When Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered over a century ago, it became an immediate worldwide sensation, revealing a wealth of treasures from ancient Egypt. In the decades that followed, the tomb was meticulously cleared, cataloged ...
Medical Xpress / Teen with extraordinary memory relives his past far more often than most people do
The human brain is a mystery that keeps unraveling, revealing something fascinating with every discovery. For years, scientists have been trying to better understand a rare condition called Highly Superior Autobiographical ...
Phys.org / Superdense neutron star caught feeding on a blue hypergiant's stellar wind
Using data from the Japan–led XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) observatory, astronomers have directly observed a giant star's outflow, called a stellar wind, being captured by its compact companion and providing ...
Phys.org / NASA spacecraft discovers a huge new crater on the moon
Scientists have discovered a crater on the moon that's bigger than the Roman Colosseum and is the result of a powerful impact two years ago that initially went undetected.
Phys.org / To understand the solar cycle, notice how the sun sleeps
The sun is such a constant in our lives that it can be difficult to imagine our star ever changing. But the sun can be quite variable. There are times when its magnetic field is turbulent and generates many sunspots and other ...
Medical Xpress / Smelling freshly brewed coffee briefly improves mood, small study suggests
For millions around the globe, a freshly brewed cup of coffee is a wake-up drink first thing in the morning and a pick-me-up during a long, tedious workday. Scientists now have clues that it might be more than just the boost ...
Medical Xpress / When the eyes play tricks, the brain builds consensus
Have you ever seen something that doesn't quite add up? Maybe a shape in the dark resembles a face, or an orange momentarily looks like an apple. Scientists now have a new idea about how different brain regions may work together ...
Tech Xplore / Real-world EV data reveal how uneven cell aging shortens battery lifespan
Electric vehicles (EVs), including cars, buses and trains, could significantly reduce the substantial greenhouse gas emissions produced by the transportation sector. These vehicles' performance and reliability over time, ...
Medical Xpress / Human brain has a split origin, new research suggests
For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine reveals that what we call the brain is two distinct organs that evolved independently over hundreds ...
Phys.org / Children born today in Europe will live through almost twice as much extreme fire weather as their grandparents
A child born in Europe in 2025 will live through more than three additional years of extreme fire weather compared with someone born in 1950 if we continue with current climate policies, according to new research published ...
Phys.org / End of humanity? Blow‑by‑blow account of what would happen if the Yellowstone supervolcano erupted now
Around 631,000 years ago—a geological blink of an eye—catastrophe unfolded in what is now northwestern Wyoming, U.S. During what is thought to have been a series of immense volcanic eruptions, life within hundreds of kilometers ...
Tech Xplore / Snapping rods let frog-like robot outrun rigid legs across six terrains
Roboticists at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and the University of Michigan have shown that elastic rods can be bent and twisted to repeatedly snap between shapes, releasing built-up energy that enables small robots ...
