Physicists have developed a "quantum stopwatch"--a method that stores time (in the form of states of quantum clocks) in a quantum memory. In doing so, the method avoids the accumulation of errors that usually occurs when...

By analyzing data collected over eight years ago, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have made a potentially groundbreaking discovery...

A new study reveals the quality of the playground experience during recess can have significant impact on a child's emotional well being, behavior and cognition.

Researchers have created a new audio-visual model that harnesses the power of deep neural networks that can isolate and enhance speech under natural conditions.

Caffeine has surprising effects when it comes to team work, researchers say. A new study reveals people who drank coffee gave more positive reviews about group task performance and were more on topic than those who drank...

Researchers say many children, especially girls, aren't taught basic motor skills like throwing or running. The researchers are developing an improved movement curriculum to increase motor skill competence in preschool a...

Researchers have developed a convolutional neural network capable of tracking, identifying and counting wild animals.

Researchers provide insight into the new horror movie 'Hereditary' and consider the question of whether mental illness can be inherited.

Targeting a protein called MUNC13-1 could help reduce tolerance to alcohol and reduce addiction, researchers say.

Researchers report male guppies who live in an environment with predators have greater brain mass than those who live in a predator free environment. However, there is no difference in brain size for female guppies.

Physicists developed a way to determine the electronic properties of thin gold films after they interact with light. Nature Communications published the new method, which adds to the understanding of the fundamental laws...

A new study reveals a link between prenatal depression and sleep quality in children. Researchers report maternal depression, both prenatal and postnatal, is associated with greater sleep disturbances in children.

Men who have prior experience with psychedelic drugs have a reduced likelihood of engaging in violence against their partner, a new study reports.

Researchers have identified specific brain functions that give you confidence that what you see is actually what you saw.

A groundbreaking study reveals human immune cells in the blood can be transformed into functional neurons within 3 weeks by adding four proteins. The discovery could be used to generate neurons to study specific psycholo...

Phonons are discrete units of vibrational energy predicted by quantum mechanics that correspond to collective oscillations of atoms inside a molecule or a crystal. When such vibrations are produced by light interacting w...

Wildflowers, shrubs, indigenous trees and cacti all bloom during this season, turning the brown desert landscape of the Sonoran Desert into a kaleidoscope of color.

For the last 6 months, the New Horizons spacecraft that flew past Pluto in 2015 has been in hibernation, hurtling towards a distant rock - it has just woken up

When the disembodied cockroach leg twitched, Yeongin Kim knew he had finally made it. A graduate student at Stanford, Kim had been working with an international team of neuroengineers on a crazy project: an artificial ne...

Embolization--the use of various techniques to cut off the blood vessels that feed tissue growth--has gained traction over the past few decades to treat cancerous tumors.

The bladder is a round, bag-like organ that stores urine. It is typically the size of a large grapefruit but can stretch much larger as needed.

An international team of researchers that includes scientists from Berkeley Lab's Computational Research Division (CRD) and Center for Advanced Mathematics for Energy Research Applications (CAMERA) continues to find new ...
