Research reveals a concerning trend: America's largest cities are slowly sinking—some faster than others

Scientists have discovered just how little of the deep ocean we've actually seen.

Scientists have uncovered how a tiny molecular machine called the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier unlocks the gates to our cells’ powerhouses—an energy-boosting breakthrough that could pave the way for new treatments for cancer, diabetes, and more.

Astronomers have uncovered something unusual happening in our cosmic neighborhood—a small galaxy near the Milky Way is behaving strangely, and no one is quite sure why.

Researchers have successfully created solar cells using simulated lunar dirt, potentially offering astronauts a sustainable energy source without needing to bring heavy materials from Earth.

New research from Brown University reveals surprising insights into why Americans at every economic level have shorter lifespans compared to Europeans.

Have you ever eaten something that made you so sick you couldn't stomach the idea of eating it again? A team of neuroscientists has discovered exactly how the brain creates these strong food aversions after just one bad experience.

A team of scientists has developed a new method to create carbon-negative materials using seawater, electricity, and carbon dioxide (CO₂). This new process not only locks away CO₂ in solid form but also yields hydrogen gas, a useful clean fuel.

Research shows that nostalgia could be helping you hold onto your closest relationships.

You may have noticed fewer butterflies in your backyard. Researchers now have data confirming that they are disappearing across the United States at an alarming rate.

A new scientific review highlights a growing concern: microplastics and nanoplastics are accumulating in human brain tissue. Researchers are now investigating what this could mean for brain health and how we can reduce our exposure.

Your everyday routine may be quietly accelerating your brain’s decline—yet with a few simple but powerful adjustments, you can preserve your cognitive health.

In an Algerian quarry, scientists made an unexpected discovery toward a much bigger story: one that reaches across millions of miles, all the way to Mars.

Scientists have discovered that mountain ranges, where deep mantle rocks are exposed, may hold significant natural hydrogen resources, potentially offering a new route to cleaner energy.

The supermassive black hole in the heart of our galaxy appears busier than ever.

Ever wonder why some people vividly recall their dreams while others wake up with a blank slate? Researchers may have found the answer

Penn State researchers propose that intelligent life on Earth, and possibly elsewhere, may be more likely than previously thought.

Noise-cancelling headphones have become increasingly popular for people seeking peace and quiet, whether in a bustling office or on a noisy airplane. But how exactly do they work, and can using them be bad for your brain?

Astronomers have discovered an intriguing, potentially habitable, super-earth not far from us in cosmic terms.

If the Universe Is Expanding, What Is It Expanding Into?

Eating more processed red meat increases the risk of cognitive decline and dementia, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed science journal Neurology.

Research shows that offering people a financial incentive is effective in helping them quit smoking and remain smoke-free over time.

Italian researchers have discovered that using a nasal spray to inhibit a specific brain enzyme can counteract the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Research suggests that, if all Americans over 40 matched the physical activity levels of the top 25%, they could live 5 years longer on average, while the least active 25% could gain nearly 11 years with equivalent effort.

Daytime sleepiness and lack of enthusiasm linked to higher risk of pre-dementia syndrome, research suggests

Bio-based materials intended to replace traditional plastics might actually pose a greater health risk to some of the planet's most crucial species than plastics themselves.
