Researchers uncovered how lung cells decide whether to rebuild tissue or fight infection. This built-in switch may be the key to restoring the lungs natural repair ability. The discovery could lead to regenerative treatm...

Two ESA spacecraft, Hera and Europa Clipper, are poised to fly through the long tail of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, a new paper finds.

A new study reveals that the brain uses two distinct neural pathways to regulate sugar and fat intake. In mice, glucoprivation-a drop in blood sugar levels-activates separate circuits in the hypothalamus: AMPK-regulated ...

Alzheimers disease not only damages memory but also distorts the brains internal clock, disrupting the daily rhythms of hundreds of genes tied to brain health. Researchers found that in mice with amyloid buildup, normal ...

New research reveals that replacing even 30 minutes of sitting with light physical activity-like walking or doing household chores-can boost mood and energy the following day. The study tracked over 350 young adults usin...

New brain imaging research has uncovered how the brains energy and activity reorganize as it transitions from wakefulness to deep NREM sleep. Using an advanced tri-modal EEG-PET-MRI approach, scientists found that while ...

Researchers have identified molecular mechanisms behind age-related memory decline - and shown they can be reversed. Two studies revealed that correcting specific molecular processes in the hippocampus and amygdala, and ...

With today's technology, we cannot bring back Neanderthals. But even if future advances allow it, should we?

Researchers from Google Quantum AI report that their quantum processor, Willow, ran an algorithm for a quantum computer that solved a complex physics problem thousands of times faster than the world's most powerful c...

Tropical Storm Melissa is moving at a snail's pace but will intensify rapidly over the weekend as it feeds off near-record-warm water temperatures in the Caribbean Sea, forecasters say.

As AI shopping goes mainstream, will people keep any real control over what they buy and why? The post OpenAI Slipped Shopping Into 800 Million ChatGPT Users Chats-Heres Why That Matters appeared first on SingularityHub....

According to a recent study published in APL Photonics, a research team led by Prof. Liang Xu from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an ultra-compact excimer laser ...

ASU scientists found that people whose gut microbes make more methane extract more calories from fiber-rich foods. Methanogens help the microbiome turn fiber into energy by consuming hydrogen and producing methane. Using...

Eternal Flame Falls sits on a bed of shale rocks rich in organic matter. As this matter breaks down, it produces highly flammable natural gas that escapes through cracks in the ground.

An international team led by researchers at MPI-CPfS used irradiation with extremely high-energy electrons to controllably introduce atomic defects in superconducting nickelate thin films. Their systematic investigation ...

A collaborative team of physicists and microbiologists from UNIST and Stanford University has, for the first time, uncovered the fundamental laws governing the distribution of self-propelled particles, such as bacteria.

A massive genetic study found that naturally lower cholesterol is linked to a dramatically reduced risk of dementia. The research simulated the effects of cholesterol-lowering drugs and showed up to an 80% lower risk for...

Researchers have finally seen and measured the tiny alpha-synuclein oligomers that may ignite Parkinsons disease. With the ultra-sensitive ASA-PD imaging method, they captured these clusters in brain tissue, finding larg...

How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, three scientists formulate a new model: according to this, inflation, the first, very rapid exp...

Quantum key distribution (QKD) harnesses the power of quantum mechanics to securely transmit confidential information. When an outside source eavesdrops on a QKD transmission, the quantum states are affected. This depend...

Scientists have unveiled Khankhuuluu, a new Mongolian dinosaur species that predates and closely resembles early Tyrannosaurs. With its long snout, small horns, and lean build, it represents a transitional form between s...

A four-fingered robotic hand built from Lego Mindstorms pieces can push, pull and grip with almost as much force as a leading 3D-printed hand
