Fossilized dinosaur bones from Wyoming are offering a rare glimpse into the feeding behavior of Tyrannosaurus rex. Researchers examined more than 3,000 bones dating back 72 to 66 million years and found just 12 with poss...

People appear to prefer short stories created by AI over those written by humans. They are also no better than chance at telling which is which

It has been assumed for decades that tick and flea treatments for pets pose no threat to wildlife or people, but theres growing evidence that we have got it wrong

IBC-Ab002, an anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy targeting systemic immune aging, is safe and reduces markers of neuronal damage in Alzheimer's patients.

Researchers designed a material that can independently control how it absorbs and emits heat, and it even retains those settings once the power is turned off.

A new study using PET imaging reveals that 65% of patients with late-onset psychosis exhibit tau protein buildup in the brain, linking midlife hallucinations and delusions to underlying neurodegeneration.

Sophia Space and Caltech want to fold the bulky parts of a space-based data center-solar cells and radiators-into all-in-one tiles with chips. The post Heat Is an Orbital Data Centers Greatest Foe. These Tiles Dump It at...

Researchers developed a 3D human brain tissue model incorporating neurons, astrocytes, and microglia that replicates Alzheimer's plaque clearance, paving the way for automated high-throughput drug testing.

Scientists developed a "cell village" culture method and the Townlet statistical model to track neural stem cell growth and neurotoxin vulnerability across genetically diverse donors, linking 16p11.2 deletion to ...

One of the most famous and intriguing results of quantum mechanics is the finding that fundamental particles, such as electrons, cannot be pinned down to one single location. Instead, a particle is described by its "...

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are often described as a "fifth state of matter": a quantum state in which many particles lose their individual identities and behave as one collective object. For more than 60 ye...

Thousands of skeletal human remains have been discovered with their brain tissue unexpectedly intact. Now, a team of scientists may have finally figured out why.

Scientists from Rice University in the U.S. have developed a way to precisely tune the temperature inside a trapped-ion simulator. The breakthrough means they will be able to run quantum simulations at precise temperatur...

Researchers have confirmed that a plant native to alpine regions in southwest China is carnivorous, supporting a Darwinian theory from 1875.

An upcoming collision of a Falcon 9 rocket part with the moon may be visible from Earth with telescopes, new research suggests. Here's what scientists and skywatchers are hoping to see.

Even when the lights go out and nuclear reactors are turned off, the story inside the reactor core still has a great deal to tell. Radioactive, long-lived fission products continue to decay for months or even years, prod...

Live Science spoke with climate change researcher Jong-Seong Kug about how a super El Niño could cause lasting damage to our world.

Botanists have finally proved what Charles Darwin was unable to nail down - that a genus of plants known to catch insects also digests them, suggesting the extent of plant carnivory has been underestimated

A few years ago, psychologist Sherman Lee experienced a "grief attack". When he set out to study them, he discovered just how powerful and all-consuming grief can be

From which diets work best to the ethics of octopus farming, heres Liz Elses round-up of the most interesting popular science books published this month

Using a combination of laser cooling techniques and strong magnetic fields, researchers at Colorado State University have for the first time created an ultracold neutral plasma with electrons cooled to temperatures measu...

Modern photonic chips can pack sophisticated optical functions onto devices smaller than a fingernail. They are increasingly used to generate, manipulate and measure light for applications ranging from communications to ...
