From the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, ‘monstrous births’ — malformed or anomalous fetuses — were, to Western medicine, an object of superstition. In 19th-century America, they became instead an object of the ‘modern scientific study of monstrosi…
A study shows nest temperatures affect leatherback hatchling shape, performance and nest success. Lower temperatures produced longer hatchlings; highest temperatures produced hatchlings with thicker body depths. Hatchlings from the highest nest tempera…
New research has revealed the distribution of dark matter in never before seen detail, down to a scale of 30,000 light-years. The observed distribution fluctuations provide better constraints on the nature of dark matter.
Scientists believe they have discovered a special antibody which may lead to a treatment for Retinitis Pigmentosa, a condition that causes loss of central vision, as well as night and color vision.
New research shows that, in addition to trees, humble grasses also play an essential role in capturing carbon.
It can be hard to know that you have glaucoma. Almost five percent of 70-year-olds were found to have glaucoma, and half of those diagnosed were unaware that they had the disease.
Researchers have used machine learning to perform error correction for quantum computers — a crucial step for making these devices practical — using an autonomous correction system that despite being approximate, can efficiently determine how best to…
Aripiprazole enhances the entrainment to external light-dark cycles by weakening the synchronization between neurons in the central circadian clock, thereby improving the symptoms of circadian rhythm sleep disorders.
Receiving therapy for problematic social media use can be effective in improving the mental wellbeing of people with depression, a new study finds.

Researchers have created a panel of genetically diverse mice that accurately model the highly variable human response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The team uncovered differences in the innate immune and regulated proinflammatory responses, the timing and s…

Maize roots secrete certain chemicals that affect the quality of soil. In some fields, this effect increases yields of wheat planted subsequent to maize in the same soil by more than 4%. While the findings from several field experiments show that these…
