Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research. By transforming a chemically inert p...

A new wearable system uses stretchable electronics and artificial intelligence to interpret human gestures with high accuracy even in chaotic, high-motion environments. Unlike traditional gesture-based wearables that fai...

Chronic pain might quietly push people toward developing high blood pressure-and the more widespread the pain, the greater the danger. A massive analysis of over 200,000 adults uncovered strong links between long-lasting...

A sweeping analysis of 235 studies shows that holding onto impossible goals harms mental and physical wellbeing, increasing stress and lowering life satisfaction. In contrast, releasing unachievable goals - and crucially...

NASA will finally share long-awaited images of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS taken during the comet's close flyby of Mars. A live stream has been set for Wednesday (Nov. 19).

Scientists built a tiny clock from single-electron jumps to probe the true energy cost of quantum timekeeping. They discovered that reading the clocks output requires vastly more energy than the clock uses to function. T...

A rare intracranial brain-recording study revealed that tirzepatide, a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, temporarily silences craving-related neural activity in a key reward circuit of the brain. Using implanted electrodes...

Scientists at Northwestern Medicine have developed a new genetic risk score that predicts who is most likely to experience irregular or dangerous heart rhythms. The test merges several types of genetic analysis into one ...

A tiny figurine depicting a goose mounting a woman reveals early evidence of animistic belief in southwest Asia.

Neanderthals were thought to have structures inside their noses that helped them deal with the cold, but analysis of an exceptionally preserved specimen contradicts that

New research shows that the brain separates what an odor is from how it feels, with each processed at distinct times. Shortly after an odor is presented, the brain activates a fast, objective signal that tracks molecular...

A broad association of researchers from across Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California, Berkeley have collaborated to perform an unprecedented simulation of a quantum microch...

A new study identifies the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) as a crucial brain region for inference-making, allowing animals to interpret hidden states in changing environments. Researchers trained rats to wait for water rewar...

A global team leveraged one of the worlds fastest supercomputers to create the most detailed digital simulation of a mouse cortex ever produced. The model recreates real neuronal structure and function, enabling virtual ...

Scientists from the European Space Agency have significantly narrowed down the trajectory of the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS thanks to data from the alien comet's recent flyby of Mars, allowing for more accurate fu...

A laboratory study reveals an interaction between dietary fiber and the gut microbiome that may be helpful for fighting cancer.

Some ants kill the queens of another species and take over their colonies, but we now know at least one species gets workers to do the dirty work for them through a kind of chemical subterfuge

The discovery that fat is a communicative organ with a role in everything from bone health to mood is forcing a rethink of how we view our bodies

A sneaky spray of chemicals makes ant workers turn on their own mother - the queen - so a parasitic invader can take over the colony herself.

The Arabian and African tectonic plates failed to pull apart 28 million years ago at the Gulf of Suez, but the area hasn't stopped rifting.
