New research suggests that the age of the universe may be younger than previously predicted by standard cosmological models.

Brain cells communicate with fat tissue to produce cellular fuel, counteract effects of aging.

Researchers have developed the Dragon Firefighter, a flying firehose that can aid human firefighters to put out the most dangerous fires.

Using mechanical rather than statistical analysis, the team offers a new framework for understanding the climate system.

Light-induced whole-molecule vibration can rupture melanoma cells’ membrane. The method had 99% efficiency against lab cultures of human melanoma cells, and half of the mice with melanoma became cancer-free after treatment.

Scientist team shows that the human brain is capable of identifying the vocalisations of certain primate species, if they are close to us and if the frequencies used are also close to our own.

Ancient bricks inscribed with the names of Mesopotamian kings have yielded important insights into a mysterious anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field 3,000 years ago, according to a new study.

New research suggests some early Americans may have travelled on winter sea ice down the coast from Beringia as long as 24,000 years ago.

New findings confirm existence of hot helium stars long-thought to be at the heart of hydrogen-poor supernovae and neutron star mergers.

Studies in Svalbard have shown that methane is migrating beneath the permafrost. While lowland regions have ice-rich permafrost which acts as an effective seal to the gas, highland regions with less ice seem to be more permeable. If the permafrost thaws too much, greenhouse gas emissions could escape and drive temperatures even higher.

In a world-first, researchers have developed a portable, non-invasive system that can decode silent thoughts and turn them into text.

The complexity of living organisms is encoded within their genes, but where do these genes come from? Researchers resolved outstanding questions around the origin of small regulatory genes, and described a mechanism that creates their DNA palindromes.

Enceladus’ ice plumes may hold the building blocks of life.

People with close relatives who have suffered from cardiovascular disease may benefit from eating more oily fish.

A radical theory consistently unifies gravity and quantum mechanics while preserving Einstein’s classical concept of spacetime.

Astronomers has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to provide the first observation of water and other molecules in the highly irradiated inner, rocky-planet-forming regions of a disk in one of the most extreme environments in our galaxy.

More stable clocks could measure quantum phenomena, including the presence of dark matter, say MIT scientists.

New study shows potency of the greenhouse gas increases with increased concentrations.

The discovery of a planet that is far too massive for its sun is calling into question what was previously understood about the formation of planets and their solar systems.

New research links soccer heading –where players hit the ball with their head– to a measurable decline in the microstructure and function of the brain.
