Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the therapy restored heal...

Researchers report that vagus nerve stimulation helped many people with long-standing, treatment-resistant depression feel better-and stay better-for at least two years. Most participants had lived with depression for de...

People who combine different types of exercise - such as running, cycling and swimming - seem to live longer than those with less varied workouts

Scientists saw an inactive black hole 'reawaken' from a 100-million-year nap with fire and fury.

The company, Oklo, plans to use the fuel at a 1.2-gigawatt plant in Ohio that's due as early as 2030. The post Meta Will Buy Startups Nuclear Fuel in Unusual Deal to Power AI Data Centers appeared first on Singularit...

Combining small improvements to several areas of well-being could lead to bigger health gains than improving just one in isolation, a new study suggests.

Startling findings in 2024 suggested that metallic nodules on the sea floor produce oxygen and might support life. Now researchers are planning an expedition to learn more and refute criticism from mining companies

Countries have spent beyond their sustainable water budgets for so long that critical assets are depleted and the world faces huge economic, social and environmental costs

An extremely early Type II supernova explosion, named after the Titan goddess of dawn in Greek mythology, occurred just 1 billion years after the Big Bang.

Earth's magnetic field was struck by a "severe" solar storm yesterday (Jan. 19), triggering vibrant auroras in the U.S. and large parts of Europe. The storm broke a record that had stood for more than two dec...

People with color blindness may be less able to spot an early sign of bladder cancer, making them likelier to be diagnosed later, a study suggests.

An electrical outage at Chernobyl nuclear power plant risks dangerous fuel overheating, but experts say that the chances are extremely slim due to the age of the reactors, which were shut down over two decades ago

Two or more satellites could communicate and manoeuvre around one another using magnetic fields, although getting the technique to work at scale in space might be tricky

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a superposition of states-being in multiple places and configurations all at once, defined mathema...

It is impossible to get rid of anxiety because it exists to help us, says cognitive psychotherapist Owen O'Kane. Instead, he suggests three ways to reframe your relationship with anxiety in order to take back control...

Divers have unearthed the largest cog shipwreck ever discovered in a strait off Denmark, signalling a period of economic development in medieval Europe.

In 2023, a team of physicists from Sandia National Laboratories announced a major discovery: a way to steer LED light. If refined, it could mean someday replacing lasers with cheaper, smaller, more energy-efficient LEDs ...

Spacecraft orbiting the Red Planet have helped researchers map out an ancient coastline that surrounded a large ocean billions of years ago

A team from UNIGE shows that it is possible to determine the state of a quantum system from indirect measurements when it is coupled to its environment.

The Suunto Vertical 2 smartwatch proves to be a great alternative to the Garmin Fenix 8. Durable yet surprisingly stylish, it is very functional in the outdoors and more reasonably priced.

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single exotic particle behaves in a many-body system, namely as a mobile or static impurity among a la...

The ice in a domestic freezer is remarkably different from the single crystals that form in snow clouds, or even those formed on a frozen pond. As temperatures drop, ice crystals can grow in a variety of shapes: from sto...
