NASA's Fermi telescope has detected what may be the first confirmed gamma-ray signal from a superluminous supernova -- one of the most extreme explosions in the universe. Scientists believe the blast was powered by a rapidly spinning magnetar, an ...

Scientists uncovered evidence that human blood cells may trace their origins back to single-celled ancestors that lived 700 million years ago. By rebuilding the evolutionary family tree of blood cells, the team revealed how today's immune system grew ...

Scientists in Japan have created powerful new vitamin K-based compounds that may help the brain regenerate lost neurons -- a breakthrough that could one day change how diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are treated. By combining vitamin K with ...

Researchers at Texas A&M have developed a nasal spray that appears to reverse brain aging by calming inflammation and restoring the brain's energy systems. After just two doses, memory and cognitive function improved for months, raising hopes for ...

Scientists working at CERN's Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model -- the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and forces of the universe. By studying incredibly rare .. ...

Scientists have created a global "treasure map" for rare earth elements by uncovering where the strange volcanic rocks that contain them are most likely to form. By combining thousands of rock samples with seismic images of Earth's deep interior, the ...

When a queen wasp suddenly disappears, her colony doesn't calmly choose a successor -- it erupts into chaos. Researchers found that female wasps immediately begin battling for power, shattering the colony's social order in a frenzy of aggression. But ...

Hidden deep in the towering mountains of the Himalayas, one of Asia's most mysterious venomous snakes has been keeping a major secret for over 160 years. Scientists have now discovered that the so-called Himalayan pit viper is not just one species, . ...

NASA's Psyche spacecraft just used Mars as a giant gravitational slingshot to continue its journey toward a strange metal rich asteroid. The close flyby boosted the spacecraft's speed by about 1,000 mph while also producing rare crescent images of .. ...

Scientists believe a dust-filled ring just outside Jupiter acted like a cosmic "planetesimal factory," producing multiple generations of early space rocks with very different compositions. The discovery may finally explain the origins of several ...
