Researchers studying over 300,000 adults found that even light smoking—just two to five cigarettes a day—dramatically boosts the risk of heart disease and death. The benefits of quitting are ...

Ancient lentils preserved in volcanic silos link modern Canarian crops to 2,000-year-old North African origins. Lentils cultivated in the Canary Islands today have roots that extend nearly 2,000 years ...

New research challenges the long-standing idea that most fixed genetic mutations are neutral. For many years, scientists studying evolution have believed that most genetic changes influencing how ...

MIT engineers have created a way to pull clean drinking water from air far faster than current atmospheric water-harvesting ...

Scientists have engineered the first fully human-made bone marrow system, recreating the complex mix of cells, vessels, and nerves that normally live deep within our bones. This breakthrough lets ...

Zap Energy’s FuZE-3 device has reached giga-pascal-level plasma pressures thanks to a novel design that independently tunes acceleration and compression. These early results suggest rapid progress ...

A research team from the Space Robotics Laboratory at the University of Malaga, involved in the project, is testing and validating three robots on the volcanic island of Lanzarote, Spain. Protecting a ...

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have uncovered evidence that water once flowed beneath Martian sand dunes — suggesting that the Red Planet may have once had conditions capable of supporting life. Scienti ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, confirmed a colossal coronal mass ejection from a distant star, a blast so powerful it could strip the atmosphere from any nearby planet. Astronomers using the Eu ...

AI-powered chemical analysis uncovered faint biological fingerprints in some of Earth’s oldest rocks, pushing back the origins of oxygen-producing life.

Evidence from key archaeological sites suggests a major cosmic explosion may have reshaped the climate and ecosystems of the late Pleistocene. Scientists are expanding the evidence supporting the idea ...

In a first-in-human phase 1/2a clinical trial, researchers used adult stem cells to help restore vision in people with age-related macular degeneration. In the United States, age-related macular degen ...
