Neuroscientists have used personalized magnetic stimulation to successfully modulate the deep-seated hippocampus. By mapping individual brain connectivity, the team has created a noninvasive "remote control" for ...

Researchers are developing a multiscale "neurometabolic" model to track how the brain's energy consumption drives aging and Alzheimer's. The $3.3M project aims to identify metabolic warning signs years be...

With data center power demand expected to nearly triple by 2030, tech companies are bankrolling new plants and even their own "shadow grid." The post The Mad Scramble to Power AI Is Rewiring the US Grid appeared ...

A fossil bed in China containing animals up to 554 million years old suggests that we may have to reconsider the idea that life suddenly diversified during the Cambrian explosion

Recognising rhythmic patterns was thought to require a big brain, but a series of experiments has shown that buff-tailed bumblebees have this ability, too

Scientists have discovered a way to make French fries less greasy without ruining their taste. By combining regular frying with microwave heating, they reduce the amount of oil absorbed during cooking. The key lies in pr...

Millions watched on April 1 as the Artemis II mission sent humans back to the moon for the first time since 1972. Here's the day in pictures.

Biologists have discovered that the male octopuss mating arm is a sophisticated sensory organ that "tastes" female hormones. The study reveals how these solitary creatures use "taste-by-touch" receptors t...

Researchers have developed CAMEO, a low-cost carbon nanotube sensor for monitoring human brain organoids. The scalable "basket" design allows for large-scale studies of neurodevelopmental disorders like Angelman ...

Remains from three Stone Age children in Vietnam may challenge long-standing ideas about the origin of syphilis, scientists say.

Chemists say theyve found a way to turn breadcrumbs into hydrogen, potentially offering a sustainable alternative to one of the most common chemical manufacturing processes.

Neuroscientists have identified a dedicated brain circuit responsible for chronic pain. By silencing this loop, researchers were able to end pain hypersensitivity in mice without affecting their ability to feel necessary...

For reasons that are still unclear, climate models underestimate the growing gap between the amount of energy Earth receives from the sun and the amount the planet radiates into space.

Quantum mechanics is extremely successful at describing the behavior of matter at the atomic level. This success forces one to accept that certain aspects of physical reality go far beyond our intuition. Among these, non...

Researchers have identified a neural pathway (LH to DRN) that controls physical attacks in mice without affecting threat displays. The study suggests that maladaptive aggression may be driven by an internal "aversive...

A team of researchers has identified atomic distortions that may be linked with high-temperature superconductivity in a promising class of nickel-based materials, offering new insight into how next-generation superconduc...

A new breakthrough in wireless technology could dramatically boost internet speeds while cutting energy use-by switching from radio waves to light. Researchers have developed a tiny chip packed with dozens of miniature l...

The experimental Hukeda-2 satellite and its highly flexible robotic arm have passed a major refuelling test in low Earth orbit. The demonstration is the latest step toward China significantly expanding the longevity of i...

Nelson Dellis credits techniques like the method of loci for his extraordinary memory. Now, brain scans have revealed the parts of his brain that this approach taps into, and how we can use it to improve our own recall

Most laser sources produce Gaussian beams that diverge as they propagate. This natural spreading limits their effectiveness in applications that require light to remain concentrated over long distances. To overcome this ...

A study of nearly 19,000 people reveals that a history of infectious mononucleosis (mono) triples the risk of developing Multiple Sclerosis. The findings suggest that preventing Epstein-Barr virus infections could be a k...

A galaxy spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope, known as Hebe, that existed just 400 million years after the big bang appears to contain extremely pure and young stars
