You might think of lung cancer as a “smoker’s disease,” but new research suggests that isn’t the case at all. Instead, there are several factors that have been tied to genetic mutations which can contribute to the development of lung cancer in individuals with little to no…

That classic result was a way to transform any algorithm with a given time budget into a new algorithm with a slightly smaller space budget. Williams saw that a simulation based on squishy pebbles would make the new algorithm’s space usage much smaller—roughly equal to the square root of the…

A recent review published in The Lancet Haematology, led by Dr Ashley Benson and Dr Jamie Lo from Oregon Health and Science University, has reported that iron deficiency affects up to one in three women, making it the most common nutrient deficiency in the world.

It also supports energy…

On July 2, NASA revealed the existence of 3I/ATLAS, only the third ever interstellar object observed in the universe. These are objects that exist in interstellar space—the areas between stars—and which are not gravitationally bound to any star. The two other interstellar objects discovered…

An extinct genus of ray-finned fish that lived during the Jurassic period seems to have had quite the penchant for overreaching.

A new analysis of fossilized Tharsis fish reveals that the carnivorous marine animals seem to have frequently met their end with large cephalopods known as…

Blue moons and blood moons. While some of these names are meant to coincide with other astronomical or worldly event — the strawberry moon is so named because it’s the time when strawberries are usually ready to harvest in certain parts of the world — there’s no arguing that…

Atrophy comes for pretty much every part of our bodies, but the effects of time are particularly rough on the knees. Why? Because they’re complicated anatomical machines with a number of moving parts, all of which wear and tear with use.

As we age, the muscles that stabilise the knee weaken,…

AI researchers are set to explore how humans could “speak” with their pets, as the first scientific institution focused on investigating

A museum popular for its dinosaur displays has found a fossil bone in an unexpected location extremely close to home – under its own parking…

Lockheed Martin is trying to position itself as a savior for many NASA missions currently facing the chopping block at the hands of the Trump administration. The administration has already detailed massive budget cuts to NASA, which could include a complete shutdown of the Mars Sample…
