A single dose of psilocybin produced measurable changes in brain activity and possible changes in brain structure that lasted for up to a month. Participants who experienced the greatest increase in flexible, varied brain activity also reported more ...

China's Chang'e-6 samples have uncovered a surprising difference between the Moon's two hemispheres. Solar wind particles penetrated deeper into the far-side soil because Earth's magnetosphere slows the particles that reach the near side. Noble gases ...

Astronomers have found the first confirmed atmosphere around a rocky planet in another star's habitable zone. The planet, LHS 1140 b, revealed its atmosphere through helium slowly leaking into space. Located 48 light-years away, the world may have .. ...

Ancient DNA from China's vast 4,000-year-old Shimao settlement is revealing how one of East Asia's earliest complex societies was organized. Researchers found that its people were largely descended from local Yellow River farming communities, but ...

A newly discovered turning point in the Sun's 11-year cycle could allow scientists to predict future solar activity years earlier than before. At this "switch-off" point, the most violent space weather abruptly ends, and the remaining number of ...

Scientists studying decades of pygmy sperm whale strandings have uncovered three previously unknown types of Helicobacter bacteria hiding in the animals' stomachs. All four infected whales showed serious digestive damage, including inflammation, ...

Scientists uncovered how influenza A commandeers human cells, including a surprising strategy that dissolves tiny structures in the nucleus and releases proteins the virus may use to reproduce. The detailed molecular map could reveal new drug targets ...

A naturally occurring compound found in foods such as wheat germ, mushrooms, and aged cheese may help older adults build stronger protection after vaccination. In a small pilot trial, researchers gave spermidine supplements to adults over 65 ...

Dying Sun-like stars may not fade away quietly. As blobs of gas erupt unevenly from their swollen surfaces, each burst gives the star a tiny push in the opposite direction. Thousands of these random kicks could eventually break apart distant stellar ...

A new theoretical study offers a possible explanation for how the Universe can grow more complex without violating the second law of thermodynamics. Using a quantum gravity framework called Gravity from Entropy, mathematician Ginestra Bianconi found ...
