A stretch of water in the west of the continent is now called the Amos Channel after the ex-BBC journalist.

Applying mild electrical stimulation to the brain temporarily removed a perceptual bias linked to the sexual objectification of women, in the first study of its kind. The study is published in the journal Social Neuroscience.

Information on what a cell did a few hours or days ago is generally unavailable to researchers, who can only measure the cell's current status. This is a problem if the aim is to understand how immune responses arise or why individual cancer cells survive treatment.

For the first time, researchers in Japan have directly mapped several components of the stress field surrounding an atomic-scale flaw in the crystal structure of diamond. Led by Tokuyuki Teraji at Japan's National Institute for Materials Science, the team achieved its result using nitrogen-vacancy…

A team of Yale researchers has figured out what gives a magnetic material its mysterious properties, a discovery that could help boost computing memory and the field of "spintronics." Their work is published in Physical Review Letters.

High temperatures can significantly impair the growth and yield of crops, including tomatoes. A new study by an international research team led by Dr. Justyna Olas, of the Leibniz Institute for Horticultural Sciences (IGZ), has shown that tomatoes can respond better to subsequent heat stress…

To produce hydrogen using sunlight, the energy obtained from light must be retained until it can be used in a chemical reaction. However, if an electron that has gained energy from light quickly returns to its original position, it becomes difficult to make use of that energy.

Barley seed could be carrying more than the potential for a new crop, with emerging research from the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) finding that fungicide-resistant net blotch can be carried on seed and transferred to seedlings.

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to identify promising catalysts using only the scientific knowledge that was available years before their actual discovery. Their findings could accelerate the search for more efficient hydrogen production and other valuable chemical processes.

How immune are people to bird flu viruses? To find out, Canadian virologists analyzed blood samples that 24 health care workers at Université de Montréal's teaching hospital, the CHUM, gave before and after getting their annual flu shot.

Around 90,000 properties are without power after Scotland and north England is battered by strong winds.

October's full Moon, nicknamed the Hunter's Moon, lit up the night sky this weekend.

Another area of low pressure will pass close to the north-west UK with a Met Office yellow wind warning issued for Tuesday.

The spill of 18 tonnes of plastic pellets happened in July but there is still a lot we do not know.

Fairstead Recreation Ground is being planted with wildflowers to benefit insects and pollinators.

An amber wind warning has now expired after severe weather sweeps across the UK.

From remote monitoring of cattle to automation of processes that took up valuable time, farmers in NI are rapidly becoming skilled in technology.

Northern Ireland Electricity Networks (NIE) said around 12,500 properties were without power at one stage.
