Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way to control superconductivity -- the mysterious phenomenon where electricity flows with zero energy loss. By pairing twisted layers of graphene with a synthetic diamond material, researchers were able to ...

Scientists say moons around rogue planets wandering through the galaxy could remain warm enough for life thanks to tidal heating and hydrogen-rich atmospheres. These dark, starless worlds may have had stable oceans for billions of years -- long ...

Feeling constantly drained might not just be about poor sleep or working too hard. Researchers in Japan found that low levels of key vitamins -- especially vitamin B12 and folate -- may quietly contribute to fatigue and lack of motivation, even in .. ...

Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny muscle contractions. They discovered that human neurons gradually lose their ability to regrow after damage during ...

Scientists have solved the mystery of the Seychelles' vanished crocodiles using DNA from historic museum specimens. The reptiles were not a unique species after all, but an isolated population of saltwater crocodiles that likely drifted thousands of ...

Tiny birds on remote Scottish islands are undergoing a dramatic evolutionary transformation. Scientists studying four isolated populations of British Wrens discovered that some island birds have grown astonishingly large -- with the biggest St Kilda ...

Researchers are developing a futuristic alternative to LASIK that reshapes the eye without lasers or incisions. Using mild electrical pulses and platinum contact lenses, they temporarily soften the cornea so it can be molded into a new shape. Early . ...

For more than a century, pianists and music teachers have argued over whether a performer's touch can actually change the tone color of a piano note -- and now scientists say the answer is yes. Using a cutting-edge sensor system that tracked piano .. ...

When the body runs low on protein, the gut sends powerful signals to the brain that reshape cravings and push animals to seek essential amino acids instead of sugar. Researchers say this newly discovered gut-brain network could transform our ...

A sea slug smaller than a sesame seed has turned up in Taiwan's coastal waters -- and it's so tiny and unusual that scientists realized they had discovered a completely new species. Named Thecacera sesama after its black-and-yellow "sesame-like" ...
