To lure squid to the surface, fishing vessels often use bright lights than can be seen by satellites. This has allowed researchers to track squid fishing that occurs away from oversight

Researchers have developed a new method that uses antibody fragments encapsulated in nanomicelles which can cross the blood-brain barrier and reduce levels of amyloid-beta in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer's dis...

Solanezumab, an investigational anti-amyloid treatment, does not significantly slow the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Restoring mitochondrial homeostasis in diseased neurons can protect the optic nerve from being damaged and potentially reverse symptoms of glaucoma.

As many as 1 in 44 children are diagnosed with autism, and those with ASD are at greater risk of obesity. Obesity has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes and other cardiometabolic diseases, including dyslipidemi...

Astronomers spotted a massive coronal mass ejection (CME) expanding its ethereal wings as it barrelled out of the sun and toward Mercury.

Study reveals two specific ways in which astrocytes directly impact motor learning.

Fossils of a 70 million-year-old platypus relative called Patagorhynchus pascuali found in South America show that egg-laying mammals evolved on more than one continent.

The peculiar topological properties of some forms of matter have been researched for decades. Now, researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have discovered topological properties of simple di...

When macaques use stones to crack nuts, they accidentally create flakes that look like early human artefacts, raising questions about whether such objects were made deliberately

Recently, the research team of Prof. Xiaohui Li at Shaanxi Normal University fabricated a section of γ-MnO2 dual-core double-hole fiber by combining γ-MnO2 with a special fiber, a dual-core pair-hole fiber, measuring i...

Addressable active layers are highly required in optoelectronic devices to realize functional integration and application. Metal halide perovskites have shown promising applications in optoelectronic devices due to their...

A robot that is controlled by Google's PaLM-E artificial intelligence language model can process images and text, respond to queries and even grab a bag of food for you from the kitchen

Scientists watched as a three-quasar system merged in a supercomputer simulation of the universe to birth a black hole 300 billion times as massive as the sun.

Bubbles are fun for everyone. But, it turns out, they can also be little menaces.

A skin and hair product that uses a yeast oil with properties similar to palm oil aims to help reduce deforestation tied to palm oil production

An artificial intelligence in the game Justice Online will let players customise characters to look like anything they want, including celebrities or dog people, just by typing in instructions - and the tech could make i...

An exponential increase in the amount of stored information is making the development of new optoelectronic devices increasingly important. Recently, photonic crystals have emerged as an alternative to overcome the limit...

Models for how heavy elements are produced within stars have become more accurate thanks to measurements by RIKEN nuclear physicists of the probabilities that 20 neutron-rich nuclei will shed neutrons.

Self-testing is a promising method to infer the physics underlying specific quantum experiments using only collected measurements. While this method can be used to examine bipartite pure entangled states, so far it could...

In work published in Science, the team led by Prof. Dr. Ulf Peschel reports on measurements on a sequence of pulses that travel thousands of kilometers through glass fibers that are only a few microns thin. The researche...

New James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal that the galaxy GS-9209 had its star-forming power abruptly "quenched" by mysterious forces after millions of years of productivity.
