The signs were there.

The obesity drug liraglutide cut migraine days in half in a small trial, though more research is needed to exclude the placebo effect, researchers said.

"People have been asking why this cold spot exists."

An incredible moment!

One in three adults is affected.

Researchers at MIT have tested a new technology for turning water vapor in the atmosphere into drinkable water, even in extreme environments.

The detailed reconstruction brings the prehistoric hunter-gatherer to life, revealing an intriguing set of features.

This spectacular star-forming region is one of the first images from the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile.

Mars is smaller than Earth, but does it have any moons?

Look for the signs.

Like a monster Gila monster.

Archaeologists and students in the Netherlands have unearthed a 1,800-year-old temporary Roman military fort in the Netherlands.

A new connection emerges.

Researchers are merging multidisciplinary expertise with AI tools to document, reconstruct and preserve Europe's historical scents.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have developed a novel 3D printing technique that uses light to build complex structures, then cleanly dissolves the support material, expanding possibilities in multi-material additive manufacturing (AM).

Stay safe, stay cool.

Scientists have discovered the farthest-ever 'mini-halo,' a sea of charged particles around a distant galaxy cluster that could reveal unexpected insights about the ancient universe.

How do atoms form?

Yale University ecologists reveal a lizard lineage that rode out the dinosaur-killing asteroid event with unexpected evolutionary survival traits. Night lizards (family Xantusiidae) survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event 66 million years ago (formerly known as the K-T extinction) despite having small broods and occupying limited ranges, a departure from the theory of how other species are thought to have persisted in the aftermath of the event.

Don't fix what ain't broke.

This week, biologists discovered a new cellular organelle that's like "a new recycling center within the cell." Wild-growing tomatoes in the Galápagos are de-evolving. And geologists at the University of Southampton detected deep Earth pulses beneath Africa. Plus: Brain network functionality differs in people with psychopathic personality; sharks have a surprising vulnerability; and people with the highest measured IQ make better probabilistic predictions than people with the lowest IQ.

The smallest species of whale tricks its predators by gushing red gallons of red fluid into the water when under attack

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby establishing an entirely new frequency band for observing these cosmic ripples.

Scientists harnessed the unique properties of gallium to create the ink, which can be produced using conventional printing methods.

Everyone knows what a happy cat sounds like. But are they the only animals that purr?
