How we humans became what we are today is a question that scientists have been trying to answer for a long time. How did we evolve such advanced cognitive abilities, giving rise to complex language, poetry and rocket science? ...

I spent the majority of my life in the United States before relocating to the United Kingdom (UK) a few years ago. I quickly noticed the difference in primary healthcare structure. Healthcare in the U.K. is provided by the ...

Researchers at Uppsala university, Sweden, and Element Six, U.K., have, for the first time ever, demonstrated electrical control of valley transport in 3-D dual-gate diamond field-effect transistors. These results were published ...

In 2010, when scientists were preparing to smash the first particles together within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sections of the media fantasized that the EU-wide experiment might create a black hole that could swallow ...

On December 9, 2020, researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel published a study in the journal Nature titled "The global mass produced by man exceeds all living biomass". The article summary sets the scene: ...

Editor's note: Amid record cold temperatures and skyrocketing energy demand, utilities across the central U.S. have ordered rolling blackouts to ration electricity, leaving millions of people without power. Energy expert ...

Graphene is a layer of carbon only one atom thick. Since it was first isolated in 2004, it has found applications in strengthening materials, accelerating electronics, and boosting performance in batteries, among others.

About 41,000 years ago, something remarkable happened: Earth's magnetic field flipped and, for a temporary period, magnetic north was south and magnetic south was north.

Water is essential to life as we know it and it seems completely normal to have water all around us. Yet Earth is the only known planet to be covered by oceans. Do we know exactly where its water came from?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is learning more about how to work with (and on) humans. A recent study has shown how AI can learn to identify vulnerabilities in human habits and behaviors and use them to influence human decision-making.

Just like an astronomer investigates outer space, a chemist explores chemical space—a theoretical territory with all possible known (and unknown) chemical compounds. Researchers estimate chemical space to contain up to ...
