New video from NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover chronicles major milestones during the final minutes of its entry, descent, and landing (EDL) on the Red Planet on Feb. 18 as the spacecraft plummeted, parachuted, and rocketed toward the surface of Mars. A microphone on the rover also has provided the first audio recording of sounds from Mars.

Researchers have found chemical residues of grapes in medieval containers indicating a prosperous wine trade in Islamic Sicily.

If depression is making it more difficult for some unemployed people to land a job, one type of therapy may help, research suggests. In a new study, 41% of unemployed or underemployed people undergoing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) found a new job or went from part- to full-time work by the end of the 16-week treatment for depression.

Astronomers have discovered that large galaxies are stealing the material that their smaller counterparts need to form new stars.

When you slip into sleep, it's easy to imagine that your brain shuts down, but new research suggests that groups of neurons activated during prior learning keep humming, tattooing memories into your brain.

Researchers are using a machine-learning approach to map landscape connectivity of the species Aedes aegypti, the so-called Yellow Fever mosquito, which is a primary vector for transmission of viruses causing dengue fever, chikungunya and Zika.

New research shows that the opioid and HIV epidemics are intertwined in West Virginia, and therefore should be treated together.

Researchers use bacteriotherapy to improve symptoms of atopic dermatitis.

The diversity and numbers of wild salmon in Northern B.C. have declined approximately 70 per cent over the past century, according to a new study.

A team of researchers has developed a mathematical means of assessing tests' false-negative rate.

Scientists have identified a new contender when it comes to quantum materials for computing and low-temperature electronics.

A team of quantum theorists seeking to cure a basic problem with quantum annealing computers -- they have to run at a relatively slow pace to operate properly -- found something intriguing instead.

A new study found that adults with Down syndrome are more likely to die from COVID-19 than the general population, supporting the need to prioritize vaccinating people with the genetic disorder.

A new study explores the impacts of climate warming on microbial network complexity and stability, providing critical insights to ecosystem management and for projecting ecological consequences of future climate warming.

Paper industry wastewater recycling is among the most energy-intensive chemical processes in the world. Researchers have found a method to engineer membranes made from graphene oxide that allow water to get through it much faster than through conventional membranes and, in the process, can save the paper industry more than 30% in energy costs of water separation.

Engineers describe a flexible film using a quasi-one-dimensional nanomaterial filler that combines excellent electromagnetic shielding with ease of manufacture.

Antibodies that guard against COVID-19 can transfer from mothers to babies while in the womb, according to a new study.

A federally approved heart medication shows significant effectiveness in interfering with SARS-CoV-2 entry into the human cell host, according to a new study.
