Mitochondria dont just generate energy-they also carefully organize their own DNA in a surprisingly elegant way. Scientists have discovered that a long-overlooked phenomenon called mitochondrial pearling, where mitochond...

Spending time with close companions might do more than strengthen bonds-it could also reshape your gut bacteria. In a study of island birds, those with stronger social ties shared more gut microbes, especially types that...

An analysis of DNA from Stone Age skeletons buried in Scotland reveals how people organized the burial of their dead.

Removing CO2 from the atmosphere by capturing the carbon from burning biomass is supposed to save the planet, but it looks like the flagship project will never happen

Public restrooms might seem like a germ nightmare, but the real risks arent always where you think. While toilet seats can carry bacteria, viruses, and even parasite traces, studies show theyre often cleaner than high-to...

The technology harnesses the brain's own blood chemistry to assemble soft, light-controlled electrodes around neurons. The post Scientists Grow Electronics Inside the Brains of Living Mice appeared first on Singulari...

Adding a "wiggle" of randomness to robotic movement prevents gridlock in swarms. This "noise" allows robots to self-organize and optimize task efficiency in crowded spaces.

A man known as the "Oslo patient" joins a short list of people in long-term remission from HIV following bone marrow transplants.

Some gut bacteria recycle discarded sex hormones, like oestrogens, back into the body. The level of these bacteria seems to be higher in industrialised societies, which could have big implications for our health

Trace amounts of antiseptic chemicals in hospital rooms may be driving tolerance and resistance in bacteria, a study finds.

Researchers discovered RPN1-CDG, a new rare genetic disease. The condition is caused by an RPN1 gene mutation that disrupts how cells attach sugar molecules to proteins.

Middle ear conditions like perforated eardrums and cholesteatoma double the risk of dementia. However, surgery or hearing aids can significantly reduce this risk.

A new study finds that teens are developing behavioral addictions to AI chatbots like Character.AI. Researchers call for new design frameworks to prevent unhealthy attachments and protect young users.

Homo erectus may have deliberately selected rocks embedded with fossils and crystals to craft their hand axes - possibly to serve as mediators between humans and the cosmos.

A key factor for the performance of sensors is the speed at which the system returns to its initial state after a disturbance or measurement, similar to the taring of a balance. In the quantum sensor under investigation,...

A new study by scientists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) shows that when a pressure disturbance moves across an ultrasoft elastic material, such as a gel or a biological ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades in the making, could help physicists probe the relationship between quantum mechanics and gravit...

Quantum computers stand to revolutionize research by helping investigators solve certain problems exponentially faster than with conventional computers. Current quantum computers encounter a challenge where they lose sto...

The Artemis II crew have spoken publicly for the first time since their return to Earth.

New research shows that environmental enrichment reduces fentanyl intake and prevents stress-induced relapse by lowering stress hormones, offering a scalable strategy for addiction treatment.

An international team of scientists, including researchers from Loughborough University, has developed a method to dramatically speed up the discovery and design of advanced materials. The study, published in Physical Re...

A reactive amygdala predicts heavy drinking in young men via depressive symptoms, but actually protects young women by fostering "threat avoidance."
