A sweeping review of more than a century's research upends the popular notion that left-handers are naturally more creative. Cornell psychologist Daniel Casasanto's team sifted nearly a thousand studies, ultimately finding no consistent advantage for ...

Scientists have achieved an unprecedented look into how the human immune system attacks a transplanted pig kidney, using spatial molecular imaging to map immune activity down to the cellular level. They discovered early signs of rejection within 10 . ...

Leprosy's tale stretches from 5,000-year-old skeletons in Eurasia to a startling 4,000-year-old case in Chile, revealing that the rare strain Mycobacterium lepromatosis haunted the Americas millennia before Europeans arrived. Armed with cutting-edge ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists spotted thin and thick disks in galaxies as far back as 10 billion years ago--something never seen before. These observations reveal that galaxies first formed thick, chaotic disks, and only later ...

Footprints found in the ancient lakebeds of White Sands may prove that humans lived in North America 23,000 years ago -- much earlier than previously believed. A new study using radiocarbon-dated mud bolsters earlier findings, making it the third ...

India's complex ancestry--intertwined with Iranian farmers, Steppe herders, and local hunter-gatherers--has now been decoded through genomic data from 2,762 people. The study uncovers surprising levels of Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA, and how ...

Deleting a gene called PTEN in certain brain cells disrupts the brain's fear circuitry and triggers anxiety-like behavior in mice -- key traits seen in autism. Researchers mapped how this genetic tweak throws off the brain's delicate balance of ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that urea--an essential building block for life--could have formed on the early Earth. Instead of requiring high temperatures or complex catalysts, this process occurs naturally on the surface of tiny .. ...

A groundbreaking study from the University of Auckland and Chalmers University of Technology is offering new hope for spinal cord injury patients. Researchers have developed an ultra-thin implant that delivers gentle electric currents directly to the ...

A team of researchers has turned ordinary yeast into tiny, glowing drug factories, creating and testing billions of peptide-based compounds in record time. This green-tech breakthrough could fast-track safer, more precise medicines and reshape the .. ...
