People with schizophrenia have significantly higher rates of tandem repeats in their genome, up to 7% more than in people without the mental health disorder. The genes were primarily found in genes crucial to brain funct...

Quantum experiment conducted on Google's Sycamore 2 computer transferred data across two simulated black holes, adding weight to the holographic principle of the universe

Lecanemab, an amyloid-clearing monoclonal antibody drug shows positive results in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The drug is now poised for FDA approval early in 2023. Lecanemab slows cognitive decline by 27%.

Optical photons are ideal carriers of quantum information. But to work together in a quantum computer or network, they need to have the same color--or frequency--and bandwidth. Changing a photon's frequency requires alte...

Doctors reported a case of a man who developed a cough due to a large mass in his chest.

The James Webb Space Telescope and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii have watched clouds changing shape in the sky of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, which could help us understand its weird atmosphere

It looked like a cormorant but was not a bird

An experimental HIV vaccine led to antibodies against the virus in 35 out of 36 volunteers, but whether this offers protection against the infection is unclear

An AI has learned to deceive human opponents in the war-themed board game Stratego, which involves imperfect information and a huge number of possible game scenarios

Water that simply will not freeze, no matter how cold it gets--a research group involving the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has discovered a quantum state that could be described in this way.

Scientists from the University of Rostock, Germany were able to recreate fundamental physical properties from the realm of elementary particle physics in a photonic system. The results are published in Nature Physics.

When sunlight reflects on an oily puddle of water in a parking lot, it creates a rainbow of swirling colors. That's because of the thin film interference principle, which explains how light reflects off of different laye...

It was believed that it was impossible to differentiate the enantiomers of a chiral molecule using helical light beams--until now that is, thanks to a group of uOttawa researchers.

Soft magnetic materials, i.e., materials that can be easily magnetized and demagnetized, play an essential role in transformers, generators, and motors. The ability of a magnetic material to resist an external magnetic f...

Ancient owl carvings from the Iberian Peninsula were likely toys that children carved themselves.

Scientists recently discovered the first non-avian theropod dinosaur with a streamlined body similar to that of penguins, auks and other modern diving birds.

Before Mars dried up, an asteroid slammed into one of its oceans and caused a colossal megatsunami, and now researchers have found the crater where it hit

An analysis of a fossil has revealed a new species of dinosaur named Natovenator polydontus. It was semi-aqautic, looked a bit like a duck and ate meat

Whispering gallery modes, a type of wave that can travel around concave surfaces, have proved to be promising for the development of new technologies, particularly in photonics. Due to geometrical limitations, in circula...

Buried nuts would quickly rot in the tropical rainforests of Hainan Island, so flying squirrels have taught themselves carpentry instead

In just about any situation in which electricity is being used, whether it is lighting a bedroom at night, keeping frozen food cold, or powering a car that is taking a commuter to work, some of that electrical energy is ...

Austin, Texas-based 3D printing construction company ICON has gotten some pretty significant projects off the ground in recent years, from a 50-home development in Mexico to a 100-home neighborhood in Texas. This week th...
