Neurologists have managed to pin down a sequence of actions in brain cells linked with the experience of perception - getting a little bit closer to the source of consciousness in our brains.

It's no secret that United States-Russia relations are currently rife with tension and mistrust. The news is full of reports of Russia meddling in US elections, seeding US media with fake news, supporting the Syrian regime and so on.

When it comes to the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI) in the Universe, there is the complicated matter of what to be on the lookout for.

A neural network has taught itself to ‘imagine’ a scene from different viewpoints, including how shadows move and textures vary, based on just a single image

Would you bet your money on it?

A type of chlorophyll discovered just a few years ago is pushing the limits of photosynthesis and the role this new pigment plays.

In 1935, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen hypothesised the existence of wormholes - a sort of "bridge" connecting two regions of space, due to extreme gravitational warping of spacetime.

This is how they get drug resistance.

Quantum technology promises big things for digital security and computing power, but the very thing it relies upon - quantum entanglement - has so far proven too fickle to reliably control.

The universe that Stephen Hawking spent a lifetime studying now knows his voice.

Humanity has long dreamed about sending humans to other planets, even before crewed spaceflight became a reality. And with the discovery of thousands exoplanets in recent decades, particularly those that orbit within neighboring star systems (like&

How do migrating birds know where to go? New research suggests “spooky action at a distance” might be involved.

One of the weirder aspects of quantum mechanics could be explained by an equally weird idea – that causation can run backwards in time as well as forwards.

For almost two centuries, scientists have observed the strange dimming of a star over a two-year period. Today's instruments may finally be able to describe what's going on.

AI knows when you're going to die. But unlike in sci-fi movies, that information could end up saving lives.

It's not just coastal regions that will be affected.

A physics laboratory in Tennessee just unveiled Summit, likely to be named the world's speediest and smartest supercomputer.

Like the gravitational waves left behind by merging black holes, detectable ripples in space-time could come from colliding wormholes.

Some people get barely any symptoms and recover rapidly. Others end up confined to bed, surrounded by used tissues. For those with compromised immune systems or respiratory conditions, it can even be life-threatening.
