Access to family members' drugs may be a strong risk factor for overdose in individuals without their own prescriptions, according to a new study.

Women tend to have a greater immune response to a flu vaccination compared to men, but their advantage largely disappears as they age and their estrogen levels decline, suggests a new study.

Modeling the shape and movement of near-Earth asteroids is now up to 25 times faster thanks to new research.

Physicists have theorized that a new type of material, called a three-dimensional (3-D) topological insulator (TI), could be a candidate to create qubits for quantum computing due to its special prope..

A new study describes how researchers wirelessly controlled FGFR1 — a gene that plays a key role in how humans grow from embryos to adults — in lab-grown brain tissue. The ability to manipulate the ..

The first direct measurement of the bar-shaped collection of stars at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy has been made by combining data from the Gaia mission with complementary observations by ground..

When it comes to mating displays, a little persistence can go a long way, at least for the greater sage grouse. Scientists have now used a custom-built statistical model to understand an underexplored..

Floating air particles following disasters and other geological events can have a lasting impact on life on Earth, and a new model drawing on chaos theory looks to help predict how these particles mov..

Since the emergence of molecular genetics, scientists have tried to isolate haploid mammalian cells. Haploid cells are a powerful genetic tool to analyse gene function. In the past decade, a number of..

Earthquakes are getting deeper at the same rate as the wastewater sinks.
