Scientists studying Bennu samples have discovered that its chemistry is far from uniform. Organic compounds and minerals cluster into three distinct types of regions, each shaped differently by past water activity. This ...

Scientists have transformed a groundbreaking 2D nanomaterial called MXene into an even more powerful 1D form-tiny scroll-like tubes that are incredibly thin yet highly conductive. By rolling flat sheets into hollow nanos...

Researchers have developed a non-invasive MRI method to measure the brains self-cleansing process. The study reveals that during sleep, vascular pulsations take control of brain dynamics to accelerate waste removal.

Researchers discovered a brain pathway linking stress centers directly to habit regions. While stress normally promotes flexibility, alcohol disrupts this circuit, explaining why stress leads to compulsive drinking and r...

AI companies may be reluctant to risk lower engagement with models that push back. The post Chatbots Optimized to Please Make Us Less Likely to Admit When Were Wrong appeared first on SingularityHub.

NASA said an X-class solar flare is not currently expected to affect the Artemis II mission, while weather on Earth looks favorable for a smooth launch.

A new study reveals that genetics explain up to 98% of the correlation between IQ and socioeconomic status. Researchers found that while upbringing matters, innate intelligence-driven largely by heredity-is the primary p...

A new, miniature laser source developed by applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien) could soon pack the power of...

A new study suggests that human grammar evolved as a stage for "wit." Ancient verb-noun compounds like "pickpocket" trigger visceral brain responses, suggesting that being funny was a key evolutionary adv...

Two researchers snorkeling in a subterranean stream in Texas discovered fossils from the Late Pleistocene epoch, revealing new details about what lived in this ancient ecosystem.

China's cuts to aerosol emissions reduced sea ice loss, but it may have revealed a bigger story about climate change.

Researchers developed an AI model that detects five neurodegenerative diseases from one blood sample. The tool identifies protein patterns that predict cognitive decline more accurately than clinical exams.

The muon colliderwas once dismissed as impossible, but is nowgainingsteamas the successor to the Large Hadron Collider. Ifbuilt,it could offer anew windowtoreality

New research shows that while teenagers accurately perceive when others are being cooperative, they are less likely than adults to reciprocate. This "cooperation gap" suggests teens prioritize self-interest even ...

Researchers have found that imagination is not just a "copy" of sensation. Instead, mental imagery relies on high-level association networks that process meaning and holistically organize scenes and language.

In a mouse study, scientists found that a bacterial sugar can be exploited to disable dangerous antibiotic-resistant pathogens.

From all the way up here, we've spotted an amazing 79% off Paramount+ for two months.

Future quantum computers will need to be far less powerful than we thought to threaten the security of encrypted messages, banking information and other sensitive data.

Improved hardware can send ten times as much data through existing fibre optic cables, potentially providing a way to massively upgrade the internet's infrastructure without the cost and inconvenience of laying any n...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the universe. Understanding the structure of the atomic nucleus is crucial for research with implic...

NASA is gearing up to send astronauts back to the lunar environment for the first time in nearly 55 years. We've broken the 10-day mission into 12 key steps, from the historic liftoff to a record-breaking splashdown....

Monash University researchers have captured the exact atomic movements that write data to next-generation memory devices, which could pave the way for smaller, faster and more energy-efficient electronics. Published in N...
