Existing methods of identifying job burnout are lengthy and sometimes proprietary, but new research offers a faster and easier way.

An innovative protocol called PepSeq is changing the way researchers test for contagious diseases — and this knowledge should change the way humanity responds to future pandemics. Researchers just published a comprehensive study about PepSeq that lays…

A program that combines computer-based and driving simulator training may reduce the proportion of crashes and near crashes among teens with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a small study. Teens who took the training, which…

A lightweight, ultra-shock-absorbing foam made from carbon nanotubes is so good at absorbing and dissipating the energy of an impact, it could vastly improve helmets and prevent concussions and other traumatic brain injuries.

New research findings help explain the progression of Alzheimer-related dementia in each patient. The findings outline a biological classification system that predicts disease severity.

Orb-weaving spiders cooperate for more peaceful colonies, a surprising revelation given that most spiders live solitarily. In the colonies that researchers observed, male spiders fought less with one another when there were more female spiders in a col…

Measuring the amount of DNA that’s been shed by a tumor compared to the body’s typical amount of DNA may be a new tool to predict survival and guide treatment discussions for patients whose cancer has spread from the breast, prostate, lung or colon, a …

A low-cost, prenatal intervention benefits mothers’ mental health up to eight years later, a new study finds.

Scientists have solved the high-resolution, complex structures of drug-like compounds bound to designer brain cell receptors, paving the way for the creation of next-generation chemogenetic tools.

Stories about how daily stress can negatively impact people’s lives, from physical health to mental and emotional well-being, are frequently in the media. But there is good news about the experience of daily stress as people age.

Extreme pressures come with high-speed flight. The resulting aerodynamic forces can bring significant risk to deforming the components of the vehicle in motion — even to the point of aeroelastic deformation — when solids behave more like liquids. Thi…
