For The Better

The first gene mapping study on eyebrow thickness in Europeans discovered three previously unreported genetic loci. The study demonstrates that eyebrow appearance has partly the same and partly different underlying genes in people from different parts …

Researchers have demonstrated the principle of using spatial correlations in quantum entangled beams of light to encode information and enable its secure transmission.

Researchers have detected complex organic molecules in a galaxy more than 12 billion light-years away from Earth — the most distant galaxy in which these molecules are now known to exist. Thanks to the capabilities of the recently launched James Webb …

Mycorrhizal fungi are responsible for holding up to 36 per cent of yearly global fossil fuel emissions below ground — more than China emits each year.

Researchers have demonstrated a quantum speedup over the most efficient classical computer algorithm possible for what is believed to be the first time.  The accomplishment was performed on an IBM Montreal Quantum Falcon r4 27-qubit device.

A double-blind randomized clinical trial of a device aimed at silencing the phantom sounds of tinnitus has yielded promising results.

Researchers show that an evolutionary change in the length of lizards’ legs can have a significant impact on vegetation growth and spider populations on small islands in the Bahamas. This is one of the first times, the researchers say, that such dramat…

A delicate tracery of dust and bright star clusters threads across this image from the James Webb Space Telescope. The bright tendrils of gas and stars belong to the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5068, whose bright central bar is visible in the upper left o…

Although astrophysicists theoretically should be able to detect gravitational waves from a single, non-binary source, they have yet to uncover these elusive signals. Now researchers suggest looking at a new, unexpected and entirely unexplored place: Th…

Among the most fundamental questions in astronomy is: How did the first stars and galaxies form? NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is already providing new insights into this question. One of the largest programs in Webb’s first year of science is the …

Scientists have shown that a new targeted therapy drug can extend the amount of time people with a subtype of glioma are on treatment without their cancer worsening. The finding suggests a possible new treatment option for people with the slow-growing …

Researchers have found that the ability to visually predict movement may be an important part of the ability to make a great catch — or grab a moving object.
