In a distant star system — a mere 1,300 light years away from Earth — researchers may have identified the first known planet to orbit three stars.

Researchers have uncovered a key step in the ionization of liquid water using the lab’s high-speed ‘electron camera,’ MeV-UED. This reaction is of fundamental significance to a wide range of fields, including nuclear engineering, space travel, cancer t…

Although measuring the electrical activity of neurons is useful in many disciplines, making durable neural interfacing brain chip implants with negligible adverse effects has proven challenging. Now, scientists have developed a flexible multifunctional…

Vision loss can be a side effect from stroke. Neurons don’t regenerate, and stem cell therapy is costly, difficult, and chancy. Researchers have figured out a way to use gene therapy to recover lost vision after a stroke in a mouse model.

A new study finds that having a protocol to use blood thinners for COVID-19 patients reduces patient COVID-19 mortality by almost half.

A recent study examined the spectrum of antibody responses — including IgG, IgM, and IgA antibodies — in kidney transplant recipients infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. The antibody response to infection is delayed but preserved in kidney …

Links between obesity and mortality have become increasingly evident, since the earliest pandemic of the 21st century, leading researchers to investigate if excess body weight may have been associated with high rates of COVID-19 mortalities around the …

A research team has been using high-intensity X-rays to observe a single catalyst nanoparticle at work. The experiment has revealed for the first time how the chemical composition of the surface of an individual nanoparticle changes under reaction cond…

Extremely hot years will wipe out hundreds of thousands of tons of fish available for catch in a country’s waters in this century, on top of projected decreases to fish stocks from long-term climate change, a new study predicts. Modelling a worst-case …

Researchers have utilized two-dimensional hybrid metal halides in a device that allows directional control of terahertz radiation generated by a spintronic scheme. The device has better signal efficiency than conventional terahertz generators, and is t…

Researchers have found that aging produces significant changes in the microbiome of the human small intestine distinct from those caused by medications or illness burden.

More than half of U.S. women will experience at least one urinary tract infection (UTI) in their lifetimes, while a quarter will have a subsequent infection. Recurrent urinary tract infections are defined as two or more infections in six months or thre…
