Spending quality time with dogs reduces stress and increases the power of brain waves associated with relaxation and concentration, according to a study.

A new study from University of Exeter scientists suggests that the pathway leading to menopause in humans might also explain the evolution of menopause in toothed whales.

A new tool will help orthodontists correctly fit braces onto teeth. Using artificial intelligence and virtual patients, the tool predicts how teeth will move, so as to ensure that braces are neither too loose nor too tight.

Targeting two brain tumor-associated proteins—rather than one—with CAR T cell therapy shows promise as a strategy for reducing solid tumor growth in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Researchers have discovered that symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are tied to atypical interactions between the brain’s frontal cortex and information processing centers deep in the brain.

Research led by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign uses polymer-based stretchable electrodes to remotely monitor plant growth, bringing scientists a step closer to growing plants in space to feed astronauts during long missions.

Allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs), a potentially life-threatening side effect of blood transfusions with unclear mechanisms, may be linked to food allergies in pediatric patients as per a recent study by scientists from Japan.

Despite being scattered across more than a million square kilometres, new research has revealed that remote coral reefs across the Seychelles are closely related.

Rainforest seedlings are more likely to survive in natural forests than in places where logging has happened – even if tree restoration projects have taken place, new research shows.

In astronomy and precision optics, coating devices in black paint can cut down on stray light, enhancing images and boosting performance. A new ultrablack thin-film coating absorbs 99.3% of light and is durable enough to survive in harsh conditions.
