A new study found that sugar consumption disrupts the microbiome and leads to a loss of immune cells in mice. The researchers draw a strong connection between the loss of these immune cells and cardiometabolic diseases, such as diabetes.

A new analysis of 11 teeth found in a cave in Jersey, an island in the English Channel, suggests that some of them could have belonged to individuals that had mixed Neanderthal and early modern human ancestry.

The happier we feel, the less likely we are to experience memory decline.

A new theory explains the mysterious explosion in Siberia, scientists say, suggesting Earth barely escaped a far greater catastrophe.

An international research collaboration has discovered the fastest possible speed of sound. The upper limit was found to be about 36 km per second.

The out-of-this-world find is being hailed as a "scientific sensation." The meteorite was first dug up in 1989 and sat in a garden for decades before the homeowner shared his unusual rock with researchers.

Soil’s earthy smell comes from chemicals produced by bacteria called Streptomyces, which use the odour to attract springtails to help disperse their spores

This is the first time researchers have done an in-depth analysis of ancient DNA from western Central Africa.

English is the world’s dominant scientific language, yet it has no word for the distinctive smell of cockroaches. What happens though, if you have no words for basic scientific terms?

Some of these ancient grains are billions of years older than our sun.

Until now, there's been little evidence our evolutionary relatives could swim.

New evidence helps resolve a debate over how long ago Home erectus survived in what’s now Indonesia, a study finds.

For three hurricane seasons in a row, storms with record-breaking rainfall have caused catastrophic flooding in the southern United States. A new analysis by Princeton researchers explains why this trend is likely to continue with global warming: Both the higher moisture content of warmer air and storms’ increasing wind speeds conspire to produce wetter storms.

Dead bodies move on their own after death — likely due to processes of decomposition, researchers suspect, pointing to implications for forensic science.

This case is based on publication in literature by Harrison R, Warburton V, Lux A, Atan D. Ann Intern Med. 2019 Sep 3.

The 347 scientists who collaborated to produce the world's first image of a black hole were honored Thursday with the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, winning $3 million dollars for what is known as the "Oscars of science."

Last week, a young woman with sickle cell anemia became the first person in the United States to have her cells altered with CRISPR gene editing technology. Here's what that means for the future treatment of genetic diseases.

A unique longitudinal study provides a more complete understanding of how parents’ belittling and critical interactions with adolescents thwart their ability to maintain positive relationships with peers.

Wolves pose a uniquely difficult conservation issue.
