As space agencies prepare for human missions to the Moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, affordable microscope that can image…

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules with a strong positive…

On January 19, the Webb space telescope stared deep into the chaotic world of Uranus for 17 hours, observing as the faint glow from molecules above the planet’s clouds meets its unusual magnetic field. The resulting data helped…

Triceratops and other horned dinosaurs had exceptionally large nasal cavities compared to most animals. To better understand what filled that space, researchers including a team from the University of Tokyo analyzed CT scans of fossilized…


A new investigation of ancient horned animal skulls found in Spain’s Des-Cubierta Cave deepens the mystery of when and why Neanderthals put them there.
According to multiple lines of evidence, the skulls weren’t all placed there at the same…
