Archaeologists uncover unique ensemble from antiquity during excavations on Sicily Archaeologists have made two extraordinary discoveries in the Italian town of Agrigento on Sicily's southwest coast.

While some progress has been made towards gender equality in Australian elections, women remain underrepresented among candidates in the 2025 federal election, a new report from The Australian National University (ANU) shows.

A new tool which can rapidly prototype augmented reality experiences has given researchers new insights which could allow cyclists to safely share the roads with self-driving cars.

Fewer people have been to the deepest parts of the ocean than have walked on the surface of the moon.

Quantum computers promise to outperform today's traditional computers in many areas of science, including chemistry, physics, and cryptography, but proving they will be superior has been challenging. The most well-known problem in which quantum computers are expected to have the edge, a trait physicists call "quantum advantage," involves factoring large numbers, a hard math problem that lies at the root of securing digital information.

Prof. Andrew Thompson, a leading expert in global and imperial history in the Faculty of History at Oxford University, has presented a new Framework of Analysis for Modern Slavery & Human Traf

The warm season coincides with the period of activity of the insect vector of this disease that can have serious consequences for farm animals.

Researchers to assess new model of care offered at clinic in the Faculty of Kinesiology's Sport Medicine Centre Alex McEwen will never forget the unnerving snap he heard mid-bench press as the major tendon connecting his pectoralis muscle to his right shoulder tore away from the bone completely.

To contain the spread of the invasive quagga mussel in Swiss lakes, researchers recommend swift action based on comprehensive prevention, early detection and containment.

Researchers demonstrate the UK's first long-distance ultra-secure communication over a quantum network Researchers have successfully demonstrated the UK's first long-distance ultra-secure transfer of

As many as one in 3,000 people could be carrying a faulty gene that significantly increases their risk of a punctured lung, according to new estimates from Cambridge researchers.

Writing in The Conversation, Professor Seirian Sumner (UCL Biosciences) argues that having the language to name and describe nature is a gateway to curiosity-driven innovation, creativity and discovery.

Long-term exposure to high levels of air pollution may harm the brain health of older adults in England, finds a new study led by UCL researchers. The research, published in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A , found that exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is linked to lower scores in key cognitive abilities, particularly language skills.

An international team, including researchers from UNIGE, has revealed that the Arabian Peninsula's desert was once home to a vast lake and rivers that shaped its landscape. The Empty Quarter (Rub' al-Khali), the vast desert of the Arabian Peninsula, was not always an arid landscape.

Three researchers reflect on the significance of TU/e's quantum computers, how they work, and what's coming next in quantum computing.

Small language models are more reliable and secure than their large counterparts, primarily because they draw information from a circumscribed dataset.

What happens when captured CO2 is pumped into the ground? Highly sophisticated computer simulations now make it possible to predict its long-term behaviour.

Two projects investigating how AI is used in healthcare and other sectors have received a grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO).

A new study on how computers can be accurately controlled using only facial expressions could help make augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies more accessible to people living with disabilities. Researchers from the University of Glasgow and the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland discovered that seven simple facial movements could be reliably recognised by Meta's Quest Pro headset, enabling users to control a VR game and navigate web pages in an AR environment.

Researchers from Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) have received funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) for ten proposals covering a diverse range of topics.

DECOTA transforms open-ended survey responses into clear themes - helping policymakers make better use of underutilised public feedback AI tool DECOTA analyses free-text data rapidly, affordably, and

New research from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has identified porcupine inhibition - a strategy that blocks a key bone-related signalling pathway (Wnt) - as a promising pharmacological treatment for severe sclerosteosis.

New research from The University of Manchester may reshape our understanding of what happens to the immune system when we fast. Funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the study on mice shows that the brain's hypothalamus controls how the immune system adapts during fasting, through a handful of highly specialized neurons responsible for making animals hungry.
