The human sperm’s tail whips in a single direction as it swims, but with the head spinning at the same time the sperm avoids moving in circles, researchers from the University of Bristol and Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico have discovered.
Based on studies in the United States and Afghanistan, scientists recently published a paper showing that belief in a higher power is directly influenced by the keenness of a person’s implicit ability to perceive patterns.
Charles Rice, a member of the American Association for Advancement of Science, has received a Nobel Prize for the role that he played in discovering Hepatitis C.
Putting ideas out there so everyone knows them is very different, in practice, from actually getting people to do what you want, and The National Academies recently looked at some of the ways social science can get people to follow the recommendations of the rest of the sciences.
James “Doc” McFadden, who passed away on Sept. 28, spent most of his life with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for longest career as a hurricane hunter, flying his first mission to Hurricane Inez in 1966, and his final flight to Hurricane Jerry in 2019 when he was 85 years old.
Antibiotics may be a good choice for some, but not all, patients with appendicitis, according to results from a large trial that was co-led by UCLA’s Dr. David Talan.
Our brains respond differently when talking to a person from a different socioeconomic group than during a conversation with someone of a similar background, a novel new imaging study shows.
Lymphocytes, white blood cells crucial to the body's immune system, can swim, according to new research by a team of researchers from various French universities.
