Researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze more than 3,000 recordings of African lions and found that the animals have an "intermediate" roar as well as a "full-throated" roar.

Researchers uncovered how estrogen subtly reshapes learning by strengthening dopamine reward signals in the brain. Rats learned faster when estrogen levels were high and struggled when the hormones activity was blocked. ...

A massive real-world study comparing tirzepatide and semaglutide reveals both drugs deliver strong, early cardiovascular protection-reducing heart attack, stroke, and death in adults with type 2 diabetes. While companies...

A new study has identified a specific brain circuit that can push behavior into a compulsive repeat mode, forcing mice to continue digging and sniffing even when rewards are available. The circuit links the nucleus accum...

New research shows that dementia risk is best predicted by combining genetic vulnerability with cardiovascular disease markers, revealing a more precise and actionable way to identify who is most likely to develop the co...

A new study shows that oral arginine, a naturally occurring amino acid, can significantly suppress amyloid- aggregation in Alzheimers disease models. Researchers found that arginine not only prevented A42 from clumping b...

Researchers have identified ginkgo-toothed beaked whales alive at sea for the first time after years of searching, and in doing so solved the mystery of an odd echolocation pulse in the North Pacific.

A large-scale analysis of nearly 1,900 children found that those with a family history of substance use disorder show early differences in how their brains transition between activity states, long before any drug exposur...

If dazzling potential doesnt translate quickly into steady, profitable demand, the excitement can slip away surprisingly fast. The post Is the AI Bubble About to Burst? What to Watch for as the Markets Wobble appeared fi...

The distant universe might be littered with supermassive stars between 1000 and 10,000 times the mass of the sun, which could solve a cosmic mystery about the origins of extremely large black holes

Spinning vortices of water trapped under the Thwaites glacier ice shelf account for 20 per cent of the ice melt. Theyre expected to get worse as the world warms

Insect populations are in steep decline, which could endanger the food supply. But there are things we can do to reverse the trend.

Around 1000 markings on a slab of rock that was once a seafloor during the Cretaceous period may have been made by sea turtle flippers and swiftly buried by an earthquake

At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum tunneling, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher potential energy than the energy of ...

Leading AI models from OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic and Google described subjective, self-aware experiences when settings tied to deception and roleplay were turned down.

Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have achieved a breakthrough in quantum noise characterization in quantum systems-a key s...

Conventional computing devices will play a crucial role in turning quantum computers into tools with real-world application

We liked having the Coros Pace Pro as our hiking companion, but we do not think this sports watch will be our go-to option for extreme outdoor explorations.

Researchers discovered that the common amino acid arginine can block harmful A aggregation and reduce its toxic effects in Alzheimers disease models. In flies and mice, oral arginine lowered plaque levels, reduced inflam...

A German-French team of physicists from TU Dortmund University, University of Würzburg, and Le Mans Université has succeeded in launching shear hypersound pulses with exceptionally large amplitudes in metal halide pero...

Researchers discovered that chemotherapy can accidentally trigger a stress alarm in immune cells, causing inflammation that damages nerves. Blocking this alarm protected mice from nerve pain and kept their nerves healthi...

Researchers are puzzled as to how the dwarf galaxy NGC 6789 continues to make new stars, despite being stuck in the gas-famished Local Void.
