Created using data from two extensive surveys, this spectacular radio image of the galactic plane of the Milky Way provides valuable insights into the birth and death of stars.

NASA and Lockheed Martins X-59 "quiet" supersonic plane flew for the first time in October. Its a major step towards reintroducing commercial supersonic flight in the United States.

A new blood pressure calculator built on extensive clinical trial data helps doctors accurately estimate how much each medication will reduce blood pressure. The tool simplifies complex treatment choices and replaces unr...

New research reveals that trait shyness is linked to reduced spontaneous neural activity in the cerebellum, a brain region traditionally associated with motor control but increasingly recognized for its role in emotion a...

Archaeologists have discovered a ram-shaped tea pot and one of the oldest old wine presses in the world that date to the time of the Canaanites during the Bronze Age.

Scientists have discovered a never-before-seen antibiotic that shows promising in treating drug-resistant infections.

A hospital in Thailand created a quick-action dialysis protocol for patients with metformin-associated lactic acidosis, a dangerous reaction to a common diabetes drug. The program sharply reduced deaths and sped up treat...

Millions struggle with depression and anxiety, often enduring long waits for effective treatment. Scientists in Sweden, Denmark, and Germany are developing a genetic test to predict which medications will actually work. ...

Astronomers have discovered phosphine gas in the atmosphere of an ancient brown dwarf, Wolf 1130C, using the James Webb Space Telescope. The finding is puzzling because phosphine, a potential biosignature, has been missi...

Even without brains, creatures like jellyfish and sea anemones can learn from experience.

Researchers from the University of Vienna discovered MISO bacteria that use iron minerals to oxidize toxic sulfide, creating energy and producing sulfate. This biological process reshapes how scientists understand global...

Deep beneath the ocean, scientists uncovered thriving microbial life in one of Earths harshest environments-an area with a pH of 12, where survival seems nearly impossible. Using lipid biomarkers instead of DNA, research...

In Death Valleys relentless heat, Tidestromia oblongifolia doesnt just survive-it thrives. Michigan State University scientists discovered that the plant can quickly adjust its photosynthetic machinery to endure extreme ...

NASAs Cassini mission has revealed surprising heat flow at Enceladus north pole, showing the moon releases energy from both ends. This balance of heat could allow its subsurface ocean to remain liquid for billions of yea...

Stanford scientists found that strontium titanate improves its performance when frozen to near absolute zero, showing extraordinary optical and mechanical behavior. Its nonlinear and piezoelectric properties make it idea...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect originates in the materials...

A team at the University of Stuttgart has engineered a compact short-pulse laser that achieves up to 80% efficiency-far surpassing current models. Their new multipass design reuses light within a small crystal, combining...
