Optics researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have shown for the first time that a new method for manufacturing ultrathin semiconductors yields material in which excitons survive up to 100 times longer than in ...

A large star surrounded by a spiral-shaped disk of dust could be the result of an ancient near-miss collision at the Galactic Center.

A smaller version of the amyloid-beta protein, AB 1-40, builds up on the wall of small arteries and reduces blood flow to the brain, a new study reports.

New research finds smoking significantly increases the risk of a person developing schizophrenia or depression.

Inhaling air pollution could result in toxic particles being transported from the lungs to the brain via the bloodstream, ultimately resulting in neurological damage.

When will 6G be a reality? The race to realize sixth generation (6G) wireless communication systems requires the development of suitable magnetic materials. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and their colleag...

A neuroimaging-based machine learning algorithm can detect Alzheimer's in the brain with 98% accuracy. The system is also 79% accurate at determining which stage of Alzheimer's disease a patient has.

The Russia-controlled Northern Sea Route is one of the only ways ships can sail through the Arctic. Melting sea ice could open passages around it by 2035

The Oclean X Pro Elite is an app-aided, sleek-looking electric toothbrush that monitors your brushing - and offers advice on how to do it better

Scientists built a computer model that can rapidly scan the entire genome of cancer cells and identify mutations that occur more frequently than expected, suggesting that they are driving tumor growth.

A temporary graphene tattoo that monitors blood pressure has been awarded the highest possible accuracy grading for such a monitoring device

Despite a study claiming that food-mile emissions are higher than previously thought, eating less animal produce remains much more important than how far your food travels

Scientists have made a pivotal new breakthrough in the quest to control light to evolve the next generation of quantum sensing and computing.

A new genetic discovery adds weight to a theory that motor neuron degenerative diseases are caused by abnormal lipid (fat) processing pathways inside brain cells. This theory will help pave the way to new diagnostic appr...

A single MRI scan of the brain could be enough to diagnose Alzheimer's disease, according to new research.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer affecting children. The T-ALL form of leukemia that emerges from early T lineage cells has a poorer prognosis than B-lineage ALL. The prognosis for relapsed T-...

Genes are like Egyptian hieroglyphs. Thanks to advances in whole-genome sequencing, it's increasingly easy to read each DNA letter. But the strings of A, T, C, and G bring up a second puzzle: what, if anything, do they m...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances discusses how deep learning makes single-shot, high-resolution structured light 3D imaging possible.

Trapped-ion quantum computers are quantum devices in which trapped ions vibrate together and are fully isolated from the external environment. These computers can be particularly useful for investigating and realizing va...

A team of researchers at University College London has developed a way to keep objects levitated by sound waves airborne when other objects interfere with the levitation path. In their paper published in the journal Scie...

The COP15 meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity will be relocated to Montreal due to fears the Chinese government would postpone the event again
