Researchers have identified a new genetic cause of hereditary optic atrophy-a condition that leads to gradual vision loss-by discovering a previously unknown mutation in the PPIB gene. This gene helps proteins fold prope...

New research shows that neighborhood conditions - from pollution and housing to economic opportunity - may directly affect brain health and dementia risk. Analyzing brain scans and biomarkers from 679 adults, scientists ...

For the first time, scientists observed a black hole tearing apart a star far from its galaxys center, producing the fastest-changing radio signals ever recorded. The event, AT 2024tvd, revealed delayed bursts of energy ...

An international research team has mapped the millisecond-by-millisecond process by which nerve signals activate muscles, uncovering a previously unseen primed intermediate step. This breakthrough reveals that neuromuscu...

If users chose the most efficient model each time they performed a task with AI, researchers calculate it would slash energy consumption by more than a quarter

New research reveals that child maltreatment leaves measurable biological scars on DNA, altering brain structure and function. Using a genome-wide epigenetic analysis, scientists identified four key methylation sites-ATE...

Greenhouse gas concentrations increased by a record amount in 2024 as more carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide became locked in Earth's atmosphere, a World Meteorological Organization report finds.

A faint radio "whisper" from ancient hydrogen reveals the universe was heating up long before it filled with starlight.

A new study reveals that an overgrowth of Candida albicans, a common gut fungus, may alter the brains dopamine reward circuitry and influence alcohol consumption. Researchers found that as fungal populations increased, t...

The algorithm identified known regions as well as mysterious domains with yet unknown functions. The post ChatGPT-Like AI Unveils 1,300 Regions in the Mouse Brain-Some Uncharted appeared first on SingularityHub.

A new twist on a classic material could advance quantum computing and make modern data centers more energy efficient, according to a team led by researchers at Penn State.

A team from the Faculty of Physics and the Center for Quantum Optical Technologies at the University of Warsaw has developed a new type of all-optical radio receiver based on the fundamental properties of Rydberg atoms. ...

The rush to grow more biofuels continues, despite the fact they increase CO2 emissions rather than lower them, raise food prices and devastate nature. It has to stop, says Michael Le Page

Researchers have found a suspected clump of dark matter lurking within the luminous halo of a well-known "Einstein ring." The mysterious object, the smallest of its kind ever seen, could help shed light on the un...

For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy collisions in the LHC accelerator, it has been possible to observe their coherent production. This a...

Astronomers have discovered a surprisingly "pristine" red giant with the lowest concentration of heavy elements ever seen in a star. It is likely a direct descendant of one of the universe's first stars.

The evidence to support phone bans in schools has been inconclusive, and now it seems that the move could harm some students' mental health in a particular way

Comets don't visit often - here's how to capture comet Lemmon, comet 3I/ATLAS, on your camera as they dance across our skies.

With the rise of quantum computers, the security of our existing communication systems is at risk. Quantum computers will be able to break many of the encryption methods used in current communication systems. To counter ...

Archaeologists in China found a collection of human bones that showed signs of being "worked" like any other natural material.

Mathematicians thought that they understood how rotation works, but now a new proof has revealed a surprising twist that makes it possible to reset even a complex sequence of motion
