Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming synaptic signals between neurons-signals that, until now, have been nearly impossible to record in liv...

New research reveals that numbers in our visual field can subtly distort how we judge spatial positions, showing that perception is shaped by both numerical magnitude and object-based processing. In traditional line-bise...

A new study challenges the long-held belief that Alzheimers disease cannot be reversed. Researchers showed that a severe drop in NAD+-a core energy molecule-drives Alzheimers pathology in both human brains and mouse mode...

Even the most skilled face recognizers are duped by AI-generated faces, a new study finds. But they can improve with training.

Scholars know of some important ancient cities from texts, but they haven't been able to find them.

Gene-editing breakthroughs, lightning fast AI chips, real-time translation-and a robot you ride like a horse. The post These Were SingularityHubs Top 10 Stories in 2025 appeared first on SingularityHub.

Scientists have built the most detailed 3D models yet of temperatures deep beneath Greenland. The results reveal uneven heat hidden below the ice, shaped by Greenlands ancient path over a volcanic hotspot. This undergrou...

Here are a dozen strange and interesting tales from the medical literature.

In collisions at CERNs Large Hadron Collider, hotter than the Suns core by a staggering margin, scientists have finally solved a long-standing mystery: how delicate particles like deuterons and their antimatter twins can...

UBC Okanagan researchers have uncovered how plants create mitraphylline, a rare natural compound linked to anti-cancer effects. By identifying two key enzymes that shape and twist molecules into their final form, the tea...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not settle into an ordered pattern and continue to fluctuate, even at extremely low temperatures. Thi...

Our sun is huge, at least compared to Earth and the other planets. So is it really a dwarf?

Neutrinos may be nearly invisible, but they play a starring role in the Universe. Long-standing anomalies had hinted at a mysterious fourth sterile neutrino, potentially rewriting the laws of physics. Using exquisitely p...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone emergency fix that he...

A newly identified region on Mars may hold the key to future human landings. Researchers found evidence of water ice less than a meter beneath the surface, close enough to be harvested for water, oxygen, and fuel. The lo...

New observations reveal that the relationship between ultraviolet and X-ray light in quasars has changed over billions of years. This unexpected shift suggests the structure around supermassive black holes may evolve wit...
