Researchers have visualized atoms in motion just before a radiation-driven decay process occurs, revealing a surprisingly dynamic scene. Instead of remaining fixed, the atoms roam and rearrange, directly influencing how ...

Honey bees dont just perform their famous waggle dance to share directions, they actually adjust how well they dance depending on whos watching. Researchers found that when fewer bees pay attention, the dancer becomes le...

Scientists have found that your brain separates memories into what and where/when using two different groups of neurons. One set responds to specific objects or people, while another tracks the context or situation. When...

A warming world may see more antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to new research that shows a link between aridity and antibiotic resistance today.

Two lavish Iron Age hoards unearthed in England may have been burned in honor of a queen's royal ancestor, a new study finds

In a step toward biological computing, brain organoids rewired their networks as they learned to balance a digital pole on a cart. The post These Mini Brains Just Learned to Solve a Classic Engineering Problem appeared f...

What is the IVNS1ABP mutation? Scientists identify a new disease that causes both progeria-like aging and brain deficits.

Does infection cause dementia? New research shows severe bacterial infections and UTIs are linked to increased dementia risk, independent of other health factors. Learn how infections might accelerate brain aging.

A new study finds that AI-generated "deepfake" X-rays are realistic enough to deceive both radiologists and top-tier AI models. Researchers warn that these synthetic images pose a major risk for medical fraud and...

Our solar systems rocky planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars - may have formed from two rings around the young sun, rather than a single disc

Infections are increasingly being linked to a higher risk of dementia. In the latest research, scientists have found that being treated in hospital for a severe infection seems to raise the risk of developing the conditi...

A new study suggests that human infant helplessness is a unique evolutionary trait that drives social collaboration. By being sensory-rich but motor-poor, human babies are "designed" to trigger the deep social bo...

A new study identified five key risk factors for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), including depression 10 years pre-diagnosis. The findings suggest the disease develops silently for a decade before motor symptoms ap...

A suspected space rock, around the size of a cantaloupe, was found in the bedroom of a Houston home after crashing through the building's roof. It is likely a fragment of one of several "fireball" meteors tha...

A new study identifies DOPA decarboxylase in spinal fluid as a precise biomarker for Parkinsons and Lewy body dementia. This discovery offers a reliable way to distinguish these diseases from Alzheimer's, reducing th...

In a new analysis, researchers estimated direct, indirect and future greenhouse gas emissions that were created in the first two weeks of the Iran war, between Feb. 28 and March 14.

New research shows that while AI can produce "creative" answers, its outputs are far more repetitive and predictable than human thought. Relying on LLMs for brainstorming may unintentionally limit the diversity o...

We've always thought that Tyrannosaurus rex was an unchallenged apex predator during the dying days of the dinosaurs. But a fresh look at controversial fossils has prompted palaeontologys biggest-ever U-turn

Data from NASA's InSight mission suggests the Red Planet's Tharsis region is more active than previously thought and may be why Mars is spinning more quickly over time.

Modular robots are easily expandable, know when they're upside down or stuck, and can march forward across all kinds of terrain.

Two researchers explore how water rights for the Colorado river get negotiated and why these negotiations have stalled.
