The Toba supereruption 74,000 years ago was so massive it may have plunged Earth into years of darkness and cold, leading some scientists to believe humanity nearly went extinct. Yet archaeological evidence from Africa and Asia suggests early humans ...

Scientists have pulled off a mind-bending quantum experiment that sounds almost impossible: they showed that tiny metal particles made of thousands of atoms can exist in multiple places at once. Using advanced laser techniques, researchers at the ...

NASA's Psyche spacecraft is about to pull off a dramatic close flyby of Mars, skimming just 2,800 miles above the planet to get a powerful gravitational boost on its journey to the mysterious metal-rich asteroid Psyche. The maneuver will save ...

NASA's Curiosity rover had an unexpectedly stubborn Mars souvenir after drilling into a rock nicknamed "Atacama" -- the entire chunk ripped loose from the ground and stayed stuck to the rover's drill. Engineers watched as Curiosity shook, vibrated, . ...

An ancient Chinese exercise routine may be just as powerful as a daily brisk walk for lowering blood pressure -- without equipment, gyms, or intense workouts. In a major clinical trial, adults with stage 1 hypertension who practiced baduanjin, a ...

A team at the University of Hong Kong has developed a new "super steel" that can survive the harsh conditions needed to make green hydrogen from seawater. The material uses an unexpected double-protection mechanism that resists corrosion far better . ...

Scientists at the University of Rochester pulled off a remarkable experiment: they transferred a longevity-related gene from the famously long-lived naked mole rat into mice, and the mice ended up healthier and lived longer. The special gene boosts . ...

Scientists have uncovered a striking brain difference linked to psychopathy: people with psychopathic traits were found to have a striatum -- a brain region tied to reward, motivation, and decision-making -- that was about 10% larger on average than ...
