ISS BioAsteroid study shows bacteria and fungi can extract metals from meteorite material in microgravity, offering insights for future space resource use ...

A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot one, provided the right quantum conditions are in place. This ...

Thirty years ago the world's longest running evolution experiment began when scientist Richard Lenski seeded 12 identical flasks with E. coli bacteria. Every subsequent day someone in the lab has ...

While participants made these choices, the research team applied transcranial alternating current stimulation to the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain. This non-invasive stimulation was designed ...

Scientists are conducting a long-term experiment on evolution to investigate how single-celled organisms could evolve into multicellular lifeforms. After thousands of generations, their yeast grew ...

Science is built on reproducibility; if someone else can replicate your results, chances are pretty good that you’re looking at the truth. And there’s no statute of limitations on reproducibility; ...

What is the most beautiful experiment in physics? Robert P Crease invites your suggestions Small wonder: this STM image of an oval-shaped array of iron atoms on a copper surface is a real experimental ...
