The Italian tourism ministry thought it had a sure-fire way to bring travelers into the country: turning a 15th century art icon into a 21st century "virtual influencer."

La ciencia moderna sugiere que nosotros y todos nuestros logros y recuerdos estamos destinados a desaparecer como un sueño. ¿Eso es triste o bueno?

As more young people risk hearing loss, over-the-counter hearing aids are providing new options, but also confusing choices.

Finding a full-time faculty job can be a daunting challenge for doctoral graduates. University of Cincinnati anthropologist Kathleen Grogan says postdoctoral researchers can benefit from having peers review their applications.

The longer a person’s telomeres, researchers found, the greater the risk of cancer and other disorders, challenging a popular hypothesis about the chromosomal roots of vitality.

Since 2015, the average homeowner has seen the bill for their property coverage grow by roughly 21 percent.

Scientists in Brazil may have observed the first example of an amphibian pollinating a flowering plant.

Stargazers in Asia and Australia had the best seats for the year's first lunar eclipse.

Scientists at the Department of Genetics, Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School have discovered something remarkable while studying phosphate transport in fruit fly intestines—a never before seen organelle. Their results are published in the journal Nature, and a News and Views piece in the same journal discusses their findings.

Researchers at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory captured one of the fastest movements of a molecule called ferricyanide for the first time by combining two ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy techniques. They think their approach could help map more complex chemical reactions like oxygen transportation in blood cells or hydrogen production using artificial photosynthesis.

An analysis of ancient mammoth tusks has revealed that they underwent musth just like modern elephants do.

In an announcement on Friday, the head of the beleaguered agency said she would step down in June.

Brownfield restoration has become a frontier topic in the research on urban ecosystem governance. Optimizing brownfield ecosystems through proper bioremediation approaches can provide urban landscapes and habitats with sound ecological potentials. Currently, the lagging theory and technique development of brownfield vegetation restoration, the species selection based on single causality, and the neglect of community structure and ecological functions formation have become major bottlenecks of brownfield restoration.

A scientist will attempt to turn seismic activity—recorded in real time at Yellowstone National Park—into music during an ambitious live performance on Tuesday, May 9.

The Middle East and North African region lose about $13 billion a year because of increasing sand and dust storms. By combining learnings from artificial intelligence and 3000-year-old sustainable methods, researchers might be on the way to finding out how to mitigate the damages.

Poorly monitored badger farming and illegal poaching in South Korea is a cause for concern for wildlife and human health, with regulation of the trade urgently needed, according to a new study involving UCL researchers.

As humans contemplate life on other planets, we are immediately confronted with two choices. One is a journey to another solar system that would take tens of thousands of years (with current technology), requiring around 2,000 generations to live out their existence in the cramped confines of a spacecraft while adhering to a strict population control scheme. The other choice is Mars.

Led by Jizhong Zhou, Ph.D., the director of the Institute for Environmental Genomics at the University of Oklahoma, an international research team conducted a long term experiment that found that climate warming reduced the diversity of and significantly altered the community structure of soil archaea. Their findings are published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Oregon State Parks said several lancetfish have washed up on beaches in recent weeks in a highly unusual spate of strandings.

In August 2020, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced a change in the Fed's inflation strategy: they would be implementing a strategy called average inflation targeting (AIT), which allows inflation to move above and below the target rate of 2% so that it averages out to 2% over time. This differs from the previous strategy of traditional inflation targeting, in which the intent is to return inflation to the 2% target regardless of how long it has deviated from that rate.
