Since the last flight of the Concorde, a turbo-jet powered supersonic passenger plane, in 2003, jet travel has been stubbornly stuck at the same subsonic speed.
Ten amazing projects built by teens.
A theoretical physicist at MIT shares what we actually know about toying with the arrow of time.
Giving a whole new meaning to “pregnancy brain,” a new study shows that male DNA — likely left over from pregnancy with a male fetus — can persist in a woman’s brain throughout her life.
Why do teenagers seem so much more impulsive, so much less self-aware than grown-ups?
When a new drug gets tested, the results of the trials should be published for the rest of the medical world -- except much of the time, negative or inconclusive findings go unreported...
Gravity. The stars in day. Thoughts. The human genome. Time. Atoms. So much of what really matters in the world is impossible to see.
Using little more than a backyard telescope and his experience observing the night sky, amateur astronomer Emmanuel Kardasis has produced a detailed map of Jupiter’s largest moon Ganymede.
THE GATEWAY TO DISCOVERY
Biology is making it clearer by the day that a man’s health and well-being have a measurable impact on his future children’s health and happiness. This is not because a strong, resilient man has a greater likelihood of being a fabulous dad — or not o
Now physicists say that adjustments can be made to the proposed warp drive that would enable it to run on significantly less energy, potentially bringing the idea back from the realm of science fiction into science.
"Healing touch" therapy combined with "guided imagery" led to a significant reductions in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms among active-duty military in a new study.
Mosquitoes can be quite the pest, especially if you are prone to getting bug bites and having swollen red marks all over your legs and arms as a result.
The claim needs to be verified by chemical authorities, but the team says it's the strongest evidence yet for the highly unstable element.
Ever-tinier pixels mean ever-higher resolutions and a wider angle of view for the holographic systems of the future.
Although boredom is often seen as a trivial and temporary discomfort that can be alleviated by a simple change in circumstances, it can also be a chronic and pervasive stressor that can have significant consequences for health and well-being.
Since the 1960s, when the defoliant Agent Orange was widely used in Vietnam, military, industry and environmental groups have debated the toxicity of its main ingredient, the chemical dioxin, and how it should be regulated.
A mouse that escapes predators by shedding patches of its skin may shed light on regeneration and could lead to research that one day helps people heal from wounds and disease, scientists say.
A mother may always have her children on her mind, literally. New findings reveal that cells from fetuses can migrate into the brains of their mothers, researchers say.
Mars planners suggest a robot-to-human hand-off in space.
Ever-tinier pixels mean ever-higher resolutions and a wider angle of view for the holographic systems of the future.
The first instrument ever built specifically to help astronomers study the effects of dark energy is now ready to document the history of the cosmos.
The claim needs to be verified by chemical authorities, but the team says it's the strongest evidence yet for the highly unstable element.
Melting Arctic snow isn’t as dramatic as melting sea ice, but the snow may be vanishing just as rapidly, with potentially profound consequences for weather in the United States.
Software that enables collaboration between labs could make it easier for doctors to translate genome information.
A channel run by science nerds for science nerds. We demonstrate science experiments for all levels, from kitchen chemistry to advanced synthesis. We make most of our chemicals or buy them from Alfa Aesar.
On the other hand, they found daily consumption of fruit and vegetables, regular alcohol consumption and regular physical activity were associated with 30 percent, 9 percent and 14 percent reduced risk for myocardial infarction, respectively. Th
These particles fall onto a block of salt which is heated to crystallise them, before the salt stand is dissolved in water. The film is scooped up onto filter paper and dried, after which it is robust enough to be picked up by a pair of tweezers.
a $250 million, Pentagon-funded exploit into regenerative medicine called AFIRM. His goal: to take those people ravaged by war, and help put them — quite literally — back together. Kohn himself pioneered a new class of degradable compounds that a
