Feelings of rejection can be common -- you may feel ostracized at work, rejected by a partner or even snubbed by friends -- but a new study from England shows how a gentle touch can curb these feelings of being excluded ...

(University of Texas at San Antonio) Researchers at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) have begun work on five new research initiatives to enhance clean energy production/integration, improve air quality and r...

Water-repellent surfaces and coatings could make ice removal a literal breeze by forcing ice to grow up rather than just skate by, says a new study from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and several Chinese institutions...

Researchers from Caltech and the University of Southern California (USC) report the first application of quantum computing to a physics problem. By employing quantum-compatible machine learning techniques, they developed...

A compound found in some plants used in traditional medicine has been linked to a 78 per cent of cases of liver cancer in hospitals in Taiwan

A protein injection that decreases appetite has been found to help obese monkeys slim down fast, and to cut their risk of developing diabetes

Brown University researchers have demonstrated for the first time a method of substantially changing the spatial coherence of light.

AlphaGo Zero, Google DeepMind's artificially intelligent Go player, dominates humans and other AIs by learning itself - without any human training

A vast electronic display in London's Piccadilly Circus will use cameras to watch nearby cars and target certain models with certain ads

IN 2016 Lee Sedol, one of the world's best players of Go, lost a match in Seoul to a computer program called AlphaGo by four games to one. It was a big event, both in the history of Go and in the history of artificial in...

The search goes on. No difference in protons and antiprotons have yet been found which would help to potentially explain the existence of matter in our universe. However, physicists in the BASE collaboration at the CERN ...

Cases of a rare type of cancer that is linked to breast implants appear to be on the rise, according to a new review.

A music major or law student might have native cybersecurity skills a trained IT student doesn't - and this online game will identify you

After decades of continuous growth, participation rates have started to decline. What does it mean for the future of the sport?

Synesthesia is a neurological condition that causes the brain to process data in the form of several senses at once; for example, hearing sounds while also seeing them as colorful swirls.

While American internet giants are developing speakers, Japanese companies are working on robots and holograms. They all share a common goal: to create the future platform for the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart homes...

Researchers from Concordia have made a breakthrough that could help your electronic devices get even smarter.

The French "prophet" knew that history repeats itself, and made his "predictions" based on previous events.

(Phys.org)--It has taken more than 20 years, but researchers have demonstrated for the first time that femtosecond lasers can be used to structurally manipulate bulk silicon for high-precision applications. Since the lat...

Quantum computing is at the threshold of tackling important problems that cannot be efficiently or practically computed by other, more classical means. Getting past this threshold will require us to build, test and opera...

Sending bunches of protons speeding around a circular particle collider to meet at one specific point is no easy feat. Many different collider components work keep proton beams on course--and to keep them from becoming u...

For an illness like cancer, doctors often turn to computed tomography (CT) scans for a more definitive diagnosis, based on reconstructing a 3-D organ from multiple 2-D image slices. At the molecular level, such 3-D scans...
