Neuroscientists have created the largest and most detailed map of a mammal's brain in a landmark achievement

A map of part of a mouse brain, which is expected to be generalisable to people, could help scientists understand behaviours, consciousness and even what it means to be human

The device was only half-finished at the time. Imagine its full potential.

A "ghost particle" discovered by a detector in the Mediterranean carried 30 times more energy than any neutrino observed to date

A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that long-term exposure to air pollution contributes to millions of deaths in India. The research, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, emphasises the need for stricter air quality regulations in the country.

Air pollution has been linked to eczema before, and now a study of more than 280,000 people has strengthened the association

How do we move in space? It might seem like an astronaut could do a couple of back strokes in space, but according to conservation of momentum, it's just not possible.

Engadget investigated the Dyson Zone, an air-purifying wearable, to understand how the device works to remove pollutants from the air.

I don't know anyone who is afraid to walk underneath a cumulus cloud because they are afraid it might fall on them. We don't think of clouds even having weight because they are floating. But, clouds are made up of a physical substance, water, and water is quite heavy, so clouds must have weight. We will explain this "paradox" to you if you read on.

The EPA wants to cut emissions from leaks and equipment malfunctions at steel mills. Advocates say the proposal, while welcome, is far from enough.

Conflict between Japan and China is not new. As the release of contaminated water from Fukushima into the Pacific Ocean has now been approved by the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency, China has issued warnings that this approval is insufficient. ACSH covered the underlying science last year; here is a reprise.

With safety limits in relation to climate breached, what can this mean in the long term?

Drones have become an essential tool to map, measure and observe the extremely dangerous environments surrounding volcanic eruptions.

The need for a smaller, more transportable version of ANSTO's 1,500-liter atmospheric radon-222 monitor, and with a calibration traceable to the International System of Units, prompted the team to develop a 200-liter radon monitor that would meet those needs.
