Brain injury in extremely premature babies may be treatable even well after birth, new research finds. Over a third of cases of cerebral palsy are still linked to being born extremely prematurely.

Astronomers may have discovered the ancient chemical remains of the first stars to light up the Universe. Using an innovative analysis of a distant quasar observed by the 8.1-meter Gemini North telescope on Hawai’i, the scientists found an unusual rati…

The past may be a fixed and immutable point, but with the help of machine learning, the future can at times be more easily divined.

New research in animal models show it’s possible to create a compound that hits the same exact target as psychedelic drugs hit — the 5-HT2A serotonin receptors on the surface of specific neurons — but does not cause the same psychedelic effects when …

New research shows at atomic detail how antibiotics affect the process of protein production inside bacteria. The study uses cryo-electron tomography to observe the dynamics of the translation machinery in Mycoplasma pneumoniae, tiny parasitic bacteria…

Researchers have engineered a record number of six, silicon-based, spin qubits in a fully interoperable array. Importantly, the qubits can be operated with a low error-rate that is achieved with a new chip design, an automated calibration procedure, an…

Scientists have discovered that an extreme weather event that resulted in rapid sea temperature drops of up to 10 degrees was the primary cause of a catastrophic coral die-off event off the coast of Costa Rica.

The number of Americans with cardiovascular disease who are food insecure — having limited or uncertain access to adequate food — has more than doubled over the last 20 years, a national study finds. Adults with cardiovascular disease were more than …

Researchers have implemented a ground-breaking algorithm for reconstructing particles at the Large Hadron Collider. The project is part of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment — one of seven installed experiments which uses detectors to analyze …

High blood pressure means faster slide into signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s, but does not explain the overall disparity between Hispanic/Latino people and non-Hispanic people in dementia risk.

Researchers have discovered a protein that is responsible for controlling cell growth in yeasts. Since humans and yeasts have remarkably similar cellular mechanisms, teasing out the differences presents drug developers with new targets for treatments.

A study details the severe degradation and deforestation caused by gold mining in tropical forests, as well as the biophysical challenges associated with effectively restoring these landscapes.

Physicists are using small wheeled robots to better understand these indirect mechanical interactions, how they play a role in active matter, and how we can control them.

Landslides are inevitable, but landslide disasters are not. With this in mind, the U.S. Geological Survey has released a new report that details the strategic actions necessary to equitably reduce the Nation’s risk from landslide hazards.

Ailing neurons plagued with an accumulation of double-strand breaks in their DNA may instigate an inflammatory response from the brain’s microglia immune cells, a new study shows.
