
First research into impact of wash cycle times shows benefits of shorter, cooler washes. Those nice new clothes you got might just last longer, thanks…
Scientists working at the frontier of nanotechnology face huge challenges. The position of a single atom in a material can change the fundamental properties of…
The ability of the world’s tropical forests to remove carbon from the atmosphere is decreasing, according to a study tracking 300,000 trees over 30 years,…
Researchers have made a breakthrough in the control of terahertz quantum cascade lasers, which could lead to the transmission of data at the rate of…
Greenland is losing ice seven times faster than in the 1990s and is tracking the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s high-end climate warming scenario, which…
An international team of researchers led by the University of Leeds have revealed for the first time that Amazon forests with the greatest evolutionary diversity…
Astronomers using one of the most advanced radio telescopes have discovered a rare molecule in the dust and gas disc around a young star —…
Astronomers have discovered a binary star system with the closest high-mass young stellar objects ever measured, providing a valuable “laboratory” to test theories on high-mass…
