Scientists have used the Gaia Space Telescope to create a 3D map of star kindergartens within the Milky Way, and you can fly through it.

Earth's core cannot be made just of iron - it also appears to contain carbon. And our research suggests it may contain a bit of oxygen and possibly silicon as well.

NASA has confirmed 6,000 exoplanets, marking a major milestone in humanitys quest to understand other worlds. From gas giants hugging their stars to planets covered in lava or clouds of gemstones, the diversity of discov...

Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice is a flexoelectric material, capable of generating electricity when bent or unevenly deformed. At very low temperatures, it can even become ferroelectric, developing reversibl...

Researchers used AlphaFold3, the latest AI-based protein modeling system, to predict the structures of all 25 known human bitter taste receptors (T2Rs). Compared with AlphaFold2, AF3 consistently generated more accurate ...

A new study shows that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is more effective than moderate exercise at protecting adolescent lab animals from cocaine use. Animals exposed to HIIT developed a preference for non-drug e...

A new study found that young boys adjusted their food intake at mealtime when they had already eaten a fruit snack, but girls did not. The findings suggest that boys are more likely to listen to their bodys signals of hu...

In Jezero Craters Bright Angel formation, Perseverance has found rocks rich in organic molecules and minerals linked to microbial metabolism. Their arrangement hints at redox reactions that resemble Earths life-driven ch...

Archaeologists found a 1,600-year-old coin hoard dating to the final Jewish revolt against Romans.

New studies reveal that lifestyle changes-such as exercise, healthy eating, and social engagement-can help slow or prevent cognitive decline. Experts say this low-cost, powerful approach could transform dementia care and...

The ancient Egyptians didn't want tomb robbers to pilfer treasures in the pyramids, so how did they stop thieves?

Duke University scientists have discovered that pancreatic alpha cells, long believed to only produce glucagon, actually generate powerful amounts of GLP-1 - the same hormone mimicked by popular diabetes drugs like semag...

Metabolism does more than fuel embryos-it sets their developmental rhythm. EMBL researchers found that a sugar molecule, FBP, controls the pace of spine formation, suggesting metabolism may act as a biological pacemaker....

Hubbles latest look at Messier 96 reveals a warped spiral galaxy glowing with rings of stellar birth. The new details shed light on how stars emerge and influence their surroundings.

Researchers at UNSW have found a way to make atomic nuclei communicate through electrons, allowing them to achieve entanglement at scales used in todays computer chips. This breakthrough brings scalable, silicon-based qu...
