Researchers have shown that blending quantum computing with AI can dramatically improve predictions of complex, chaotic systems. By letting a quantum computer identify hidden patterns in data, the AI becomes more accurat...

A surprising new study suggests that eating a very healthy diet-packed with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains-might be linked to a higher risk of lung cancer in younger non-smokers. Researchers found that patients und...

Fewer than 10 people worldwide have eradicated the virus with stem cells. But this case was special-no one knew his brother's cells carried a protective mutation until transplant day. The post Norwegian Man Cured of ...

A first-of-its-kind one-year clinical trial proves that 150 minutes of weekly aerobic exercise significantly lowers long-term cortisol levels and slows brain aging.

Electric vehicles could store renewable energy when there is excess supply and give it back to the grid when demand peaks, but car companies disagree on the best way to do that

Researchers have developed a wearable AI sensor that reconstructs speech by reading microscopic neck movements, allowing patients without vocal cords to "speak" again.

Zebra finches grow new neurons that "bully" their way through the brain, a discovery that explains why humans might have evolved to limit brain regeneration to protect existing memories.

Group songwriting helps individuals with psychosis retrain their brain's "prediction" systems, leading to reduced paranoia and improved social connection.

Bears in Svalbard, Norway, are fatter than expected, and others in Greenland are showing signs of genetically adapting to climate change - but the signs elsewhere are not good.

Researchers have discovered that the 90% of brain signals usually ignored as "noise" can predict behavior just as accurately as the strongest signals, revealing a much more complex "hidden iceberg" of neu...

An AI model informed by calculations from a quantum computer can better predict the behavior of a complex physical system over the long term than current best models that use only conventional computers, according to a n...

Researchers using "human-on-a-chip" technology have found that Alzheimer's-related movement issues may start in the peripheral nerves, rather than the brain, offering a new path for early diagnosis.

Scientists have directly observed muonic molecules in resonance states for the first time, using a high-resolution X-ray detector, a new Science Advances study reports.

Cyclic cosmology, or the big bounce, is the idea that the universe will eventually crunch back together and then go through another big bang. Columnist Leah Crane finds that, appropriately, its coming back

Long before rising seas swallowed Doggerland beneath the North Sea, this lost landscape may have been a surprisingly lush and life-friendly haven. New DNA evidence reveals that forests of oak, elm, and hazel were already...

A hidden threat is emerging in the worlds glaciers: while most are shrinking, a rare group known as surging glaciers can suddenly accelerate, unleashing powerful and sometimes destructive events. Scientists have identifi...

A new quantum sensing approach could dramatically improve how scientists measure low-frequency electric fields, a task that has long been limited by bulky setups and blurry resolution. Instead of relying on traditional v...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how bacteria share genes-including those that spread antibiotic resistance. Tiny virus-like particles called gene transfer agents (GTAs), once ancient viral invaders, have ...

Sparkling water is often seen as a simple, healthy drink-but could it also help with weight loss? New research suggests it may slightly boost how the body processes blood sugar and energy. However, the effect is very sma...
