A new study of women's feet during and after pregnancy shows that arch height and arch rigidity decrease significantly from early pregnancy to five months after childbirth, causing corresponding increases in foot length that appear to be permanent.

NASA's Van Allen Probes mission has discovered a previously unknown third radiation belt around Earth, revealing the existence of unexpected structures and processes within these hazardous regions of space.

Candidate protoplanet spotted inside its stellar womb.

Engineers have developed a novel wireless, broadband, rechargeable, fully implantable brain sensor that has performed well in animal models for more than a year.

An international team of scientists has definitively measured the spin rate of a supermassive black hole for the first time.

Researchers have invented a circuit that makes it possible to test whether food inside packaging is still safe to eat. This development should drastically reduce the amount of edible food which is wasted every day.

A team of Italian researchers has developed a new imaging technique that uses infrared (IR) digital holography to peer through chaotic conflagrations and capture potentially lifesaving and otherwise hidden details.

New spin technique moves researchers closer to creating the first viable high-speed quantum computer.

Harvard research suggests real-world generating capacity of wind farms at large scales has been overestimated.

Even dying stars could host planets with life. And if such life exists, we might be able to detect it within the next decade.
