Decoding a lost English legend, solving a Chaucerian mystery, and revealing a medieval preacher’s meme A medieval literary puzzle which has stumped scholars including M.R. James for 130 years has finally been solved. […]
Months after withdrawal, brain activity during decision-making remained impaired in rats For the first time, researchers demonstrated in an animal how heavy alcohol use leads to long-term behavioral issues by damaging brain […]
The University of Oxford’s Department of Materials celebrated a new chapter in its microscopy facilities with the arrival of a bespoke £3 million Transmission Electron Microscope. The JEOL GrandARM300F instrument will support […]
The Future Leadership Institute celebrates the birthday of evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin: 12 February 1809 – 12 February 2025 Venue: BELGIUM – ANTWERP Introduction: Our daily stress and struggle tend to focus […]
Oxford University has been world number one in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings since 2017 – the longest time any university has held the position in the 21 annual editions of the […]
Researchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating from the dawn of the universe, and found that it is ‘eating’ its host galaxy to death. The international team, led by […]
The advance makes it easier to detect circulating tumor DNA in blood samples, which could enable earlier cancer diagnosis and help guide treatment. Tumors constantly shed DNA from dying cells, which briefly […]
New insights into how proton-coupled electron transfers occur at an electrode could help researchers design more efficient fuel cells and electrolyzers. A key chemical reaction — in which the movement of protons […]
Harvard study is first to estimate annual ad revenue attributable to young users of these platforms Social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube collectively derived nearly $11 […]
The researchers have identified genes involved in hybrid incompatibility, a phenomenon that raises reproductive barriers between species and evolutionarily splits them apart. Stanford researchers have gained new insights into how the rise […]
A new analysis of the bones and muscles in ancient fish gives new clues about how the shoulder evolved in animals – including us. The shoulder girdle – the configuration of bones […]
In many parts of Africa, humans cooperate with a species of wax-eating bird called the greater honeyguide, Indicator indicator, which leads them to wild bees’ nests with a chattering call. By using specialised sounds […]
Researchers from the MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit and Oxford University’s Department of Computer Science have set out a new principle to explain how the brain adjusts connections between neurons during learning. This new insight may […]
