Chronic inflammation may be quietly reshaping the colon and making it more vulnerable to early-onset colorectal cancer. Scientists found that colon tissue in younger patients was stiffer, even in ...

Using robotic fins, researchers at the University of California, Riverside have learned how stingrays are able to swim with ...

Gemstones like precious opal are beautiful to look at and deceivingly complex. As you look at such gems from different angles, you'll see a variety of tints glisten, causing you to question what color ...

Roboticists have built the world’s smallest autonomous robot, capable of making decisions, moving independently and surviving for months. The microscopic bot is smaller than a grain of salt and costs ...

Abstract: We present a general approach for integrating space–time array dynamics into a Fourier-domain remote sensing system design that is based on individual antenna trajectories in a multiscale ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

Certain species of fish can be up to two times bigger when living in protected offshore wind farm zones, a new study has found. Not only do the rough surfaces of turbine monopiles and submarine cables ...

Step aside, Van Gogh. Some spiders are out here making self-portraits for survival. New research shows that several orb-weaving species construct giant web-mounted “doppelgängers” convincing enough to ...

“The AToM dual-robotic manufacturing system enables tool-less, in-space fabrication of large, high-performance thermoplastic composite structures, freeing future space platforms from Earth-bound size, ...
