A team of scientists has explored the lingering effects of diet during childhood on the gut microbiome, demonstrating how unhealthy eating while young decreases the diversity of bacteria in the guts of mice over the longer term.

Scientists have estimated the total amount of matter in the universe using a more precise method. By calculating the mass of hundreds of galaxy clusters, the team found that matter makes up around a third of the contents of the universe.

In recent years astronomers made the puzzling discovery of two bizarre galaxies with almost no dark matter, which should dominate them. Now, a new study has suggested an explanation for that mystery – a larger nearby galaxy is stripping it away.

Were key components for supercapactirors to come from sustainable sources that would only add to their appeal, and scientists are offering up this possibility in the form of a nanomaterial made from upcycled plastic waste.

A new type of ultra-thin film with an incredible ability to change color as it is twisted or bent could one day make its way onto robots to give them chameleon-like skin, or into cash as a means of verifying its authenticity.

The fossilized remains of the oldest known ancestor of almost every animal have been discovered. The creature, named Ikaria wariootia, is a wormlike animal about the size of a grain of rice, and it's the earliest example of the bilaterian body shape.

Scientists have now come up with a new way of quickly identifying oxygen in the atmospheres of distant worlds, with plans to apply the technique to the observations of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope which is slated to launch next year.

All sorts of health problems arise when as you take humans out into space. New microgravity simulations show that our guts can become “leaky” after a stint in space, increasing the chances of certain infections and diseases for weeks afterwards.

Researchers have offered new evidence suggesting dysfunction in the lysosome system, our body’s cellular garbage disposal mechanism, could be the underlying cause of Alzheimer’s. The hypothesis isn't entirely new but the research explains how lysosomal failure can lead to neurodegenerative disease.

They're known as deepfakes – photos or videos that have been very convincingly manipulated to depict people saying or doing things that they never actually said or did. They're potentially quite the problem, so an experimental new deep neural network has been designed to spot them.

ScienceAn estimated 429,000 people die from malaria annually. And while it's tempting to spray heavily for the mosquitoes that spread the disease, conventional insecticides are also toxic to humans and other animals. Now, however, a neurotoxin has been discovered that only kills the offending mosquitoes.

In the developing world, about 10 percent of medications are actually inferior counterfeits of the real thing. Unfortunately, these same regions often lack the equipment needed for detecting those fakes. An inexpensive new system, however, could remedy that problem.
