Experts lay bare the health effects of breathing in wildfire smoke and the steps that can be taken to reduce one’s risk.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida early Wednesday and deployed two commercial lunar landers on separate trajectories to reach the Moon in the next few months. The mission began with a middle-of-the-night…
Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results, according to a study published in Nature Human Behaviour. Scientific research is increasingly challenging due to the immense growth in published literature. Integrating noisy and voluminous findings to predict outcomes…
NASA astronaut Don Pettit has snapped a striking shot of the super-bright comet racing past our planet for the first time in 160,000 years, as it lit up the night skies across the globe.
Pension funds are dipping their toes into buying bitcoin, in a sign that even typically staid corners of finance are finding it hard to ignore the potential outsized returns from cryptocurrencies. Pension schemes for the states of Wisconsin and Michigan…
Astronomers have determined the internal composition of a distant, disintegrating planet for the first time.
Errors in quantum computers are an obstacle for their widespread use. But a team of scientists say that, by using an antimony atom and the Schrödinger’s Cat thought experiment, they could have found a way to stop them.
How much of your cognitive ability is shaped by your genetic inheritance compared to the environment you grow up in? A new study published in Research in Social Stratification and Mobility suggests that the transmission of cognitive ability from parents…
