The American Cancer Society estimates that over 55,000 people will die from colorectal cancer in the U.S. this year. Of those, 7% will be under 50.

MIT physicists have built a powerful new microscope that uses terahertz light to uncover hidden quantum motions inside superconductors. By compressing this normally unwieldy light into a tiny region, they were able to ob...

Researchers have pushed quantum chip design into a new era by simulating every physical detail before fabrication. Using a supercomputer with nearly 7,000 GPUs, they modeled how signals travel and interact inside an ultr...

Early life stress may set the stage for long-term digestive problems by disrupting the gut-brain connection. Studies in both mice and thousands of children found links to symptoms like pain, constipation, and IBS. Scient...

As they imagine typing, implants translate brain signals into keystrokes on a standard digital keyboard. The post Brain Implants Let Paralyzed People Type Nearly as Fast as Smartphone Users appeared first on SingularityH...

Bull sharks may have a reputation as lone hunters, but new research reveals they actually form social bonds and even have preferred friends. After six years of observing 184 sharks in Fiji, scientists discovered these an...

Astronomers have identified a strange new kind of exoplanet that challenges how scientists classify worlds beyond our Solar System. The planet, L 98-59 d, appears to contain a vast ocean of molten rock beneath its surfac...

Australian scientists have made a significant leap forward in energy storage technology with the world's first proof-of-concept quantum battery. Similar to conventional batteries, this quantum version charges, stores...

New research identifies Munc13-1 as the key protein that allows synapses to "bulk up" during activity, a process essential for holding onto daily information.

A new laser range-finding technique, inspired by quantum physics, that can measure distances under strong solar background has been demonstrated by researchers at the University of Bristol. The team has proved their hypo...

Two lawsuits are being brought against giant tech firms for the dangers their apps pose to young people. Columnist Annalee Newitz says the outcome of those cases could dramatically change social media for the better

You can now buy a humanoid robot housekeeper for less than the price of a second-hand car. But before splashing out, theres something you need to know

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by allowing electrons to collide with an extremely intense and powerful laser beam. The research find...

New research identifies the specific "genetic software" that drives real-time neurotransmission in living humans, offering a new frontier for psychiatric treatment.

Quantum catalysts are specialized resources that enable quantum state transformations previously thought impossible, holding promise for advancements in quantum computing and thermodynamics. A recent international study ...

New research reveals that an impaired brain-drainage system in childhood may be the hidden trigger for the onset of schizophrenia in early adulthood.

Scientists from the University of Manchester have played a leading role in the discovery of a new subatomic particle at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle, known as the cc (Xiccplus), is a new type of h...

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that the properties of the perovskite family of materials can be used to create so-called quantum bits. The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, pave...
