An ancient species of dog, believed to be extinct in the wild, was recently discovered roaming near the largest gold mine in the world in Papua, Indonesia. The ancient dog breed may revive a dying species and add a new chapter to the understanding of human vocal learning.
The first artificial intelligence algorithm that can detect when spacecraft crosses back and forth from the Earth’s magnetic field to the Sun’s could help scientists whose main goal is to find punctures in the Earth’s magnetic bubble.
Black carbon released when fossil fuel or biomass burns does not play as important of a role as once believed in the formation of ice particles in mid-level clouds, according to a new study.
Pioneering new research has revealed the first direct evidence that groups of stars can tear apart their planet-forming disk, leaving it warped and with tilted rings.
What would you do if you knew how long you had until Alzheimer’s disease set in?
A new portable MRI device detected specific brain abnormalities in 29 of 30 patients taken to Yale New Haven Hospital’s neuroscience intensive care unit after presenting with symptoms of stroke and other neurological disorders, according to a new study published Sept. 8 in the journal JAMA Neurology.
Measuring blood antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 may distinguish children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), which appears to be a serious but rare complication of viral infection, say researchers at Emory University School of Medicine and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
The expansion of the Panama and Suez canals has increased the number of invasive, non-native fish species on the waterways, according to a new study from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) and the Leibnitz Center for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT).
Inspired by blood vessels themselves, researchers in China have created a new "bio-inspired" liquid gating membrane-based catheter out of novel materials that mimic the function and purpose of the vascular system. The catheter could be a game changer in the use, safety and versatility of catheters and other derived applications.
Researchers at Purdue University have discovered that a collection of electrons under extreme conditions can form quasiparticles called "anyons," which have unique "memory" properties and could advance quantum computing.
NASA’s Search and Rescue office is collaborating with a consortium of universities and other research organizations organized as SmartSat Cooperative Research Center (CRC) in order to improve on existing satellite-related technology that aids in search and rescue efforts around the world.
New evidence uncovered in Laos may lend understanding to a possible connection between the end of the Green Sahara and a crippling megadrought that struck Southeast Asia between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago.
Researchers develop a wider spectrum for dLight1 sensor, allowing multiplex imaging of neurotransmitters
A new model offers a way to predict the condition of a battery’s internal systems in real-time with far more accuracy than existing tools. In electric cars, the technology could improve driving range estimates and prolong battery life.
An international team of scientists and researchers recently announced "spectral detections" of phosphine (PH3 – a phosphorus atom with three hydrogen atoms attached), a potential sign of life in the clouds high above the surface of Venus.
A new report from an international commission of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the U.K.’s Royal Society, cautions against permitting editing of the genome of embryos that will be used to produce a pregnancy.
Researchers at Arizona State University (ASU) and the University of Chicago have determined in a study published in The Planetary Science Journal that some planets may shine bright like diamonds because they are, in fact, diamonds.
Richard Linares, an assistant professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AeroAstro) at MIT, is leading a multidisciplinary team of researchers to develop software to forecast space weather events.
