Feeling constantly drained might not just be about poor sleep or working too hard. Researchers in Japan found that low levels of key vitamins - especially vitamin B12 and folate - may quietly contribute to fatigue and la...

Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny muscle contractions. They discovered that human neurons gradually lose their ability to regrow ...

CBD may be doing far more than just easing pain or anxiety - new research suggests it could help fight Alzheimers disease by calming the brains runaway immune response. In experiments using Alzheimers mice, scientists fo...

AI can rifle through enormous libraries of information to connect far-flung ideas-conceptual leaps remain a purely human skill. The post An AI Solution to an 80YearOld Problem Has Shocked Mathematicians appeared first on...

A new study details a localized "NanoMesh" implant that delivers three synergistic drugs directly to the site of glioblastoma tumors.

A sea-urchin-like robot could offer a new blueprint for making more versatile robots, research suggests.

Utilizing the classic "rubber hand illusion," researchers discovered that participants who scored low on scales of identity clarity and stability were highly vulnerable to the sensory trick, attempting to absorb ...

A new study evaluates data from 307 studies spanning 1989 to 2024 to prove that college students face vastly higher levels of perfectionism than previous generations. Rather than a simple drive for excellence, this gener...

An extremely fast microscopy method to research the interaction of light and matter makes it possible to study optical processes on very short timescales. To this end, a German-Italian research team is combining holograp...

Physicists from Emory University have led work to develop a microscopic, nonlinear light source that can be switched on, off or tuned to a particular intensity by an electrical "knob." The paper is published in t...

A new study validates that circulating autoantibodies are the direct physiological drivers behind the chronic symptom burden in a distinct subset of long COVID patients.

After an AI from OpenAI found a trick to solve an 80-year-old conjecture from Paul Erds, mathematicians have borrowed the same technique to solve another important problem

A new study leverages 3D stem cell organoids to prove that previously "irreversible" central nervous system damage can, in fact, be reversed. By growing interconnected "mini-brains" and spinal cords in a ...

Material scientists in China have created a new kind of coating that keeps clothes clean without the need for wasteful detergents. It could reduce the water and electricity costs of doing laundry by 80%.

After traveling hundreds of miles above Earth and spending months aboard the International Space Station, a University of Delaware experiment has returned to campus, bringing new data on how turbulence behaves in microgr...

A research team from Tohoku University, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has invented a new way to efficiently guide spin waves around sharp corners with minimal loss-r...

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside are making breakthroughs in understanding how quantum wave functions move across ultra-thin materials-research that could eventually improve solar energy technologies...

AI start-ups with hundreds of millions of dollars in funding are hiring mathematicians and building AI systems that they hope will not only solve mathematics, but also build more intelligent AI

The cost of CAR T-cell therapy means that the highly effective cancer treatment is unavailable in many parts of the world. But a new way of making these cells could dramatically drive down the cost

In a grandfather clock, a pendulum swings back and forth and this periodic motion is maintained using the energy stored in its suspended weights. This is done with the help of the escapement mechanism, which converts the...

Researchers want stricter testing, better labels and accurate dosages for a wildly popular sleep aid that comes with some risks.

Honeycombs are famous for their elegant design, but now they may have found a new application: quantum computing. To collect knowledge from subatomic particles, quantum computers require carefully designed materials capa...
