Forever chemicals may be affecting kids in ways that last a lifetime. A new study links early PFAS exposure to lower bone density during the teen years, especially in girls. Researchers also found that when exposure happ...

A new study reveals that farming in Argentinas Uspallata Valley was adopted by local hunter-gatherers rather than introduced by outside populations. Centuries later, a stressed group of maize-heavy farmers migrated into ...

A new study reveals that neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a superior biomarker for predicting cognitive function after cardiac arrest. Learn how this 48-hour blood test outperforms current methods in identifying long-t...

A new study identifies a leaky blood-brain barrier as the "missing link" between repetitive head impacts and dementia in retired athletes. Researchers found that this persistent leakage triggers a toxic buildup o...

Antibiotics are accumulating in a major Brazilian river, especially during the dry season when pollution becomes more concentrated. Scientists even detected a banned drug inside fish sold for food, raising concerns about...

Why does AI fail in the workplace? New research highlights "hybrid cognitive alignment" as the missing link in human-AI teamwork.

Researchers found that clonal raider ants can learn to tolerate genetically distinct outsiders through repeated exposure, effectively updating their brain's template for who belongs.

Using a new method, physicists found a way to 'catapult' electrons across solar materials in quadrillionths of a second.

Every week, we scour the web for important, insightful, and fascinating stories in science and technology. The post This Weeks Awesome Tech Stories From Around the Web (Through March 21) appeared first on SingularityHub....

Qilimanjaro is selling a relatively cheap kit with everything you need for a quantum computer - you just need to be able to put it together

Researchers have proposed that a newly identified class of magnetic materials could extend the zero-resistance currents of superconductors to electron spins. Publishing their calculations in Physical Review X, Kyle Monkm...

March 21, 2026: Our weekly roundup of the latest science in the news, as well as a few fascinating articles to keep you entertained over the weekend.

Live Science spoke with Herman Pontzer, an evolutionary anthropologist and author of the book "Adaptable," about the science of human diversity.

A new pill, enlicitide, reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol by about 60% in a large clinical trial, matching the power of injectable therapies. Because its taken orally, it could overcome one of the biggest barriers keeping pa...

Researchers have discovered that cancer spread isnt random-it follows a kind of biological program. By studying colon tumor cells, they identified gene patterns that signal whether a cancer is likely to metastasize. Thei...

Scientists at Harvard have built a miniature device that can twist and tune light in real time. By rotating two stacked photonic crystals and adjusting their spacing with a tiny mechanical system, they can control how li...

A routine quantum optics technique just revealed an extraordinary secret: entangled light can carry incredibly complex topological structures. Researchers found these hidden patterns reach up to 48 dimensions, offering a...

Physicists have directly visualized the fundamental electronic building blocks of flat-band quantum materials, a class of systems in which electron motion is effectively quenched and strong interactions give rise to emer...

On Tuesday, CERN will transport antiprotons on a truck for the first time, testing the plan to deliver antimatter by road to research labs across Europe

A newly discovered Triassic reptile from the UK looked more like a racing greyhound than a crocodile, built for speed on land. With long legs and a lightweight body, it hunted small animals in a dry, upland environment m...

Scientists have uncovered the oldest direct evidence yet that Earths tectonic plates were on the move 3.5 billion years ago. By analyzing magnetic fingerprints in ancient rocks, they reconstructed how parts of the planet...

In an incredibly lucky cosmic accident, NASAs Hubble Space Telescope captured a comet breaking apart in real time-something astronomers have long tried and failed to observe. The comet, C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), wasnt even the ...
