In a recent study, scientists explored how bottlenose dolphins respond to electric fields. They discovered that some dolphins can detect really faint electric fields as weak as 2.4 microvolts per centimeter. This ability is even more remarkable than that...

In a new research reported by University College London (UCL), physicists may have just cracked the code to unite Einstein's gravity theory with the peculiar rules of quantum mechanics. If their theory holds up, it might untangle a mystery...

Scientists have created tiny living robots, called Anthrobots, from human cells that can move across a surface and encourage the growth of neurons. The discovery is a starting point for the researchers’ vision to use Anthrobots as new therapeutic tools...

Fossilized remains from a giant flying reptile, dubbed by scientists The Dragon of Death,  have recently been discovered in Argentina. The newly discovered species was the size of a bus and hunted prey from Earth's skies around 86 million years...

Scientists have revised their calculations of the total number of Tyrannosaurus Rexes (T-Rexes) that ever lived on Earth. New research indicates that a whopping 1.7 billion T-Rexes roamed our planet throughout its history. Back in April 2021, a study published...

Researchers say that ancient Greek vases dating back to 450 to 440 BC used in the funeral rites of the elite most likely used gypsum in their distinctive white backgrounds. Most kraters created in ancient Greece had red backgrounds, although...

Two teams of Greek students from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and from the University of Thessaly were distinguished for two separate projects in the acclaimed international competition in synthetic biology, iGem 2023, which took place in Paris earlier...

Eötvös Loránd University scientists Dr. Ádám Sturm and Dr. Tibor Vellai have made a new breakthrough in figuring out why we age. Their research focused on something called "transposable elements" (TEs) in our DNA. Think of TEs as movable parts...

In a recent study conducted by the University of Plymouth, it has been revealed that a common disinfectant, bleach, often used in hospitals to cleanse medical attire and surfaces, is ineffective against a widespread superbug. Unaffected spores by bleach The research...

The world's first treatment using CRISPR therapy, a gene-editing technology, got the green light on November 16, 2023. Casgevy, also called Exa-cel, got the approval from the U.K. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) less than a week ago....

Over five thousand years ago, hunter-gatherers from Mexico moved to California. A recent genetic study suggests those indigenous Mexicans might have brought unique languages from the south about a thousand years earlier than previously thought. This new discovery questions the...

In the early days of high explosives, they were risky, hard to control, and could explode with the slightest touch. These explosives, made from a mix of gold, ammonia, and chlorine, stood out for being dangerous and leaving behind...
