The team embedded electrodes into live cockroaches, then outfitted them with cameras and injection devices to deliver medication via remote control.

The mission to Phobos, Japan’s first Mars probe launch in 28 years, may reveal new information about our closest planetary neighbor.

New findings shed light on what’s making the parasite less treatable using the drug that’s considered a first line of defense.

This year’s El Niño is shaping up to be the strongest on record. Here’s what to expect.

A discovery in a solar system 73 light-years from Earth is challenging definitions and “blurring the lines between stars, planets, and moons.”

The latest estimates reveal that the majority of greenhouse gas emissions from large-scale events such as the FIFA World Cup stem from spectators traveling to host cities.

A recent study suggests that not getting enough sleep increases the risk of weight gain, and thus of conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

The probe sent back the first pictures of the asteroid Kamo’oalewa. Next step: landing on the surface and collecting samples to send back to Earth.

A large-scale clinical trial has shown that even long-term consumption of DHA—an omega-3 fatty acid found in abundance in oily fish—may not lead to improvements in cognitive function.

Aa large-scale study demonstrates that preservatives widely used in everyday processed foods may exacerbate common health risks.

Researchers say the discovery could be a “Rosetta stone” for cosmic signals.

It’s long been accepted that the smoother the surface, the lower the aerodynamic drag. That turns out not always to be the case.

Scientists have quantified what draws mosquitoes to people—which could help make better, life-saving bug traps.

Researchers in Japan pioneered reprogrammed cells 20 years ago. Now the country has given the first-ever authorizations to manufacture and sell medical products based on the technology.

Researchers have succeeded in developing the smallest fully autonomous robot in history. It measures less than 1 millimeter and can swim underwater for months powered only by light.

A research team has successfully imaged a nova in high resolution—and the images suggest that the nova was not a single, impulsive explosion.

Back pain is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. Recent research reveals how much time you should spend walking on a daily basis to prevent it.

The “super flu” behind outbreaks in the US and UK is a new variant of influenza A H3N2, subclade K. Existing vaccines appear to be insufficiently effective against the virus.

Research shows that people who sleep poorly tend to have brain age that is older than their actual age. Chronic inflammation in the body caused by poor sleep likely plays a part.

Drinking water in plastic bottles contains countless particles too small to see. New research finds that people who drink water from them on a daily basis ingest far more microplastics than those who don’t.

Although wolf-canine interbreeding has been considered extremely rare, the latest research shows that many present-day canines carry a small amount of wolf genes.

An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the Thwaites Glacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be only a matter of time.

An archaeological mystery gets one step closer to being solved.

This long-duration comet will make its closest approach to Earth this fall, before disappearing into the outer solar system for another 1,000 years.

Climate change, pollution, and fishing are pushing oceans closer to their limits at an unprecedented rate. The pressure of that human impact is expected to double by 2050, according to a new study.

Swedish researchers have developed two types of 3D bioprinting technology to artificially generate skin containing blood vessels. It could be a breakthrough in the quest to regenerate damaged skin.

Researchers are working on manipulating the digestive systems of wax worms to create a scalable way of disposing of plastic.

NISAR, a giant orbiting antenna 39 feet in diameter, will monitor changes to glaciers, forests, and the Earth’s crust, providing data to help improve infrastructure and disaster responses.

A giant gas planet comparable in size to Saturn exists around a small red dwarf star. The discovery is beyond the scope of conventional astronomy theory, and is making experts reconsider conventional notions of planet formation.

A new species of cable bacteria, which function like electrical wiring, was recently discovered in the US. Its unique morphology and genetic structure may be useful for the development of bioelectronics.
