Neural-Fly technology could one day build the future of package delivery drones and flying cars.

Researchers have devised a new metric, the ‘Health-Adjusted Dependency Ratio’ (HADR) as an alternative to the most commonly used aging metric, the old-age dependency ratio (OADR). The research suggests that age-related health burden is distinct from a …

Until now, the best way of diagnosing heart failure has been an invasive assessment, but it carries risks for patients. Non-invasive echocardiogram, which is based on ultrasound, are usually used instead, but they are wrong in up to 50 per cent of case…

Researchers have made a crucial discovery about how asymptomatic malaria infections impact the body, informing potential strategies to control transmission and improve treatment outcomes.

With about one-third of the world’s corals currently under threat of extinction due to climate change, researchers have made the encouraging discovery of a ‘lost’ species of coral that had been hidden for more than 50 years.

Anyone who is taking a diuretic and a renin-angiotensin system (RSA) inhibitor for high blood pressure should be cautious about also taking ibuprofen, according to new research.

A new study proposes a novel method to estimate global economic wellbeing using nighttime satellite images.

Long-duration space flight alters fluid-filled spaces along veins and arteries in the brain, according to new research.

The molecules of life, DNA, replicate with astounding precision, yet this process is not immune to mistakes and can lead to mutations. Using sophisticated computer modelling, a team of physicists and chemist have shown that such errors in copying can a…

Engineers have demonstrated the effectiveness of new technology to cut diesel emissions. The advancement successfully reduced heavy-duty diesel engine nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2027 standards.
