I am one of a growing group of evolutionary biologists who believe that non-genetic inheritance plays a vital role in evolvability. This has practical implications. Faced with climate change, species must adapt fast or go extinct, and evidence is mou

A minimally invasive procedure provided significant relief from knee pain and may prevent the need for knee replacement surgery in people with osteoarthritis, according to a new study.
Five months ago, I was an emergency heart patient determined through a catheterization diagnosis. Two cardiac arteries were almost completely blocked. The doctor said I needed urgent care, but was put on a waiting list. After my sister, who is a nurs
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have a new way to use data from high-energy particle smashups to peer inside protons.
This series delves into research by renowned medical doctors to explore profound questions about consciousness, existence, and what may lie beyond.
"As a neurosurgeon, I was taught that the brain creates consciousness," said Dr. Eben Alexander,
It looks like meat, tastes like meat, and is made from real animal cells--but lab-grown meat is under attack.
Florida and Alabama don't want you to try it. Why?
Rep. Kiley has introduced legislation to make the Office of Commercial Space Transportation report directly to the Secretary of Transportation. This comes after Rep. Kiley questioned Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Michael Whitake
The Hanboost C1 wireless ultrasonic cutter can precisely slice through a vast array of materials ?" wood, plastics, leather, rubber, paper ?" silently, using 40,000 vibrations per second to make even the most fiddly jobs look easy. No tearing, no
Previous techniques have also used laser pulses to encode data into diamonds, but the higher storage density afforded by the new method means a diamond optical disc with the same volume as a standard Blu-ray could store approximately 100 terabytes of
Fossil evidence shows that the first dinosaurs ?" marked notably by hip joints that position the legs under the body like mammals, rather than sprawled out to the sides like lizards ?" appeared more than 230 million years ago during the Triassic
The initiative led by Open AI CEO Sam Altman to create a global identity system through iris scanning has landed in Brazil. But what about privacy, transparency and the ethical implications of such a vast biometric project?
One of the ways we know this is because when light travels along that curved space-time, it curves along with it. This results in light that reaches us all warped and stretched and replicated and magnified, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing
The discovery tells us several things. First, that the delivery of water to Mars during the early days of the Solar System was similar to that of Earth. Second, the presence of hot water could be consistent with the kinds of extremophile microbial li
Recently, Kirsch received a treasure trove of documents from a source inside the CDC "showing they've known for over 20 years that Dr. Wakefield was right: vaccines cause autism. These documents have never been made publicly available. The docume
This audio podcast comes via Here Come the Meat Bastards: James talk to Kate Ledogar of Here Come the Meat Bastards about who to place your trust in and how to shift someone's paradigm (hint: it might not be possible).
The first direct visualization of the shape of a photon has been created. These particles of light are impossible to photograph, but physicists at the University of Birmingham have now calculated their wave function to produce an accurate image of a
Dr. Stephen Hussey shares his personal health journey as a Type 1 diabetic and how his experiences led him to explore alternative views on cardiovascular health. Despite following a low-carb diet and maintaining excellent metabolic markers, Hussey su
According to a recent study, covid lockdowns accelerated brain ageing in adolescent girls, showing 4.2 years of brain age acceleration compared to 1.4 years in males.
When it comes to dietary supplements, all products are not created equal. A label can identify the presence of a specific ingredient without indicating if it's from a natural, bioavailable and biocompatible source, or from a synthetic, inorganic so
A recent study has found that frequent use of high-potency cannabis can leave measurable changes to human DNA, raising concerns about the mental health impacts of increasingly available and more potent marijuana products.
