A group of scientists studying pregnancy across six different mammals--from humans to marsupials--uncovered how certain cells at the mother-baby boundary have been working together for over 100 million years. By mapping gene activity in these cells, ...

Scientists have captured the moment a laser "comes to life"--and what they found challenges long-held beliefs. Using a special technique to film laser light in real time, researchers observed how multiple pulses grow and organize themselves into a .. ...

Scientists have pioneered a new way to monitor sodium levels in the blood--without drawing a single drop. By combining terahertz radiation and optoacoustic detection, they created a non-invasive system that tracks sodium in real time, even through .. ...

Deep in Chile's Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite--and discovered it can cool itself dramatically when placed in a magnetic field. Unlike a regular fridge, this effect doesn't rely on gases or compressors. Instead, . ...

Scientists at the University of Sydney have uncovered a malfunctioning version of the SOD1 protein that clumps inside brain cells and fuels Parkinson's disease. In mouse models, restoring the protein's function with a targeted copper supplement ...

These findings highlight the significance of rearing behavior and behavioral lateralization as potential behavioral markers for tracking the progression of Parkinson's disease.

People who treat hearing loss with hearing aids or cochlear implants regain rich conversations, escape isolation, and may even protect their brains and lifespans--proof that better hearing translates into fuller living.

For decades, scientists believed the Arctic Ocean was sealed under a massive slab of ice during the coldest ice ages -- but new research proves otherwise. Sediment samples from the seafloor, paired with cutting-edge climate simulations, show that the ...

In the frozen reaches of the planet--glaciers, mountaintops, and icy groundwater--scientists have uncovered strange light-sensitive molecules in tiny microbes. These "cryorhodopsins" can respond to light in ways that might let researchers turn brain ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle--never seen before and predicted not to exist within string theory--might leave behind ...
