Researchers have alloyed arsenic with phosphorus to create single-atom-thick ribbons that are highly conductive, making them ideal candidates for use in next-generation batteries, solar cells and quantum computers.

For the first time, scientists have identified a marker in the retina that may lead to Parkinson’s disease, and it can be detected early, which could be life-changing for those at risk of developing this or other degenerative conditions.

Researchers have identified the molecular pathway that allows male mosquitoes to hear females, which is crucial to their reproduction. It could lead to insecticides that exploit this pathway to control mosquito populations and reduce disease transmission.

Postnatal depression is a well-known condition affecting women. Now, a new study has found that men with a history of being prescribed antidepressants are significantly more likely to require antidepressants in the first year after having a child.

Researchers from University College London's Institute of Archaeology have uncovered a cache of 800 stone artefacts dating to more than 300,000 years ago. The find includes one of the largest hand-axes ever unearthed in Britain.

Physical activity at any age has a broad range of health benefits. However, if you’re not getting enough sleep in your 50s and 60s, exercise of any kind may not be doing as much heavy lifting to offset cognitive decline as you think it is.

Daytime napping. Some people swear by it, and some people don’t - or can't - get into the habit. A new study has found that those who are genetically predisposed to taking regular daytime naps may have larger, healthier brains as a result.

Scottish woman Jo Cameron is a medical marvel who feels little pain, fear or anxiety, and had faster wound healing, thanks to a specific gene mutation. Now, scientists have studied why in more detail, in the hopes of unlocking future drug targets.

Heart failure can be caused by multiple factors, requiring different treatments. Researchers have trained machine learning models using a large dataset to identify five subtypes of heart failure, which may improve risk prediction and treatment.

Modern cancer treatments have greatly improved survival rates, but one huge side effect of some drugs is serious heart damage. In a breakthrough discovery, scientists have found the link that could lead to treatments that don't also attack the heart.

Researchers from University College London and the University of Potsdam, Germany have studied two most massive touching stars in a neighboring galaxy that will eventually turn into black holes and collide, sending ripples through space and time.

For drug-resistant epileptics, surgery is often the only way to stop seizures. But for those with frontal lobe epilepsy, it's not always successful. New research has uncovered brain connections that may explain why some surgeries are more effective.
