Scientists have confirmed that a mysterious Utah earthquake first detected in 1979 really did occur nearly 90 kilometers underground--far deeper than anyone thought earthquakes could happen beneath a continent. By reanalyzing decades of seismic data, ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence that autism may include at least two biologically distinct subtypes, each marked by a different pattern of brain communication. By combining brain scans from nearly 1,000 people with autism with insights from 20 ...

A newly identified protein may be one of the biggest obstacles holding CAR T-cell therapy back. Researchers found that NFIL3 causes these engineered immune cells to become exhausted and lose their cancer-fighting power over time. When NFIL3 was ...

A major study suggests that some of the groundwork for brain development may be shaped before birth through a surprising partnership between a baby's genes and gut microbes. Researchers found that epigenetic changes present at birth can influence how ...

A massive global analysis found that nitrogen pollution can either speed up or dramatically slow the natural "breathing" of forest soils, depending on the ecosystem's condition. The results reveal hidden tipping points that could affect how forests . ...

Scientists are venturing into the Grand Canyon's hidden cave networks to solve a mystery: how snowmelt travels underground to supply the park's vital springs. Their discoveries could help protect the canyon's water from drought, contamination, and .. ...

Deer keds rely on flight and vision to find a host, but everything changes once they land. After shedding their wings forever, these parasites reduce the activity of key vision-related genes by about half. Scientists believe they are effectively ...

Astronomers have finally cracked the mystery behind a strange class of repeating cosmic signals that has baffled scientists for years. Using Australia's ASKAP radio telescope, researchers traced the bursts to a rare stellar duo in which a dense white ...

Researchers found that social behavior begins in the brain before it becomes visible as movement. In zebrafish, a coordinated pattern of activity spread across the brain several seconds before the animals approached another fish. A higher brain ...

A surprising new study suggests that when it comes to pancreatic cancer, the kind of fat you eat may matter more than how much. Researchers found that oleic acid--the main fat in olive oil and several other common foods--sped up tumor growth in mice ...
