Adults with ADHD are at greater risk of developing a range of cardiovascular diseases than those without the condition, according to a large observational study.

As the frequency of wildfires has increased, so have pollutants in the waters from burned watersheds, say researchers in a review paper that highlights the need for more research in the area.

Researchers have studied the emergence of hypoxia -- low oxygen levels -- in the Gulf over three decades, a stressor on the health of marine life in the region and the larger ecosystem.

New research shows that moral values predict regional differences in COVID-19 vaccination rates beyond structural, demographic and political barriers to vaccination.

It isn't every day that we learn something that fundamentally changes how we understand our world. But for volcanologists across the globe, such a revelation has occurred.

The current U.S. trajectory to decouple from China on clean energy technologies can harm national and global efforts to mitigate climate change, reveals a new study.

Indiana high school students with disabilities who spent 80 percent of their educational time in general education classrooms scored higher on state reading and math assessments and were better prepared for postsecondary education and employment opportunities than their peers in less inclusive settings, according to a new study.

By developing predictive models that incorporate climate and landscape variables, researchers have accurately forecasted the prevalence and distribution of Lyme disease bacteria. Such a tool could be a powerful public health asset, the researchers say.

Over the past two years, machine learning has revolutionized protein structure prediction. Now there's a similar revolution in protein design. Biologists show that machine learning can be used to create protein molecules much more accurately and quickly than previously possible. By creating new, useful proteins not found in nature, they hope this advance will lead to many new vaccines,...

Researchers have discovered a 380-million-year-old heart -- the oldest ever found -- alongside a separate fossilized stomach, intestine and liver in an ancient jawed fish, shedding new light on the evolution of our own bodies.

Infections treated with specialty hospital care in early- and mid-life are associated with an increased subsequent risk of Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD), but not amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), according to a new study.

Scientists propose a lost moon of Saturn, which they call Chrysalis, pulled on the planet until it ripped apart, forming rings and contributing to Saturn's tilt.

The availability of rapid antigen tests has significantly advanced efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, but every new variant of concern raises questions about whether diagnostic tests will still be effective. A new study attempts to address these questions by evaluating how rapid tests will perform when challenged with future SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Physicists have demonstrated a design principle for predicting whether metallic compounds are likely to host topological states that arise from strong electron interactions. The method cross-references theoretical models for 'Weyl-Kondo semimetals' that are based on realistic crystal structures with information from a materials database.

Scientists show that Schwann cells take over functions of immune cells in nerve healing. Similar mechanisms could prevent nerve tumors from growing.

Researchers studied patients receiving periodontal care, dental cleanings or no dental care during 2016-2018 and who had acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) in 2017. They found that patients who had heart attacks and received periodontal maintenance care had the shortest length of stay in the hospital, and more follow-up visits. The longest length of stay was experienced by the...

Scientists have decoded visual images from a dog's brain, offering a first look at how the canine mind reconstructs what it sees.

Although the brain is divided into two halves, it is not exactly a mirror image. Some functions are processed more on the left side, others more on the right. Scientists have now discovered heritable underpinnings of brain asymmetry and how much we share with monkeys.

Thanks to two novel tools, the traditionally difficult surgery to create a replacement ear from a patient's rib cartilage may soon be done faster, more simply and accurately.

A rare but potentially debilitating brain disorder finally has a definitive cause, thanks to research teams working on opposite sides of the globe. A mutation in the gene that manages the transportation out of cells of zinc, an essential dietary micronutrient, is responsible for the disorder, called hypomyelinating leukodystrophy.

Bright, uniquely colored songbirds are at higher risk of extinction and more likely to be traded as pets. Researchers also predict that almost 500 additional bird species, most of them living in the tropics, are at risk of future trade based on their unique and desirable coloration.

Researchers have discovered a new extinct species of lizard-like reptile that belongs to the same ancient lineage as New Zealand's living tuatara. A team of scientists describe the new species Opisthiamimus gregori, which once inhabited Jurassic North America about 150 million years ago alongside dinosaurs like Stegosaurus and Allosaurus. In life, this prehistoric reptile would have been about 16...

Scientists have created a 'digital mask' that will allow facial images to be stored in medical records while preventing potentially sensitive personal biometric information from being extracted and shared.

Astronomers risk misinterpreting planetary signals in James Webb data if models to interpret the data don't improve, a new study finds.
