Researchers have developed a new end-to-end neural network that can speed up the reconstruction of holographic images. Unlike other deep learning techniques, the approach can be used on samples not encountered during tra...

Study reveals specialized blood vessels in the whale brain protect them from pulses in their blood caused by swimming, which could cause brain damage.

Botulinum toxin, or Botox, can help dampen negative emotions for those suffering from borderline personality disorder.

Three factors have been identified that help keep your brain at its best.

Powering all shipping vessels with zero-emission fuels by 2050 would slash the industry's emissions, but it would require between $1 trillion and $1.4 trillion of investment

A new genetically based scoring model can accurately detect children most at risk of developing impulsive behaviors.

Using ultrasound, researchers captured the facial expressions of developing fetuses in response to the taste of foods their mothers were eating. When exposed to carrots, the fetuses displayed "laughter-face" expressions,...

Makers of the AlphaFold system won a Breakthrough Prize.

Quantum computers and communication devices work by encoding information into individual or entangled photons, enabling data to be quantum securely transmitted and manipulated exponentially faster than is possible with c...

New research in cloned pigs with a mutation of the SORL1 sheds light on Alzheimer's development. The findings could pave the way for new treatments for the neurodegenerative disorder.

When a whale pumps its tail up and down to swim, a wave of increased blood pressure moves from the tail to the head - but a network of vessels redirects the animal's blood to protect the brain

A new in-home device that monitors movement and gait speed can evaluate Parkinson's disease severity, progression, and a patient's response to medication.

Two new studies strengthen the link between gum disease and the development of Alzheimer's disease. The studies focus on the interactions between the gingipains enzyme interacts with the Tau protein, and how the gingipai...

Quantum computers have the potential to vastly exceed the capabilities of conventional computers for certain tasks. But there is still a long way to go before they can help to solve real-world problems. Many applications...

Using artificial neural networks to analyze neuroimaging data, researchers are able to accurately determine biological age.

Male bee hummingbirds evolved to be much smaller than females, possibly because their diminutive size allows them to make faster and more elaborate courtship flights

Two mass strandings have occurred in the same region of Tasmania.

There has been a lot of buzz about quantum computers and for good reason. The futuristic computers are designed to mimic what happens in nature at microscopic scales, which means they have the power to better understand ...

Microsoft's powerful Surface Pro X is just under $900 with this huge deal at Best Buy.

When materials are cooled down to extremely low temperatures, their behavior often differs strongly from that at room temperature. A well-known example is superconductivity: below a critical temperature some metals and o...

Researchers successfully turned skin cells from Parkinson's patients into dopaminergic neurons by introducing a combination of neural-inducing genes into the skin cells.

The Allen Institute is launching a new global collaboration to map approximately 200 billion cells in the human brain by type and function.
