Simulations integrate historical records, fossils, and ancient DNA to reveal why the European bison nearly went extinct, and pinpoint optimal areas for conservation. Since the near-extinction of the European bison, enormous conservation efforts have …
Like a shiny, round ornament ready to be placed in the perfect spot on a holiday tree, supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) gleams in a new image.
New research could one day lead to therapies that prevent or treat diseases and infections tied to a protein that’s found in all human cells. A study describes how the protein ubiquitin is modified during a bacterial infection. The study details the st…
Becoming a caregiver to an aging parent or spouse can be stressful, but a new study is questioning the idea that family caregiving is also a risk factor for depression.
Early detection of atrial fibrillation can reduce the risk of stroke and heart failure, but screening people for the condition has been historically challenging.
Researchers have developed a new technique to detect photons — elementary particles that span from visible light to radio frequencies and are instrumental in carrying cellular communication. The advancement could lead to more precise and efficient tec…
In a study that could help fill some holes in quantum theory, the team recreated a ‘quantum bomb tester’ in a classical droplet test.
Smoking shrinks the brain and effectively causes premature brain aging, according to a new study. Quitting smoking prevents further loss of brain tissue but doesn’t restore the brain to its original size.
By making mammograms easy to schedule through personal online patient portals, researchers saw a significant increase in screenings for breast cancer.
The Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE) spacecraft is about the size of a cereal box. It has also recorded incredibly detailed measurements of the atmospheres of planets hundreds of light-years from Earth.
