Synchronised blinking may reflect a certain cognitive state that professional racers have when controlling a fast-moving car

Researchers studying the molecular mechanisms of our biological clocks have made a critical breakthrough, identifying a key interaction that controls the timing of our body's internal clock. This discovery provides signi...

A simple mechanical system built from aluminium rods uses vibrations to encode information, mimicking quantum computing in a non-quantum system

The white anteater, known as Alvin, was first spotted late last year clinging to his mother's back.

Researchers discovered tactile stimulation at a frequency of 40 Hz can help in reducing Alzheimer's disease pathology and symptoms. The study, conducted on Alzheimer's model mice, demonstrated improved brain health and m...

Walking is less popular and more perilous in the U.S. than in other countries, according to a new study. Comparing U.S. statistics to European counterparts like the U.K., Germany, and the Netherlands, the study reveals t...

A new study employs 'Evolutionary Action Machine Learning' (EAML) to explore sex-specific genes that contribute to Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Researchers discovered 98 genes associated with AD, some of which were found to...

Abnormalities in eye blood vessels could provide early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. By comparing blood vessels in retinas from Alzheimer's patients, individuals with mild cognitive impairment, and healthy subjects, ...

Researchers have identified a potential new treatment method for Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), a leading cause of autism spectrum disorders. The method involves contracting the CGG trinucleotide repeat in the FMR1 gene, ther...

Researchers have developed an artificial electronic skin (e-skin) capable of converting sensory inputs into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. This skin-like material incorporates soft integrated circuits a...

Pregnant women are more likely to complete cannabis use disorder (CUD) treatment if referred by the justice system, community partners, or health care providers. The research provides novel insights into treatment outcom...

Researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to dig deep into the mechanisms of gene activation, a crucial process in growth, development, and disease. Utilizing machine learning, the team identified "synthetic ext...

A well-preserved 7,000-year-old skeleton discovered near Kraków may have belonged to a Neolithic farmer.

Joro spiders have spread all over Georgia and its neighboring states, but they don't owe their success to a combative nature -- quite the opposite, in fact.

A recent study suggests that the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, typically used to prevent tuberculosis, may also reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study followed 6,467 individual...

Researchers discovered an exciting new role for a widely known protein, ubiquitin, particularly in its K-63 form. They found K-63 ubiquitin selectively influences fear memory formation in female brains, potentially contr...

Better understanding the formation of swirling, ring-shaped disturbances--known as vortex rings--could help nuclear fusion researchers compress fuel more efficiently, bringing it closer to becoming a viable energy source...

Sunscreens work in two ways: either by blocking harmful UV rays from reaching the skin, or by converting the rays into heat that can be released from the body.

Imagine using your cell phone to control the activity of your own cells to treat injuries and disease. It sounds like something from the imagination of an overly optimistic science fiction writer. But this may one day be...

An international team of researchers including scientists from FAU has, for the first time, used X-rays for an imaging technique that exploits a particular quantum characteristic of light. In their article, which has now...

Semicrystalline polymers are solids that are assumed to flow only above their melting temperature. In a new study published in Science Advances, Chien-Hua Tu and a research team at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Re...

After experimental stem cell therapy, people who required assistance walking due to symptoms of progressive multiple sclerosis saw their mobility improve
