Medicine & TechnologyWhen all Greek letters are used up to name COVID-19 variants, the World Health Organization (WHO) might start naming them after star constellations.
Researchers were able to develop a new amalgamation process that results in two metals producing nanocrystals, opening a new avenue for creating intermetallic nanocrystals for a variety of specialized applications.
Tardigrades, those chubby multiple-legged organisms known for being virtually indestructible, apparently see the world in black and white - they have no color vision.
In the ongoing pursuit to successfully emulate the human brain, one of the most complex machines known to man, a new study was able to fabricate an artificial neuron that can retain electronic memories.
While we enjoy a day that is approximately 24 hours long, a new study suggests that it might not have always been the case, with the changes in the length of a day providing a nudge toward the development of complex life.
Existing in the shadow of the rapidly-spread COVID-19 delta variant, a new study highlights that we should also take note of the potential threat by another emerging strain, the Lambda variant.
Reining in the world's worst contributors to carbon emissions could create a disproportionately large advantage in the fight against climate change, studies suggest.
A recycling and salvaging plant in Burnsville, Central Alabama, caught fire last August 2, and spectators found something both frightening and awe-inspiring: a smokenado.
A new method could lead to the faster, better way of fabricating soft materials called diblock polymers, speeding up production from five months down to three minutes.
Extracted DNA samples from an ancient bear skull, dated 32,500 years old, offer insight into how Ice Age bears migrated to Honshu, lived near what is now Tokyo, and eventually died out.
In the ongoing effort to prove whether the Earth's moon once held water and ice on its surface, scientists turned to decades-old data for additional clues, using photos taken during the Apollo Mission series.
A new study led by Japanese researchers managed to configure graphene-diamond junctions to mimic certain functions of the human brain, opening possibilities for more complex computing devices.
A new study led by the University of Exeter suggests that the unchecked plastic pollution in the oceans is leading sea turtles into an evolutionary trap.
