Scientists have uncovered an astonishing new chapter in humpback whale migration: two whales were found to have traveled between breeding grounds in Australia and Brazil, crossing more than 14,000 kilometers of open ocea...

Has the boundary between human consciousness and artificial imitation officially dissolved? A landmark study provides the first empirical proof of an AI system passing the Turing test.

A new study reveals that neutrophils, the body's most common white blood cells, act as hidden factories for C4A, the single strongest common genetic risk protein linked to schizophrenia.

Enough hydrogen is leaking from a single mine to power hundreds of homes. Researchers say it's far from unique. The post 70% of the Rock Under Our Feet Can Produce Hydrogen. Tapping It Could Power Your Town. appeared...

How does the brain coordinate complex behaviors across multiple overlapping circuits simultaneously? A breakthrough imaging pipeline introduces Neuroplex, a method that tracks up to nine distinct neuronal populations in ...

A new study exposes a dynamic link between higher-order forebrain circuits and the activity-dependent regulation of Foxp2, a foundational gene heavily implicated in childhood apraxia of speech and communication disorders...

A new study demonstrates that tracking high-speed facial micromovement spikes provides an objective, quantifiable metric for human discomfort.

Researchers identified a new species of box jellyfish and recorded a surprising range expansion for the Thai sea wasp after analyzing the morphology and DNA of a handful of jellies in Singapore.

Last week, a common hormonal condition that impacts millions of people got a new name. Tell us what you think about the change.

Today's computers store information using only two values: 0 and 1. But as electronic devices become smaller and reach their limits, scientists are searching for new ways to pack more information into the same space....

A decade ago, we discovered an exceptionally exciting exoplanet that could be the best candidate for hosting alien life. Now were about to find out if it really is

A solar farm in a tidal bay has generated more electricity and profits than a nearby coastal solar farm, but challenges could arise as floating solar moves further offshore

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a novel image projection system that delivers super-resolution images over an extended depth of field. By combining a neural network-based di...

Is adult neuroplasticity merely brain development in disguise? A new study reveals that mature neurons do not invent new mechanisms to learn and remember; instead, they re-engage an embryonic toolkit.

A sequential combination of a single ketamine infusion followed by four weeks of low-dose daily buprenorphine successfully extends the antisuicidal window of ketamine from one fleeting week to over a month.

An international team of scientists has developed a new analysis of how sound waves behave, revealing surprising effects that have largely been overlooked for decades. In the new paper in Scientific Reports, which was le...

Quantum technologies promise powerful new kinds of computers, giving scientists new tools to mimic and explore nature at its tiniest scales. At those levels, everything in nature-from atoms and electrons to light itself-...

If wind-assisted cargo ships chose routes based entirely on where the winds are better, their fuel use could be cut in half or even completely eliminated

Colossal Biosciences, the company that says it resurrected the dire wolf, now says it has developed artificial eggshells so it can replicate the huge eggs of the moa. Independent experts say this isn't nearly enough ...

The Withings Body Scan is not your everyday smart scale. Sure, it tracks your weight and body composition, but it also measures ECG, assesses the flexibility of your arteries and detects nerve activity in your feet.

Physicists at the University of Bayreuth have investigated the so-called Basset-Boussinesq history force acting on particles in fluids. Due to the difficulty of calculating it, this force is often neglected-a fact that B...
