Researchers have reexamined the skull musculature of coelacanths, a lineage of fish dating back 400 million years, and discovered that many anatomical structures had been previously misidentified. The ...

Scientists have imaged atomic thermal vibrations for the first time, revealing hidden patterns that could redefine quantum and nano-electronic device design. Scientists studying atomic-level behavior ...

Astronomers have discovered signs of complex organic molecules, considered precursors to sugars and amino acids, within a planet-forming disc. Using the powerful Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter ...

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a rare, retrograde-orbiting planet in a tight binary star system. Most stars throughout the Universe are part of binary or multiple star systems. In these ...

Think you don’t have time to exercise every day? New research says you might not need to.

A new peer-reviewed article argues that grapes deserve a place among today’s top superfoods. A recent article published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry takes a closer lo ...

Unlike active galaxies that endlessly devour nearby matter, these black holes remain in slumber, stirring only momentarily to consume an unlucky passing star. Astronomers from MIT, Columbia University ...

Researchers have mapped the complete pathway for sensing cool temperatures from skin to brain, revealing a spinal cord ...

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead ...

New research reveals that irregular sleep patterns, not just how long we sleep, may significantly raise the risk of numerous ...
