Using neuroimaging technology to examine white matter tracts in the brain, researchers were able to diagnose Alzheimer's disease with 95% accuracy.

Scientists from ITMO University have proposed a new technology for creating optical micro-waveguides using inkjet printing. Using this method, it is possible to quickly create waveguides with the necessary parameters wit...

Researchers report a brain computer interface can enable those with paralysis to directly operate tablet technology just by thinking about cursor movements and clicks.

The thickness of the brain's neocortex influences how individual neurons process information, a new study reveals.

A new DNA vaccine tested in mice significantly reduces tau and amyloid beta, two proteins implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The findings, researchers say, may pave the way for clinical trials in humans with the neurodeg...

Researchers report imagining a threat can help people conquer their fears of the threat.

According to researchers, musical intervention can help to improve mood and decrease agitation in those with dementia.

Scientists have discovered that semiconducting molecules with unpaired electrons, termed 'radicals' can be used to fabricate very efficient organic-light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), exploiting their quantum mechanical 'spin...

There's a new type of electric plane that produces no emissions, the only problem is it is very small and can only fly 55 metres

Disposable nappies have been named as the latest plastic good we should ban, but there are problems with compostable and reusable alternatives too

Although it may look like a dinosaur, a newly identified sail-backed reptile that lived 300 million years ago is actually more closely related to humans, a new study finds.

A new cellular immunotherapy treatment that targets the Epstein Barr virus improves the quality of life for those with multiple sclerosis, researchers report.

Flickers of light from the edge of the cosmos help physicists advance the idea that the future is not predetermined --

Experts say that the biggest health danger from the smoke comes from the particulate matter that it contains.

Research led by a University of Sussex scientist has turned a 156-year-old law of physics on its head in a development which could lead to more efficient recharging of batteries in cars and mobile phones.

Scientists at the RDECOM Research Laboratory, the Army's corporate research laboratory (ARL) have found a novel way to safeguard quantum information during transmission, opening the door for more secure and reliable comm...

Converging exponential technologies will transform media, advertising and the retail world. The world we see, through our digitally-enhanced eyes, will multiply and explode with intelligence, personalization, and brillia...

It has been widely reported that antidepressants prescriptions rose more than usual after the UK referendum, but in fact their rate of increase slowed

We're in the midst of one of the busiest weeks of the year for air travel, with 30.6 million passengers expected to fly on US airlines in the days leading up to and following Thanksgiving. On a daily basis, the Transport...

Second-order nonlinear optical processes play a pivotal role in both classical and quantum applications, ranging from extension of the accessible frequencies to generation of quantum entangled photon pairs and squeezed s...

Using micromagnetic simulation, scientists have found the magnetic parameters and operating modes for the experimental implementation of a fast racetrack memory module that runs on spin current, carrying information via ...

Reseachers at ETH Zurich have developed a modulator with which data transmitted via millimetre waves can be directly converted into light pulses for optical fibres. This could make covering the "last mile" up to the inte...
