Scientists have uncovered how a tiny molecular machine called the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier unlocks the gates to our cells’ powerhouses—an energy-boosting breakthrough that could pave the way for new treatments for cancer, diabetes, and more.
Astronomers have uncovered something unusual happening in our cosmic neighborhood—a small galaxy near the Milky Way is behaving strangely, and no one is quite sure why.
Researchers have successfully created solar cells using simulated lunar dirt, potentially offering astronauts a sustainable energy source without needing to bring heavy materials from Earth.
New research from Brown University reveals surprising insights into why Americans at every economic level have shorter lifespans compared to Europeans.
Have you ever eaten something that made you so sick you couldn't stomach the idea of eating it again? A team of neuroscientists has discovered exactly how the brain creates these strong food aversions after just one bad experience.
Future Mars missions will make astronauts susceptible to potential bone mass loss. Scientists may have found an ingenious solution to this issue with help from transgenic lettuce.
A group of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed an automatic, touchless cleaning method to rid solar panels of dust without the need for water.
Researchers took a renewed look at the body size of the famed Megalodon and discovered that the famed shark grew much larger in colder waters following the so-called Bergmann's rule.
A large body of research shows that older people who keep exercising at old age have a much better immune system than their less active peers. In some cases, certain parts of their immune system can even resemble that of a 20-year-old.
In the supermarket, we can choose between fresh, frozen, canned, or jarred vegetables. Is there a difference in nutritional value between these types? And if so, which is the best?
Technology is improving at a rapid pace, and so is artificial intelligence. We may one day create a virtual world similar to our own. The ethics surrounding such a proposition make for an interesting topic.
Researchers at the Joint European Torus (JET) shattered a 24-year old record by achieving the highest-ever energy output of 59 megajoules from nuclear fusion, generated over a sustained period of time
For a long time, it was presumed that volcanic eruptions that take place on the bottom oceans were boring compared to those that happen on dry land. Nothing could be further from the truth.
