Could a quick, painless tear sample someday help doctors monitor changes in the brain before major symptoms appear?

Every so often, something from beyond our Solar System passes close enough for astronomers to study. Most of the time, these objects are faint, fast-moving, and difficult to understand before they ...

A few of the deeper returning questions people engage with in conversations and discussions about cosmology relate to what happened before the big bang and what instigated the big bang in the first ...

A team of scientists at Northwestern University has developed a new method to create carbon-negative materials using seawater, electricity, and carbon dioxide (CO₂). This new process not only locks ...

Scientists at the University of Manchester and The Australian National University have created a new molecule that may soon enable ultra-compact hard drives (the size of a postage stamp) by allowing ...

Staying cool during hot summer days usually means relying on energy-intensive air conditioners. However, new materials created using machine learning and artificial intelligence promise to change this ...

Recently we made an attempt to put incomprehensible astronomical distances into a human perspective. We started by looking at the vast distances within our solar system, moving on to distances within ...

You might not have thought so, but although the Moon doesn't have breathable air, it does possess a thin, almost imperceptible atmosphere known as an 'exosphere'. Scientists have been studying this ...

During their research, the scientists observed that the post-mortem brains of Alzheimer's patients contained an excess of an enzyme known as S-acyltransferase. Higher concentrations of this enzyme ...

Microplastics are everywhere—in our water, food, and even the air we breathe. A new scientific review highlights a growing concern: microplastics and nanoplastics are accumulating in human brain ...

Imagine peering into the night sky with a powerful telescope and seeing galaxies scattered across the cosmic landscape. Some are so distant that their light has been travelling for over 13 billion ...
