Using a new technology called The Virtual Brain, researchers are able to create personalized computerized brain models of individual patients based on their anatomy, structural connectivity, and brain dynamics.

Findings reveal a toxin-producing gut bacteria may be responsible for triggering the onset of multiple sclerosis and play a significant role in the progression of the disease.

The bounds on Ramsey numbers, which describe relationships between nodes in a network, have been narrowed.

In two new studies, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have greatly improved the efficiency and power output of a series of chip-scale devices that generate laser light at different ...

Astrocytic α7-subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7nAChRs) have been implicated as a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of early Alzheimer's disease.

A new study reports aging may not be a result of accumulative damage to the body, but instead is the result of "design" flaws in our DNA that orchestrates the development of single cells into an adult organism.

A cold sparkling water. Waves crashing on the beach. The crackle of a bonfire. Steam from a kettle.

Combining novel virtual reality imaging with machine learning, researchers were able to accurately detect mouse models of ASD compared to wild-type mice based on cortical functional network dynamics while the animal was ...

A gamma ray burst observed in 2022 was brighter than any explosion ever spotted before, and follow-up observations are threatening to break our understanding of how these blasts work

Scientists are taking a closer look at the afterglow left by the brightest gamma-ray burst ever recorded, and what they see doesn't fit with any theoretical models.

Scientists detected water trapped inside glass spherules on the moon after analyzing soil samples brought back by China's Chang'e-5 mission.

Heavy rain in Australia has led to an influx in venomous spiders being washed into people's swimming pools. Species found include funnel-web spiders, the venom of which is so toxic it can kill a child in just 15 minutes.
