Scientists have designed and fabricated a simple device capable of imaging a gas injected into it in multiple colors in accordance with its gaseous properties, enabling chromatic discrimination of different gases. This user-friendly device converts the…

Researchers found there is often a disconnect between the medical language used by doctors and patient understanding.

Since the 1960s, researchers have postulated that major depression stems from disruptions in the serotonin neurotransmitter system, but the evidence for that idea, though plentiful, was indirect. In fact, a recent comprehensive analysis of existing stu…

The London Underground is polluted with ultrafine metallic particles small enough to end up in the human bloodstream, according to researchers. These particles are so small that they are likely being underestimated in surveys of pollution in the world’…

Astronomers have found evidence that two exoplanets orbiting a red dwarf star are ‘water worlds,’ planets where water makes up a large fraction of the volume.

Researchers are devising a way to track and measure how fish — one of the world’s most-traded commodities — moves from the water to the plate within a country.

In an effort to identify a more universal treatment for drug overdose, a team of scientists tested a chemical compound — Pillar[6]MaxQ (P6AS) — as an antidote for methamphetamine and fentanyl. Their findings were highly promising.
