Two studies pinpoint long-lived immune cells that "remember" allergies and likely sustain them through time.

The total solar eclipse on April 8 plunged Syracuse, New York's Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology into darkness for 90 seconds, creating a wondrous and memorable totality.

A mutant gene that produces proteins in sweat may raise some people's risk of Lyme disease, while the standard version of the gene may protect against infection.

The patch might offer a non-invasive communication tool for people who cannot speak due to vocal cord problems.

There's nothing faster than the speed of light. So, what would happen if a human managed to move at this universal speed limit?

Tiny models of the human placenta are helping scientists study which proteins and genes are key to maintaining a healthy pregnancy.

A new app could help make behavioral therapies aimed at easing distress from tinnitus more accessible, a small study suggests.

AI systems have the potential to help improve doctors' diagnoses, a new study suggests. But if bias is baked into the system, their diagnostic accuracy falls.

Researchers plugged a "brain organoid" into an artificial intelligence system, using the neural tissue to help complete computational tasks. The experiment could mark a step toward "biocomputers."

Early studies hint that a nerve block in the neck could help restore long COVID patients' normal sense of smell, but more research is needed.

There might be an advantage to separating scent information from each nostril, a new study hints.

A study of 30 women with regular menstrual cycles suggests that the structure of the brain fluctuates in time with hormonal shifts.

A newly described organelle in mammal cells may serve as a genome defense system and its function may reflect how the early nucleus formed.

The topographical features of DNA in the body may dictate where and when cancer-causing mutations appear in its code.

Scientists say they've identified a potential living relative of the ancient microbe that gave rise to the "powerhouse of the cell."

Researchers have confirmed the existence of an odd type of brain cell that other neuroscientists once thought might be only a technical quirk or error.

In animal studies, the weight-loss drug Ozempic has shown promise as an anti-addiction medicine. Whether it could work the same in humans remains to be seen.

New York City's normally good air quality rating recently plummeted to the worst of any major city in the world, as wildfire smoke drifted over the city from Canada.

Sleep apnea and a lack of deep sleep may be linked to abnormalities in the brain's white matter.

Researchers identified patterns of brain wiring that seem to be linked to a person's risk of having multiple psychiatric disorders.

Hormonal contraceptives slightly raise users' risk of breast cancer, regardless of whether they're combination or progestogen-only.

A study suggests that just one night of sleep deprivation may be linked to structural changes in the brain, similar to those seen in aging.
