A new analysis of more than 422,000 patients reveals a stark Alzheimers care gap between Marylands urban and rural communities. Rural regions often lack hospitals and dementia specialists, forcing older patients to trave...

Global warming has picked up speed in the past decade, according to a new analysis from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). By removing short term natural influences such as El Niño, volcanic erupti...

Scientists use a new "long-read" technology to find the hidden genetic mutations behind autism that traditional tests missed.

A new paper makes the strange case for prime numbers at the heart of physics.

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a nuclear metabolic fingerprint. Some of th...

The ancient coin was probably minted in what is now Spain in the first century B.C., but no one knows why it was used to pay a 1950s transport fare.

US-Israeli strikes on oil facilities have caused black rain to fall on Tehran, but the black smoke filling the air is likely to be a bigger health risk

Epileptic seizures alter sleep by prolonging the stage that's central to memory formation, potentially predisposing the brain to "remember" how to trigger subsequent seizures more easily, a small human study ...

Scientists reveal that star-shaped astrocytes are the secret to why we get more coordinated as we reach adulthood.

Exercise normally boosts the bodys ability to use oxygen, a key marker of health and longevity - but high blood sugar can block that benefit. Researchers found that a ketogenic diet helped mice normalize blood sugar and ...

Scientists discover that your auditory system can distinguish AI voices from human ones, even when you're consciously fooled.

The search for materials that can conduct electricity at room temperature without losing energy is one of the greatest and most consequential challenges of modern physics: loss-free power transmission, more efficient mot...

Controlling light with light is a long-sought goal for computing and communication technologies. Achieving this capability would allow optical signals to be processed without converting them into electrical signals, pote...
