The silicon microchips of future quantum computers will be packed with millions, if not billions of qubits--the basic units of quantum information--to solve the greatest problems facing humanity. And with millions of qub...

A new study reveals a potential link between sleep apnea, reduced time in deep sleep, and brain biomarkers associated with increased risk of conditions like stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and cognitive decline.

New research sheds light on the similarity-attraction effect, a psychological principle that governs how we form relationships based on shared interests. The study highlight the critical role of 'self-essentialist reason...

Researchers have developed human brain organoids that contain microglia, the immune cells of the brain. These organoids allow researchers to study how microglia develop and function in a more realistic setting than previ...

A team of researchers led by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Trevor David Rhone, assistant professor in the Department of Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy, has identified novel van der Waals (vdW) magnets using...

A rogue black hole may not be to blame for a mysterious streak of stars coursing through space, a new study suggests.

Our intuition tells us that it should be impossible to see whether two identical objects have been swapped back and forth, and for all particles observed to date, that has been the case. Until now.

People with a genetic risk for psychosis have an imbalance of glutamate and GABA neurotransmitters in their brains, specifically in the hippocampus.

Solar-powered balloons floating 20 kilometres above ground have recorded inaudible low-frequency signals that have so far not been traced back to any known source

The two main methods of measuring the expansion of the universe have always disagreed, and observations of a supernova found in 2014 have thrown another wrench in the works

Even for cold-blooded sharks, the deep ocean is frigid. To tolerate low temperatures as they dive for deep-water squid, scalloped hammerheads close their gills

Researchers have discovered that our beliefs, when strongly held, can actually change how we physically experience the world around us.

Butterflies with larger wingspans may be more likely to expand their range at high latitudes because they can fly to new habitats as temperatures rise

Researchers have found a link between frequent YouTube usage and increased levels of loneliness, anxiety, and depression, especially among viewers under 29. The study raises concerns about 'parasocial relationships' betw...

Super resolution imaging has been a hot topic for over the last few decades in the imaging community, particularly, in the field of microscopy. Although several interesting feats have been achieved in the microscopic ima...

Although halide perovskite light-emitting devices exhibit exceptional properties, such as high efficiency, high color purity and broad color gamut, their industrial integration generally suffers from the technological co...

The risk of developing long COVID symptoms may be significantly increased in adults with sleep apnea.

A study involving more than 28,000 people strongly supports the idea that daily smoking shrinks the brain.

Researchers have discovered that unusual swirling "slicks" that occasionally appear on the Baltic Sea are actually made from floating tree pollen.

The white snake was safely captured by wildlife experts in India before being released back into the wild.

The excitonic insulator is an electronically driven phase of matter that can occur in solids. Scientists are searching for ways to detect and stabilize this exotic order in candidate quantum materials because it could pa...

A new study reveals student attitudes towards artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education. The majority of the 6,000 students surveyed expressed positive views towards AI tools like ChatGPT, with more than a third u...
