Traumatic experiences can cause memory problems, and estrogen may be a key factor that shapes the brain's resilience against such stressors, a mouse study finds.

Coals share has nearly halved over the last five years, while solar's has more than doubled. But tariffs and permitting delays could slow growth in the years ahead. The post Solar Beat Coal in US Electricity Mix for ...

Altering tiny fragments of neuronal genes, known as microexons, triggers a state of permanent hyperarousal and profound insomnia.

Older mice that received a faecal microbiome transplant from younger animals went on to have improved brain plasticity, which suggests their brains could overcome a neurological condition that is typically successfully t...

Something is absorbing light on the surfaces of Pluto and Saturns moon Titan, and figuring out what it is could be crucial to understanding Titans complex chemistry

A new study revealed that hundreds of diverse genetic causes of autism converge on shared molecular pathways.

Efficiency ratings on portable air conditioners dont give consumers the full picture, and one type of aircon unit is so inefficient that it should be banned, says Michael Le Page

Researchers have captured first-of-its-kind footage of a wolf attack on European bison in the Bialowieza Primeval Forest. The recording shifts our understanding of predator-prey interactions in this region.

Carbon monoxide in Uranus's deep atmosphere indicates that the planet contains more ice than rock, suggesting it formed more like Neptune than we thought

Superfluids are intriguing states of matter in which particles behave like a giant collective wave, allowing them to flow without any friction. When this fluid flows past a fixed obstacle at a velocity below a specific t...

Our ancient four-legged ancestors didn't have an amphibian-like life cycle when they began walking on land, according to a new study of rare fossils found near Chicago.

The disruption of your gut microbiome is a major consequence, and possible cause, of ageing. Columnist Graham Lawton looks into recent trials examining whether it can be replenished through diet and prebiotics, probiotic...

Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables may not be enough if you're missing foods rich in flavanols, a group of compounds linked to better heart health. Researchers found that choices like blackberries, plums, ...

Researchers developed a Wordle-solving strategy that succeeds 99% of the time by focusing on information gain rather than likely answers. The method uses Shannon entropy to identify guesses that reveal the most about the...

A newly identified molecule called OLE helped restore the brains immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimers models. The treatment reduced toxic plaque buildup and improved memory, raising hopes for a new thera...

Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced photonic platform, the team, led by Yucheng Wang and Jingyun Fan at the Southern University of Scien...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising connection between quantum gravity and an exotic quantum state of matter that could explain why the universe isnt expanding wildly fast. The study suggests that the very shape of sp...

A new biomaterial made from jackfruit latex, pomegranate peel, and simvastatin could transform the treatment of severe gum disease. Early tests suggest it not only combats infection and inflammation but may also help reb...

Researchers have created a new way to reconstruct the evolutionary history of complex plant genomes by analyzing genetic traces left by transposable elements. The technique revealed that modern strawberries were assemble...

Astronomers may be closing in on a long-standing cosmic mystery: why some of the universes biggest galaxies seem to have far fewer stars than expected. Using NASA- and JAXA-supported XRISM observations of a galaxy called...
