Field research suggests a new explanation for the synchronized flashing in fireflies and confirms that a novel form of “chimeric” synchrony occurs naturally.

The U.S. health regulator on Wednesday approved Switzerland-based Ferring Pharmaceuticals' fecal transplant-based therapy to reduce the recurrence of a bacterial infection, making it the first therapy of its kind to be cleared in the United States.

Scientists hoping to harness nuclear fusion—the same energy source that powers the Sun and other stars—have confirmed that magnetic fields can enhance the energy output of their experiments, reports a new study. The results suggest that magnets may play a key role in the development of this futuristic form of power, which could theoretically provide a virtually limitless supply of clean energy. While this is an exciting prospect, most experts believe that it will take decades to engineer a working fusion reactor, assuming it is possible at all.

Scientists have been struggling for decades to answer a question an inquisitive child might ask: Where did the moon come from? Now, the most high resolution computer simulation ever made shows it could have been formed in a matter of hours following a collision between a proto-Earth and a Mars-sized orbital intruder.

"It’s really hard to articulate what the feeling is."

Researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research have revived more than a dozen prehistoric viruses that were previously trapped deep within the Siberian permafrost, according to a pre-print study.

Vaccine against all strains of virus hailed as major step in protecting against potentially devastating flu pandemic

Scientists have captured and modeled a key structure in the hepatitis C virus, which will pave the way for vaccine development.

Are you destined to become a 'SuperAger," with a memory as sharp in your 80s as it was in your 50s? Here's what science knows about those who keep their ability to remember as they age.

A new bit of research has discovered several puzzling changes in the brains of individuals that suffer from migraines

Seven viruses from the Siberian permafrost have been revived and replicated themselves in the lab – including the oldest revived so far

The skin off the legs of a mushroom could potentially offer a sustainable alternative to insulative substrates in computing chips. As production of electronic devices continues to increase, scientists are looking to insert a bit of nature and biodegradability into common components like the microchip, and believe it or not, peeling the skin off the mycelium of a mushroom can protect chips from heat up to 392°F (200°C.)

Wool rope could help cut marine plastic pollution and boost sheep farmer's incomes, scientists say.

Forward-looking: China and the United States compete in many areas, and it appears that the moon could become another area of contention for the two superpowers. The Asian nation plans to build its first lunar base by 2028, while the White House wants to bring humans to the surface by 2025.

Squeezing more slowly and doubling diameter of the nozzle can help prevent splatter

The twins were separated at age two, and upon reuniting in 2018, researchers found one had an IQ score 16 points lower than the other.

Spacetime may emerge from a more fundamental reality. Figuring out how could unlock the most urgent goal in physics—a quantum theory of gravity

Epigenetics study finds that children born during the historic recession have markers of accelerated ageing later in life.

It sounds like science fiction: people with end-stage liver disease are injected with cells from a donor liver and, in response, their body produces multiple mini livers that keep them healthy.

People don’t randomly select who they have children with. And that means an underlying assumption in research that tries to link particular genes to certain diseases or traits is wrong.
