Antibiotics are no longer able to treat infections as effectively as they once did because many pathogens have developed resistance to these drugs. This phenomenon, known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR), claims over a million ...

Extinct relatives of modern humans, like Neanderthals and Homo erectus, that lived in the Levant around 120,000 years ago, did not engage in mass hunting but preferred selective and strategic hunting of wild cattle. Scientists ...

Researchers just hit two benefits with one catalyst. They converted methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas, into ethylene (C2H4), a highly demanded raw material in industrial sectors, using sunlight and a newly designed palladium–gold ...

If there were a place that could be called the archaeological almanac of Saudi Arabian culture, it would be Tell Abraq, located on the west coast of the United Arab Emirates. This area contains traces of every cultural phase ...

The material used to build the Temple of Venus in Naples has remarkably endured even as Earth's surface around it sank from volcanic activity, and researchers were curious to know how.

A warm hand is enough to drive motion in tiny Salmonella-inspired robots that harness molecular-level dynamic bonding.

Centuries before Monopoly, there was Patolli, a high-stakes Mesoamerican game of strategy and luck where players wagered crops and wealth as they raced their opponents around a cross-shaped board.

Patterns of smartphone use and their impact on mental health are being extensively studied due to the growing dependence of the device in people's lives.

The tectonic plates under Africa and Asia are slowly drifting apart, as the Gulf of Suez that separates these two land masses continues to widen at a rate of about 0.26–0.55 millimeters per year.

Our body's immune system is quick to spring into action when it spots a foreign object that shouldn't be there. Sometimes the same defense mechanism can get confused and end up attacking the very cells it's meant to protect, ...

A team of researchers from Yale University, U.S., successfully achieved the first stereoselective synthesis of the complex natural product (–)-gukulenin A (7), which exhibits notable cytotoxicity against ovarian cancer.

Speaking more than one language can slow down the brain's aging and lower risks linked to accelerated aging.

The ability to respond to changing surroundings was once considered exclusive to complex living organisms. Then came computers, specially designed for stimulus–response tasks, which can take in signals from their environment ...

Arynes are highly reactive organic intermediates featuring a triple bond within an aromatic ring. Their strong reactivity enables them to form bonds with a wide range of functional groups, making them valuable tools for the ...

Scientists have developed a new iron-based catalyst that improves the typically low hydrogen atom economy (HAE) in the direct synthesis of olefins—small hydrocarbon molecules. It converts the water produced as a by-product ...
