Archaeologists rediscovers 46 sites at the Eastern Sovereign Base Area at Dhekelia, Cyprus. Archaeologists located sites from archive records, a number of which were thought to have been ‘lost.’ They uncovered evidence of quarries and tombs likely to s…

Four children have remained free of detectable HIV for more than one year after their antiretroviral therapy (ART) was paused to see if they could achieve HIV remission, according to new research. The children, who acquired HIV before birth, were enrol…

A research team has recently made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the DNA copying machine helps pass on epigenetic information to maintain gene traits at each cell division. Understanding how this coupled mechanism could lead to new tre…

Despite marine sponges being widespread on our planet, their biodiversity and distribution is still poorly known. Even though the Mediterranean Sea is the most explored sea on Earth, a study reveals the presence of new sponge species and new records in…

In order to keep the population of harbour porpoises in Danish coastal waters stable, only 24 can perish in fishing nets each year. However, over 900 die each year.

Solving arithmetic problems, even simple subtractions, involves mental representations whose influence remains to be clarified. Visualizing these representations would enable us to better understand our reasoning and adapt our teaching methods. A team …

The James Webb Space Telescope makes one of the most unexpected findings within its first year of service: A high number of faint little red dots in the distant Universe could change the way we understand the genesis of supermassive black holes.

Researchers have used machine learning to create a model that simulates reactive processes in organic materials and conditions.

Combining two treatments could be a promising option for people, especially military veterans, whose lives are negatively affected by post-traumatic stress disorder, finds a new study. In a clinical trial conducted among U.S. military veterans, partici…

Whereas humans have one receptor on their tongues that can detect all sorts of sweet things, from real sugar to artificial sweeteners like aspartame, insects have many receptors that each detect specific types of sugars. Researchers have now uncovered …

In a potentially game-changing development, scientists have revealed a new understanding of sometimes fatal viral infections that affect the heart. Traditionally, the focus has been on heart inflammation known as myocarditis, which is often triggered b…

Scientists have developed an optical display based on mechano-optical mechanisms.

Researchers decode the neuronal basis of decision-making processes and can thus predict actions.

A new study provides insights into the role of microbes and their interaction as drivers of interspecific differences in coral thermal bleaching.

A surge of a neural-specific protein in the brain is the earliest-yet biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease, report researchers studying a mouse model of the disease. Furthermore, the increased protein activity leads to the seizures associated with the ear…

Getting climate models to mimic real-time observations when it comes to warming is critical — small discrepancies can lead to misunderstandings about the rate of global warming as the climate changes. A new study that when modeling warming trends in t…
