Several enormous Megalodon vertebrae thought to have been destroyed in 1989 were found sitting unnoticed on a museum shelf. Their analysis strengthens evidence that the giant shark could exceed 24 meters (79 feet) in len...

For the first time, scientists have directly observed a 150-year-old predicted phenomenon on the sun's surface that could explain why the sun's atmosphere is far hotter than its surface.

Beginning around age 50, the brains memory center appears to lose many of its longtime immune cells and replace them with more inflammatory ones. This surprising shift may help explain how normal aging sets the stage for...

Researchers will hunt for antibodies in the blood of people who lived past 100, drank heavily, or smoked-but avoided cancer. The post Why Do Some People Never Get Cancer? The Answer May Be in Their Blood appeared first o...

Depression in older adults is tied to volume reduction in the CA23DG hippocampal subfield, independent of Alzheimer's biomarkers.

Live Science spoke with professor of civil and environmental engineering Amir AghaKouchak about the reasons behind the Caspian Sea's stark decline over the past three decades.

A new study delivers the first gapless marmoset genome, mapping 76 Alzheimer's-linked genes and novel PSEN1 variants.

Supercontinuum light sources-often called "white lasers" because they emit a broad, continuous rainbow of colors-are essential tools for everything from advanced medical imaging to environmental gas detection. Ho...

ChatGPT can generate validated personality questionnaires from texts like the DSM-5 and accurately predict human population responses before surveys are administered.

Carbon savings from driving EVs are so large that it makes sense to scrap a working petrol car to make the switch

The Food and Drug Administration's approval of an mRNA vaccine for flu comes after the agency initially refused to review the approval request for the shot.

A new study introduces the Reproductive Resilience Hypothesis, reframing female reproductive biology as an evolutionary driver of longevity and multi-organ healthspan.
