Eight healthy babies have been born in the UK using DNA from three people, an IVF breakthrough that prevents inherited ...

Researchers have discovered that deep-sea fish generate carbonate minerals at rates similar to shallow species, confirming ...

Sandia hopes to help change that. It recently became the first national lab to join the U.S. National Semiconductor ...

UCSF researchers have pinpointed a crucial brain receptor that helps immune cells called microglia clear out toxic amyloid ...

Glaciers, nature’s slow-moving sculptors, are reshaping our planet in ways we can now measure with unprecedented precision.

However, the brain processes these cues in distinct ways. With real faces, our attention is drawn mainly to the eyes and where they are looking. With pareidolia, we tend to take in the overall ...

Studying over 100 freshly donated eggs, scientists discovered that slowing protein breakdown helps minimize harmful byproducts that could damage DNA. The eggs also perform a last-minute “spring ...

Marine heatwaves engulfed 96% of the world’s oceans in 2023, breaking records for duration, intensity, and scale. Scientists warn these events could be early signs of a destabilizing climate system.

Now, researchers using the first-ever quantum-mechanical simulations of these materials have uncovered why they exist: they are fundamentally stable, not fleeting accidents of rapid cooling. The ...

Researchers are developing a thorium-229 nuclear clock so sensitive it could detect the faint, wave-like effects of dark matter, potentially solving one of physics’ greatest mysteries.

New research reveals that reducing cysteine, an amino acid, can flip fat from storage mode to calorie-burning mode. In both human trials and animal studies, lower cysteine levels sparked the ...

Satellites show the world’s continents are drying fast, with groundwater loss now outpacing glacier melt in driving sea level ...
