Researchers developed a computational model capable of predicting human emotions, encapsulating social intelligence attributes typically associated with the human 'theory of mind'. The model forecasts emotions such as jo...

Recent research illustrates a protective effect of progesterone on the enteric nervous system (ENS), often referred to as the body's "second brain". The study demonstrated that nerve cells treated with progesterone were ...

Air conditioning, refrigeration, and other cooling technologies account for more than 20 percent of today's global energy consumption, while the refrigerants they use have a global warming potential thousands of times gr...

Researchers discovered an unexpected link between the progression of ALS and PEG10, a protein traditionally known for its role in placental development. Overabundance of this protein in nerve tissue has been observed to ...

Nanophotonics and topology have generated significant interest due to the unique properties they offer. One area of focus is the investigation of topological edge states (TESs). These states have captured widespread atte...

Superconductors are increasingly finding applications in several areas, such as medical imaging techniques, drug delivery systems, energy storage systems, levitation processes, and water purification methods. This can be...

Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillion years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise internal processes th...

The brain processes voices differently depending on the volume of the speaker and if the listener is focused on them

Researchers have discovered a new 14-sided shape called the Spectre that can be used to tile a surface without ever creating a repeating pattern, ending a decades' long mathematical hunt.

Archaeologists in eastern India have unearthed an elephant statue thought to date to the third century B.C., when the region was mainly Buddhist.

Artificial intelligence models can use breast imaging data to pinpoint those at highest risk of getting breast cancer in the next five years, better than a standard approach.

Satellite images show fragments from the enormous iceberg A-76A dispersing near South Georgia island, where the previous world's largest iceberg also met its doom in 2020.

The long-pursued goal of a permanent, one-dose contraceptive may have been achieved in female cats and it should work in other species too

Prof. Wang Junqiang's team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the exponential relaxation events during the recovery process of glasses,...

Everyone is raving about hallucinogens as the future of antidepressants. LSD (better known as acid), psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms), and the "spirit molecule" DMT are all being tested in clinical t...

The Kakhovka dam in Ukraine has been damaged in an explosion, possibly as a result of Russian attack. The resulting floods could have a major impact on people and wildlife

A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led team has developed a new superconducting diode, a key component in electronic devices, that could help scale up quantum computers for industry use and improve the performance of ...

Previous reported interactions between orcas and sailboats followed a clear pattern, with the animals losing interest and swimming away once they had broken the rudder.

In Australia, a man recently survived a crocodile attack. An expert explains how the man likely escaped.

A test taken by more than 1.5 million people shows that the latest generation of artificial intelligences are almost indistinguishable from humans, at least in a brief conversation

Active living could significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, even for individuals with a higher genetic susceptibility. The research revealed that high levels of physical activity, particularly modera...

New research revealed compelling evidence that caregiver speech significantly enhances infants' brain development and long-term language abilities. Using MRI and audio recordings, the researchers demonstrated a clear ass...
