Virginia Tech researchers are investigating how overloaded mitochondria in the brains memory circuits may spark early Alzheimers damage. Their work focuses on calcium signaling and how it might trigger breakdowns in the ...

Astronomers using ALMA have discovered that planet-forming discs are not flat and serene but subtly warped, reshaping our understanding of how planets form. These slight tilts, similar to those seen among planets in our ...

"Marsquake" data collected by NASA's InSight lander have revealed dozens of mysterious blobs within the Red Planet's mantle. The structures may have been left by powerful impacts up to 4.5 billion years a...

A team of researchers has developed a simple three-minute brainwave test called Fastball EEG that can detect early signs of memory impairment linked to Alzheimers disease. Unlike traditional memory tests, it is passive a...

A new study shows that chronic stress causes immune cells called neutrophils to leave bone marrow in the skull and collect in the brains protective membranes, where they contribute to depressive symptoms. In mice, blocki...

Researchers analyzed 139 neuroimaging studies spanning ages 5 to 85 to map the brains activity in cognitive control. They found an inverted U-shaped lifespan trajectory, with brain activity rising through adolescence, pe...

A new fossil find in the Republic of Georgia is expanding our understanding of the earliest humans to leave Africa.

Scientists have identified a new way to stop glioblastoma - the deadliest form of brain cancer - from spreading by altering its environment rather than targeting the tumor directly. The team showed that cancer cells depe...

A new large-scale study shows that Alzheimers disease is marked by the erosion of epigenomic control, where brain cells lose the ability to maintain stable gene expression. Using a multi-region atlas of 3.5 million cells...

Researchers have found that OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude can give direct responses to 'high-risk' questions about suicide. In Live Science's testing, ChatGPT and Gemini...

Surprising discoveries about the species responsible for 90 per cent of mushroom-related deaths is revealing the fungi kingdom to be even stranger than we had thought

Such sensors could one day carry out MRI at the scale of individual cells or aid researchers in drug development. The post Scientists Just Made Biological Qubits That Act as Quantum Sensors Inside Cells appeared first on...

Japanese government officials have released an AI video to show just how devastating an eruption at Mount Fuji could be. But don't worry, the dormant volcano is currently not at risk of blowing.

Asteroid 2025 QV5, which was first spotted in late August, will make a close approach to Earth on Wednesday (Sept. 3). It will not get this near to us again until Sept. 4, 2125.

From trenfluencers to complex drug regimens, influencers are reshaping how millions approach steroid use. Now, researchers are trying to catch up with what this means for our health

Researchers from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have been able to see the magnetic nucleus of an atom switch back and forth in real time. They read out the nuclear "spin" via the electrons in t...

Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even as they are excited to higher energy levels...

Everybody makes mistakes. Biology is no different. However, living organisms have certain error-correction mechanisms that enable their biomolecules to assemble and function despite the defective slough that is a natural...

Despite the modern world relying heavily on digital optical communication, there has not been a significant improvement in the minimum attenuation-a measure of the loss of optical power per kilometer traveled-of optical ...

An experiment carried out at CERN's ISOLDE facility has determined the western shore of a small island of atomic nuclei, where conventional nuclear rules break down.

A new model called StarryStarryProcess lets scientists map star spots with precision, improving how exoplanets are studied. By factoring in both transits and stellar rotation, it provides richer details about stars and t...

NASAs SPHEREx joined Webb and Hubble in studying interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, gathering data on its size, chemistry, and physical traits. While harmless to Earth, the comet provides scientists a rare opportunity to learn...
