DNA from a skull found at Newgrange once sparked theories of a royal incestuous elite in ancient Ireland, but new research reveals no signs of such a hierarchy. Instead, evidence suggests a surprisingly egalitarian farming society that valued ...

What if your old chest scans--taken years ago for something unrelated--held a secret warning about your heart? A new AI tool called AI-CAC, developed by Mass General Brigham and the VA, can now comb through routine CT scans to detect hidden signs of ...

Ancient coral fossils from the remote Seychelles islands have unveiled a dramatic warning for our future--sea levels can rise in sudden, sharp bursts even when global temperatures stay steady.

In a remarkable twist of science, researchers have transformed a fungus long associated with death into a potential weapon against cancer. Found in tombs like that of King Tut, Aspergillus flavus was once feared for its deadly spores. Now, scientists ...

Researchers in Sweden have developed a powerful new material that dramatically boosts the ability to create hydrogen fuel from water using sunlight, making the process eight times more effective than before. This breakthrough could be key to fueling ...

Scientists at NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder have created CURBy, a cutting-edge quantum randomness beacon that draws on the intrinsic unpredictability of quantum entanglement to produce true random numbers. Unlike traditional methods, .. ...

Scientists at the University of Amsterdam discovered that our brains automatically understand how we can move through different environments--whether it's swimming in a lake or walking a path--without conscious thought. These "action possibilities," ...

A Rice University team discovered that bubbling CO through a mild acid dramatically improves the lifespan and efficiency of electrochemical devices that convert CO into useful fuels. This simple trick prevents salt buildup--a major barrier to ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works only with infinitely long magnets, they engineered .. ...

Scientists are peering into the universe's mysterious Cosmic Dawn using the faint whispers of hydrogen radio waves emitted over 13 billion years ago. These signals, particularly the elusive 21-centimeter signal, offer rare insights into the masses .. ...
