This week, scientists uncovered why gold is so luminous, and hope to apply their findings to research in solar energy and battery production – plus more cool discoveries.
This week, researchers found that cloud “engineering” could be more effective for climate cooling than previously thought — plus much more from the exciting world of science.
This week, researchers found that proteins from tardigrades can slow down metabolism in human cells, potentially opening the door for new technologies that hinder the aging process.
This week, a new study found that leafhoppers, a common insect, secrete tiny particles that help them avoid detection from predators sensitive to light — a discovery that may help inform the development of camouflage technology.
This week, a new study documented the seismic signals produced by a Taylor Swift concert in Los Angeles and showed that each song had a different magnitude based on the amount of the crowd activity.
This week, a new study suggests that a genetic change in our ancient primate ancestors resulted in the loss of a tail, along with other health effects we still face today.
This week, a new study revealed the molecular processes behind hibernation, the process of energy conservation performed by many mammals during winter months.
This week, a new study revealed that smoking can have a major impact on your immune system, both in the short-term and long-term.
This week, a new study showed geological evidence of explosive eruptions and volcanic lighting playing a crucial role in the development of Earth's atmosphere.
This week, a new study identified a specific part of the brain that's responsible for learning and remembering movements.
