A joint Spanish and American research team found that people living near green spaces are on average 2.5 years biologically younger than those who do not.
A recent study shows how a number of effects of longer daily commutes can snowball into depression. The study was conducted in South Korea, a country with some of the longest average commuting times.
Mini brains grown in a lab from stem cells spontaneously developed rudimentary eye structures, scientists reported in a fascinating paper in 2021.
2023 has seen climate records being not just broken, but smashed. By September there had already been 38 days when global average temperatures exceeded pre-industrial ones by 1.5°C.
The sticky clumps of amyloid beta protein found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease might behave like prions and may even spread to other people under very rare circumstances involving medical procedures.
A massive hole opened up in the Sun's atmosphere over the weekend, measuring more than 60 times the diameter of the Earth across at its peak.
A study by evolutionary neuroscientists suggests our minds develop thanks to fermentation. It made food easier to digest and contained more nutrients, facilitating our grey matter’s development.
Metals have their own intrinsic, natural ability to heal themselves, at least in the case of fatigue damage at the nanoscale, a new research found.
Japan's joint fusion reactor project with the European Union (EU), the JT-60SA, was inaugurated in Naka, Japan on Friday, marking the start of experimental operations for the world's biggest and most advanced tokamak.
The 1,300-tonne system is submerged 35 meters underwater and uses the sea to cool its compute.
It’s the first time such a disc, identical to those forming planets in our own Milky Way, has ever been found outside our galaxy.
A stunning river of stars has been spotted flowing through the intergalactic space in a cluster of galaxies about 300 million light years away.
The nearly Neptune-sized planet LHS 3154 b orbits close to a very small star and challenges theories of how planets form.
The 'longevity bottleneck' hypothesis has been proposed by Professor Joao Pedro de Magalhaes from the UK. The hypothesis connects the role that dinosaurs played over 100 million years with the aging process in mammals.
The discovery of phosphorus in a molecular cloud at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy extends the presence of the element almost twice as far out as where it was known to exist.
