Ask a chemist to name the strongest single bond in organic chemistry, and they'll likely say carbon-fluorine. It's that bond, repeated dozens of times over, that gives per- and polyfluoroalkyl substan...
A massive test of gravity across the cosmos found that it behaves almost exactly as Newton and Einstein predicted, even across galaxy clusters hundreds of millions of light-years apart. The result wea...
Morgridge InstituteApproximately3 million peoplein the United States are living with a condition called heart failure with...
Vitamin C may modestly ease cold symptoms when taken regularly, but evidence does not support it as a general way to prevent colds. As winter arrives and cold season begins, vitamin C products often m...
HHS Opens the Vaccine Recommendation Rulebook: Evidence, Autonomy and Trust Move to Center Stage
AI systems are increasingly being developed to recognize emotions by analyzing facial expressions, voices, body language and other physiological signals. Although the scientific validity of many of th...
Ohio State UniversityThe largest study to date that quantifies and compares medical and illegal use of fentanyl in the United States suggests that illicit use is more than twice as common...
AI-based tissue clocks reveal that human organs age on different timelines and that some of these patterns can be detected from blood. The age printed on a birth certificate tells only part of the sto...
MODERNA'S mRNA FLU SHOT: FDA REFUSED IT, THEN REVERSED ITSELF IN TWO WEEKS
Fibrinogen, the abundant plasma protein best known for forming blood clots, may play a second and far less benign role during SARS-CoV-2 infection: acting as a molecular bridge that simultaneously hid...
SETI Inst.What happens to a space rock as it falls through Earth's atmosphere and becomes a meteorite? By studying 75 meteorite falls captured on video and in photographs, researchers...
The discovery could lead to improved treatments for autoimmune diseases and cancer. T cells may be able to do something scientists did not previously know they could: physically sense the tissues arou...
Researchers with the long-running Harvard–Cornell Archaeological Exploration of Sardis have unearthed a larger-than-life statue estimated to be nearly 2,500 years old.
Pennsylvania ranks second in U.S. natural gas production, accounting for about one-fifth of U.S. output in 2024, and has one of the most extensive histories of energy extraction in the country. A team...
A NASA-led team hopes to take a shortcut to direct imaging of extrasolar Earth-like planets. The idea is to use what they call a hybrid telescope composed of an orbital starshade coupled with the next...
Around 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was little more than a giant ball of gas and dust. Over the next few million years, this "solar nebula" underwent a huge transformation, flattening into ...
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have found that implosions designed for inertial fusion energy (IFE) can tolerate significant imperfections before performance abruptly dec...
At the center of our solar system, the sun influences every planet that orbits it. In two recent studies, scientists uncovered how ancient events in the sun's history may have helped create Earth's un...
Marine heat waves and extreme ocean acidification events are each damaging on their own. But when both stressors hit simultaneously, their individual effects can be exacerbated.
Our everyday life is flooded with photons, the quantum building blocks of light. For cutting-edge technology, from quantum computing to deep-tissue imaging, detecting every single photon counts.
