If I had one wish for college students, it would be that places of higher learning would allow them to keep an Instant Pot in their dorm rooms. But apparently young adults cannot be trusted with heat generating appliances, and dorm dwellers are often stuck sharing refrigerators and doing most of their cooking in a…

Suzana Herculano-Houzel spent most of 2003 perfecting a macabre recipe—a formula for brain soup. Sometimes she froze the jiggly tissue in liquid nitrogen, and then she liquefied it in a blender. Other times she soaked it in formaldehyde and then mashed it in detergent, yielding a smooth, pink slurry. Herculano-Houzel had completed her Ph.D. in neuroscience several years earlier, and in 2002, she had begun working as an assistant professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Bra

The rugged North Sea, between Norway and the United Kingdom, once held some of the world’s most productive offshore petroleum fields. And across the region, oil rigs still tower above the ocean floor — their beams crisscrossing up from the watery depths like mechanical mountains. But with productivity and oil prices in decline over recent years, hundreds of these structures are now set for removal. It’s a day that environmental groups have waited decades to see. Yet some scientists are co

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope doesn’t need a time machine to peer into the distant past. Thanks to its ability to detect ultraviolet (UV) light, Hubble was able to assemble this panoramic image of our ancient, star-bursting universe. Spanning vast periods of time and space, the composite photo features about 15,000 galaxies, 12,000 of which are actively birthing hot, young stars. The UV light reveals stars that were forming in the energetic years following the Big Bang, allowing astronome

Thanks to new genomic insights, researchers believe they've uncovered a key chunk of the disease's evolutionary back story — and a potential new path to fight it. There are more than 100 species in the rogues' gallery that is Plasmodium, but only four typically lead to malaria in humans: P. falciparum, found mostly in Africa and causing a particularly severe and dead

Day turning to dusk in the span of minutes, sunsets all around, a jewel-bright ring in the sky where the sun once stood — an eclipse is an otherworldly experience. But, if there's one thing we like to do with amazing experiences, it's try to make them better. Though you may have already guessed, a new study provides the confirmation: Lots of people got high for the 2017 solar eclipse. The new data comes courtesy of a study from a group of researchers from Murray State University in Kentuc

When I was in school, I didn’t think of restaurant food in terms of single meals. I always tried to order dishes I could stretch into future meals because, like most college students, I was a little poor. The ability of any given dish to be a future meal has a lot of factors.
