A researcher explores why men lose their Y chromosomes in cells as they age and the health implications associated with this loss.

Intermittent fasting appears to be no better than doing nothing when it comes to helping people who are overweight or have obesity lose weight

Researchers find that combining music and empathetic speech makes social robots significantly more effective at bonding with humans and reducing loneliness.

Memory or Mood? Your choice of probiotic might depend on the packaging. New research reveals that how probiotics are prepared dictates whether they help your focus or your feelings.

Scientists find coordination between key brain waves breaks down in people under anesthesia. The post This Brain Pattern Could Signal the Moment Consciousness Slips Away appeared first on SingularityHub.

Your brains "mental workspace" might be taking a hit. The largest cannabis brain-imaging study ever conducted shows a significant decline in working memory for heavy users.

As cash transfer programs expand across the United States, critics often warn that giving people money could spark reckless behavior, leading to injuries or even deaths. But a sweeping 11-year analysis of Alaskas long-ru...

A new light-based sensor can spot incredibly tiny amounts of cancer biomarkers in blood, raising the possibility of earlier and simpler cancer detection. The technology merges DNA nanotechnology, CRISPR, and quantum dots...

Think you can spot a deepfake? It might have nothing to do with your computer skills. A new study shows that your natural ability to recognize objects is the secret to seeing through AI.

We know sugar is bad for the body, but what about the mind? A new study finds a troubling link between sugary drinks and the rising tide of anxiety in young people.

Scientists have discovered the biological "bridge" that explains why hearing loss leads to cognitive decline-and how it changes the very structure of our brains.

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades

New research reveals that for an AI-powered robotic arm to feel like part of your own body, it has to move at a very specific, human-like speed.

The psychedelic DMT has been linked to improved mental health outcomes before, but now, scientists have shown it reduces depression symptoms more than a placebo when given alongside therapeutic support

The big bang wasnt the start of everything, but it has been impossible to see what came before. Now a new kind of cosmology is lifting the veil on the beginning of time

Quantum computers are alternative computing devices that process information, leveraging quantum mechanical effects, such as entanglement between different particles. Entanglement establishes a link between particles tha...

Biologists have debated the reason why Homo sapiens evolved a prominent lower jaw, but this unique feature may actually be a by-product of other traits shaped by natural selection

The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterization of quantum systems timeconsuming. Furthermore, when a quantum system is measured, it is destroyed in the process. A breakthrough by researcher...

Tumaco-Tolita artists were known for their intense realism in sculpting clay representations of humans.

We are used to heat flowing from hot objects to cool ones, and never the other way round, but now researchers have found it is possible to pull off this trick in the strange realm of quantum mechanics

Scientists have developed a new way to read the hidden states of Majorana qubits, which store information in paired quantum modes that resist noise. The results confirm their protected nature and show millisecond scale c...

A parasite that may already be hiding in your brain has a shocking survival trick: it can infect the very immune cells sent to destroy it. Yet most people never get sick, and new research from UVA Health reveals why. Sci...
