Among the most fundamental questions in astronomy is: How did the first stars and galaxies form? NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is already providing new insights into this question. One of the ...

Researchers have found that the ability to visually predict movement may be an important part of the ability to make a great catch -- or grab a moving object. Have you ever made a great catch -- like ...

Mycorrhizal fungi are responsible for holding up to 36 per cent of yearly global fossil fuel emissions below ground -- more than China emits each year. Fungi stores a third of carbon from fossil fuel ...

A delicate tracery of dust and bright star clusters threads across this image from the James Webb Space Telescope. The bright tendrils of gas and stars belong to the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5068, ...

Although astrophysicists theoretically should be able to detect gravitational waves from a single, non-binary source, they have yet to uncover these elusive signals. Now researchers suggest looking at ...

A double-blind randomized clinical trial of a device aimed at silencing the phantom sounds of tinnitus has yielded promising results. Tinnitus, the ringing, buzzing or hissing sound of silence, varies ...

Scientists have shown that a new targeted therapy drug can extend the amount of time people with a subtype of glioma are on treatment without their cancer worsening. The finding suggests a possible ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the unique chemical properties of spherical molecules composed entirely of carbon atoms, called fullerenes. They did it by making flat fragments of the ...

Microscopic algae that corals need for survival harbor a common and possibly disease-causing virus in their genetic material. Microscopic algae that corals need for survival harbor a common and ...

Overall survival for patients with melanoma that has spread to the brain is only four to six months. Immunotherapies, which harness the power of the immune system to attack cancer cells, have garnered ...

Researchers show that an evolutionary change in the length of lizards' legs can have a significant impact on vegetation growth and spider populations on small islands in the Bahamas. This is one of ...

Researchers have demonstrated the principle of using spatial correlations in quantum entangled beams of light to encode information and enable its secure transmission. Researchers at the University of ...
