The picoRing device ditches Bluetooth for a novel magnetic relay system linked to a wristband, slashing its power consumption to mere microwatts.

New research shows that dark matter has a different distribution in our galaxy than previously thought, and that advances dark matter's status as a potential source of the observed gamma ray excess in the Milky Way&#...

Groundbreaking research shows that as men age, harmful genetic mutations in sperm become more common-not just from random chance, but because some are naturally favored. Advanced sequencing revealed dozens of genes under...

A new photonics chip that generates multicolored laser beams could supercharge data center technology and ease the strain of AI's surging data demands.

An analysis of patient records suggests that mRNA covid-19 vaccines boost the immune response to cancerous tumours when given soon after people start a type of immunotherapy, extending their lives

Researchers analyzed changes over time in the ratio of small earthquakes to bigger ones beneath Mount Etna and found a strong correlation with the volcano's activity over the past 20 years.

Simple physics may explain how the Easter Island statues could "walk" miles with only a handful of people, but the debate over their transport is far from over.

A new drug combo of enzalutamide and hormone therapy has been shown to extend survival for men with recurring prostate cancer, reducing death risk by over 40%. The study followed more than 1,000 patients worldwide and wa...

A groundbreaking study reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically longer than those who didnt. Researchers from the University of Florid...

Mars north polar vortex locks its atmosphere in extreme cold and darkness, freezing out water vapor and triggering a dramatic rise in ozone. Scientists found that the lack of sunlight and moisture lets ozone build up unc...

Researchers from NTNU and EPFL have unveiled a compact, low-cost laser that outperforms current models in speed, control, and precision. Built using microchip technology, it can be mass-produced for use in everything fro...

Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) makes its closest approach to Earth on Oct. 21, about 24 hours after the fainter Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2) does the same. Here's how, where and when to see them both.

For the first time ever, astronomers revealed the birthplace of an energetic jet blasted by a newborn star using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile.

The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems is a key objective of quantum physics research, as it can help to test the predictions of physics theories and yield new valuable insight. Researchers at Quantinuu...

Researchers discovered the gene that gives a rare wheat variety its unusual triple-grain trait. When switched on, the gene helps wheat flowers produce extra grain-bearing parts. The finding could allow scientists to grow...

How do we go from sound asleep to awake in the blink of an eye?

Scientists have found a new way to stop cancer growth without damaging healthy cells. Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute and Vividion Therapeutics discovered a compound that blocks the signal telling cancer cel...

Researchers found that triple-negative breast cancer cells are addicted to lipids, a feature tied to obesity. By studying mice, they discovered that high lipid levels alone accelerate tumor growth. Lowering these fats sl...

Both regular and diet soft drinks may be far worse for liver health than believed. A massive study of over 120,000 participants found that consuming more than one can a day of either sugar-sweetened or low/no-sugar bever...
