A German town has been peppered by meteorites after a stunning "fireball" exploded in the skies over central Europe. One extraterrestrial fragment landed in a bedroom after punching a soccer ball-size hole throug...

Researchers have developed a high-tech system that rapidly scans ants and converts them into detailed 3D models. Using a synchrotron accelerator, X-ray imaging, robotics, and AI, the team scanned 2,000 specimens in just ...

A major international trial has found that daily fish oil supplements significantly reduced life-threatening cardiovascular events in dialysis patients. People who took four grams per day had a 43% lower risk of heart at...

The study focused on safety, but the results offer hope the approach could give kids a chance to walk. The post In a First, Researchers Use Stem Cells and Surgery to Treat Spina Bifida in the Womb appeared first on Singu...

The first day of spring 2026 in the Northern Hemisphere arrives with the equinox on March 20. Here's when and why the seasons change.

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a new aluminum alloy called RidgeAlloy that can turn contaminated car-body scrap into strong structural vehicle parts. Normally, impurities introduced during recyc...

Scientists discover a new type of brain cell that uses "dual-frequency" processing to separate objects from their backgrounds.

Scientists discover that the brain's "GPS" system isn't just for finding your car-its also how you navigate the complex world of your emotions.

The future for our computers will literally be at the speed of light. Extremely short light pulses can perform ultrafast logical operations: these are the findings of a study recently published in the journal Nature Phot...

A new atlas reveals that GLP-1-the backbone of blockbuster weight-loss drugs-is mapped differently in the male and female brain.

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have developed a new molecule that could open the door to treating triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat forms of the disease. T...

When New Scientist reporter James Woodford was assigned to a story about a virus designed to kill rabbits, he never expected to be accused of spreading it

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put-it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small molecule fluorometh...

Most of us dont worry about our health in old age until we get there, but research is increasingly showing that how you live in your mid-50s can have a real impact in your 90s

Researchers from the Department of Physics and the University Institute of Materials at the University of Alicante (UA) and the Low Temperature and High Magnetic Field Laboratory at the Autonomous University of Madrid (U...

Scientists develop a "brain-to-video" algorithm that reconstructs exactly what a mouse is seeing in high-quality 10-second clips.

Statistics that quantify a persons predisposition to diseases such as diabetes and cancer can be reverse-engineered to reveal the underlying genetic data, prompting privacy concerns
