Scientists have identified LHAASO J1912+1014u as a cosmic accelerator that can push protons beyond one quadrillion electron volts. The finding may help reveal where the Milky Ways most energetic cosmic rays come from and...

Unexpectedly gained free time subjectively expands in our minds, causing people to perform tasks slower and arrive late.

Ketamine and psychedelics share a neuroimmune signaling pathway involving IL-15 and IL-7, offering blood-based biomarkers to predict antidepressant response.

Researchers at Technical University of Darmstadt and the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research have succeeded for the first time in decelerating highly charged ions from the GSI accelerator to low energies and subs...

Ruthenium dioxide (RuO2) is a metal oxide that commonly serves as an important metallic conductor, quantum material and industrial electrocatalyst. While there have been debates surrounding the magnetic properties of RuO...
