The extreme collision that created one of the moon’s largest craters, 3.8 billion years ago, has been reconstructed by scientists from MIT and elsewhere. Retracing the moon’s dramatic response in the first hours following the massive…

No significant difference among amitriptyline, topiramate and placebo in reducing headache days or related disability has been proved in a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. "The study was intended to demonstrate…

When buildings collapse and the land underneath subsides the results can be extremely catastrophic, and quite costly. But genetically engineered microbes may one day keep that from happening if researchers in the United Kingdom are…

A batch of rapidly spinning stars that produce X-rays at more than 100 times the peak levels ever seen from the sun, have been discovered by astronomers using observations from NASA's Kepler and Swift missions. These stars are thought to…

A team of Vanderbilt scientists have developed a probe, which is a genetically modified form of luciferase, the enzyme that a number of other species including fireflies use to produce light. The technique was created by the scientists…

Recently, in artificial-intelligence research, the best-performing systems have come courtesy of neural networks, which look for patterns in training data that yield useful predictions or classifications. For instance, a neural net might…

A 3D printed cosmic microwave background has been created by researchers, which is a map of the oldest light in the universe. The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), a glow that the universe has in the microwave range, that maps the…

The world’s first giant outside air vacuum cleaner, is what Dutch inventors are calling their latest work- a large purifying system intended to filter out toxic tiny particles from the atmosphere surrounding the machine. A spokesman for…
