Advancements in nuclear physics may soon enable the creation of stable, superheavy nuclei, paving the way for new materials and insights into atomic stability. A team of scientists has made significant advancements in the quest to create new, long-lasting superheavy

A new study shows that people with more positive expectations about aging tend to rate their cognitive function higher and report less perceived cognitive decline. Aging often comes with expectations—like gray hair, wrinkles, and occasional forgetfulness. While these assumptions may

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted a feeding black hole in the early universe that seems to be eating 40 times faster than is theoretically possible.

Researchers at Harvard’s Paleomagnetics Lab have made a compelling case that Mars’ magnetic field, which could have supported life, lasted until 3.9 billion years ago—much later than previously thought. Evidence suggests that billions of years ago, Mars may have been

Scientists pinpointed 80 gene variants, including eight tied to fatty acid metabolism, that may cause breast cancer in some people, new research suggests.

At the end of the last global ice age, the deep-frozen Earth reached a built-in limit of climate change and thawed into a slushy planet. Results from a Virginia Tech-led study provide the first direct geochemical evidence of the slushy

A new study has revealed how decadal-scale climate fluctuations impact the ability of climate models to simulate tropical cyclone frequency in response to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. This finding offers an improved understanding of tropical cyclone genesis and presents

In the last few days, a seasonal weather system known in Spain as the "cold drop" or DANA (an acronym of "depresión aislada en niveles altos": isolated depression at high levels) has caused heavy rain and flooding across Spain's Mediterranean

"[Now that I work for Safety and Mission Assurance,] it's really cool to read everything about the different types of the scenarios. I always get to see the task orders and the type of work that is going on to

A concerning development.

More than meets the eye.

"The most radiation-tolerant animals on Earth."

NIH-funded research offers evidence on transplantation practices that are currently confined to research environments. A multicenter observational study in the United States found that kidney transplants from deceased donors with HIV (HIV D+) to recipients with HIV (HIV R+) were

MRI data reveals no structural brain changes from an extra school year, hinting that education’s benefits may not extend to brain aging. Through a “natural experiment” involving 30,000 people, researchers at Radboud University Medical Center set out to understand the
