Although an increasing number of countries are switching to sturdier, harder-to-copy polymer banknotes, the things still are being counterfeited. A new technology could help weed those fakes out, by taking their fingerprints.

The common perception is that that it can be harder to shed excess pounds as we grow older, but a new study has contradicted this school of thought, indicating lifestyle changes can help tackle obesity regardless of age.

Debris orbiting in high Earth orbit is not being tracked closely enough, according to the results of a new survey, and could pose an unexpected threat to important satellites that provide communication, weather observation and navigation services.

Whether it occurs in a car, plane, boat or VR environment, motion sickness is no fun. According to new research, though, it's possible for people to "train their brain" out of the condition, potentially reducing the symptoms by more than half.

For the first time, astronomers have used a machine learning algorithm – a form of self-teaching AI – to confirm the existence of 50 new exoplanets in data collected by the now retired Kepler space telescope.

A Medieval medical book hold the key to new ways to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Scientists have found that a medical recipe from the ancient Bald's Leechbook is effective against five strains of bacteria that cause biofilm infections.

It goes without saying that as a chemist stirs a solution in their lab, they need to check how its characteristics change. A new "Smart Stirrer" has been designed with that in mind, as it automatically detects and reports transformations.

A supernova may seem like a pretty final fate, but now astronomers have discovered a star that apparently survived this explosive process. It wasn’t without consequence, however – the star was kicked out of a binary orbit and flung across the galaxy.

A team of researchers recently presented a font called Sans Forgetica, claiming it helps enhance memory. UK and New Zealand researchers have now put the font to the test, and reveal, while it may be difficult to read, it doesn't enhance memory.

British engineers are developing a modern version of the Negative Pressure Ventilator (NPV), more popularly known as the "iron lung," to provide COVID-19 patients under the care of the NHS with a simple, inexpensive alternative to ventilators.

A solar super-storm capable of seriously disrupting modern day technology has erupted from our Sun on average once every 25 years, according to a new study. The research used data collected by stations in the UK and Australia dating back 150 years.

The dream of a non-invasive device to continually monitor blood glucose levels has never become reality. The latest prospective technique, from the University of Warwick, uses artificial intelligence to detect low blood glucose from simple ECG data.
