Researchers have gained important insight into how the human brain processes an object in the visual system and where in the brain this processing takes place. The study shows people perceive objects differently depending on their prior knowledge and experience with that object.

St. Jude Global and international partners launched SAFER Ukraine to help Ukrainian children with cancer and blood disorders safely continue treatment, creating a model for how organizations can respond to other crises.

A person's blood type may be linked to their risk of having an early stroke, according to a new meta-analysis. The meta-analysis included all available data from genetic studies focusing on ischemic strokes, which are caused by a blockage of blood flow to the brain, occurring in younger adults under age 60.

New research confirms that ethnicity is a risk factor for developing kidney disease in people with Type 1 diabetes. The findings also show people of African-Caribbean heritage and living with diabetes have nearly a 60 percent greater risk of advanced kidney disease.

A new method for correcting errors in the calculations of quantum computers potentially clears a major obstacle to a powerful new realm of computing.

The risk of children being orphaned per COVID-19 death is highest in the poorest countries and those where people of reproductive age have the highest rates of non-communicable diseases, according to a new study.

A review of 22 previously published studies suggests that taking micro-breaks -- discontinuing a task for periods of 10 minutes or less -- is generally associated with reduced fatigue and increased vigor.

A new study points to possible new treatments for chronic pain with a surprising link to lung cancer. Findings of the research, conducted in laboratory mouse models, open up multiple therapeutic opportunities that could allow the world to improve chronic pain management and eclipse the opioid epidemic.

The MOXIE experiment has now produced oxygen on Mars. It is the first demonstration of in-situ resource utilization on the Red Planet, and a key step in the goal of sending humans on a Martian mission.

Researchers have documented that corals can pass mutations acquired during their lifetimes to their offspring, providing increased genetic diversity for potential evolutionary adaptation.

Researchers know about many of cilia's roles, but not exactly how they beat in the first place. A new mathematical model aims to uncover the secret to cilia's beating motions.

Scientists have developed the most accurate model yet of how the coronavirus particles rotate, according to their ellipsoidal shape.

A fully automated and normalized body composition analysis of abdominal CT has promise to augment traditional cardiovascular risk prediction models.

A new study that looked at health data from the UK found people with a folic acid prescription were 1.5 times as likely to get COVID-19 and were more than 2.6 times as likely to die from COVID-19 compared to the control group.

The expansion of telehealth services during the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with individuals staying in treatment longer and reducing their risk of medically treated overdose, according to a new study.

Two pioneering studies have identified genetic signatures explaining ethnic differences in the severity of prostate cancer, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.

NASA's MAVEN and the United Arab Emirates' EMM missions have released joint observations of dynamic proton aurora events at Mars. By combining the observations, scientists determined that what they were seeing was essentially a map of where the solar wind was raining down onto the planet, opening new avenues for understanding the Martian atmosphere.

Nuclear physicists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have new evidence that particles called gluons reach a steady 'saturated' state inside the speeding ions. The evidence is suppression of back-to-back pairs of particles emerging from collisions between protons and heavier ions (the nuclei of atoms), as tracked by RHIC's STAR detector. The STAR...

A new study could lead to ongoing health monitoring of astronauts to assess possible health risks and prevent disease progression.

According to a new study from an international team led by researchers, the oxygen-deficient zones that occur in the open ocean shrank in long warm periods of the past.

Most of us think little of why we feel pleasantly full after eating a big holiday meal, why we start to cough after accidentally inhaling campfire smoke, or why we are hit with sudden nausea after ingesting something toxic. However, such sensations are crucial for survival: they tell us what our bodies need at any given moment so that we can quickly adjust our behavior.

The protons and neutrons that build the nucleus of the atom frequently pair up. Now, a new high-precision experiment has found that these particles may pick different partners depending on how packed the nucleus is. The data also reveal new details about short-distance interactions between protons and neutrons in nuclei and may impact results from experiments seeking to tease out further details...

Neuroscientists discovered the mechanism underlying the oscillator circuit that controls the rhythmic extension and retraction of whiskers in mice.

New research has found women -- when height is accounted for -- have a 50% higher risk of developing the abnormal heart rhythm disturbance when compared to men.
