A vast region of our solar system, called the Kuiper belt, stretches from the orbit of Neptune out to 50 or so astronomical units (AU), where an AU is the distance between Earth and the sun. This region consists mostly of ...

In nature, it is not usual for animals to be deceptive, as evolution has typically favored communication that benefits both the sender and receiver by conveying reliable information. But, there are exceptions, particularly ...

Chronic wounds (CWs), like diabetic ulcers or pressure sores, are a major health care challenge, especially in the elderly. These wounds, marked by persistent inflammation, often lead to infection and poor patient outcomes. ...

Microrobots—tiny robots less than a millimeter in size—are useful in a variety of applications that require tasks to be completed at scales far too small for other tools, such as targeted drug-delivery or micro-manufacturing. ...

Many animals have been observed using tools. For example, chimps tear leaves off of branches and stick them into holes to pull out termites, and wild dingoes have been observed moving objects to stand on to get to another ...

The Omo-Turkana Basin, where the Omo River drains into Lake Turkana in Africa, has been one of the three most valuable regions for the study of hominin evolution in Africa. Since the 1960s, many large-scale studies have taken ...

The story depicted on the ˁAin Samiya goblet—an 8 cm tall silver vessel from the Intermediate Bronze Age (c. 2650–1950 BCE)—might actually represent a different myth than originally thought, according to a new study.

Currently, scientists struggle to forecast volcano eruption events, as no universally reliable, real-time eruption forecasting framework is available. Instead, researchers often rely on retrospective analysis to evaluate ...

The area known as the Santana Group in the Araripe Basin in northeastern Brazil has long been an important fossil site, contributing significantly to knowledge of the Cretaceous period. In particular, it has yielded many ...

Currently, there are several hypotheses surrounding the disappearance of Neanderthals. While they all have at least some scientific support, researchers can't agree on which—or which combination—is most likely. In a new study, ...

The Stone of Scone, also known as the Stone of Destiny, is a treasured relic of history in Great Britain, used for centuries as an accompaniment to the coronation of kings. This 152 kg (335 lb) sandstone block has suffered ...

Reading brain activity with advanced technologies is not a new concept. However, most techniques have focused on identifying single words associated with an object or action a person is seeing or thinking of, or matching ...

An area called the central Southern Cone in South America, which consists of a large part of Argentina, is known to be one of the last global regions to become inhabited by humans.

Researchers in Shanghai have reported in a study, recently published in Science Advances, that they've successfully decoded Mandarin Chinese language in real time with the help of a brain-computer interface (BCI) framework, ...

Many quantum researchers are working toward building technologies that allow for the existence of a global quantum internet, in which any two users on Earth would be able to conduct large-scale quantum computing and communicate ...
