Traditional weight‑loss methods often don’t deliver lasting results, so researchers are searching for new answers. One ...

Saturn’s system is mainly shaped by Titan, its largest moon, which is moving outward rapidly due to tidal forces within Saturn. A new study led by SETI Institute scientist Matija Ćuk suggests that ...

Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), a minimally invasive surgery that reduces tumor size, may help prepare recurrent high-grade astrocytomas to respond better to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

When a massive star runs out of fuel, its core collapses. This collapse releases a flood of neutrinos, which push a shock wave outward through the star’s layers. If the shock is strong enough, it ...

The Universe is continually expanding, and scientists measure its expansion rate, the Hubble Constant, using two main methods: electromagnetic methods (using light from stars, galaxies, or supernovae) ...

Researchers have been exploring different ways to improve memory, from mental training exercises to nutritional changes. A new study by University of California, Irvine (UCI) researchers found a ...

The sicky theory of life’s origins.

Imagine a type of matter where particles are arranged in a neat crystal pattern but can flow without friction. This peculiar state is called a supersolid, requiring particles to share a common phase ...

Lucid dreams occur when a person is aware they are dreaming while still in the dream state. This phenomenon happens during REM sleep and has numerous potential applications, from solving physiological ...

The Siwaliks, part of the outer Himalayas, span Pakistan, India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Fossils found here reveal a rich diversity of mammals that lived between 18 million and 1 million years ago. These ...

Neurons and their branch extensions known as dendrites are featured within a mouse’s cerebral cortex. How does the brain encode new information, like job tasks or song lyrics? Scientists at the ...
