How do muscle cells grow after a workout? And how do your genetics affect your experience as a gymgoer?

There is a lot we don't know about protons, the particles at the heart of the atom, from what they are made of to whether they live forever. Solving the mysteries surrounding them could transform our understanding of the...

Shark Week 2023 is back and meaner than ever. If you're fascinated by these animals, you might want to take a look at everything this event has to offer.

Researchers developed AI software that rapidly analyzes bone density scans to predict a person's future risk of health conditions, such as heart attacks, stroke, falls, fractures, and dementia.

Experts from CERN, DESY, IBM Quantum and others have published a white paper identifying activities in particle physics that could benefit from the application of quantum-computing technologies

Predicting the numerical value of the magnetic moment of the muon is one of the most challenging calculations in high-energy physics. Some physicists spend the bulk of their careers improving the calculation to greater p...

Psychologists revealed people's judgments of truthfulness are influenced by what they perceive as the information source's intentions. They found that even when individuals knew the factual accuracy of a claim, their jud...

Metamaterials are a type of artificial material which, as the prefix "meta"--meaning in Greek "after" or "beyond"--indicates, demonstrate electromagnetic properties and other characteristics not found in nature.

The first scientific study of 18th-century paper money printed by Benjamin Franklin reveals that the inventor developed innovations that paved the way for modern currencies

A third new Alzheimer's drug, donanemab, is set for FDA approval, marking a significant step in slowing the progression of the disease. However, these treatments, which work best in the disease's early stages, may not su...

Imagine shrinking light down to the size of a tiny water molecule, unlocking a world of quantum possibilities. This has been a long-held dream in the realms of light science and technology. Recent advancements have broug...

A new study sheds light on how certain anti-inflammatory drugs may prove to be effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The team zeroed in on a protein known as p38.

The early universe could be home to huge stars powered by dark matter annihilation instead of fusion - and the James Webb Space Telescope may have already found some

Between 12am and 1am on 17 July, a weather station in Death Valley, California measured temperatures of 48.9°C (120°F). If confirmed it would be the hottest recorded temperature at that time

NASA's Perseverance rover has found an intriguing menagerie of organic molecules in a Martian crater, but their source remains unclear.

The head movements that come from some kinds of exercise may bathe brain cells in a fluid that has a blood pressure-lowering effect, according to a study that uses a chair that mimics jogging

Knowing when to say "I don't know" is a key issue for artificial intelligence tools, which a new AI for clinical decision-making developed by Google aims to address

Lasers are a significant historical invention with ubiquitous impact in society. The concept also has interdisciplinary applications as phonon lasers and atom lasers. A laser in one physical domain can be pumped by energ...

Over the past decades, physicists and engineers have been trying to develop various technologies that leverage quantum mechanical effects, including quantum microscopes. These are microscopy tools that can be used to stu...

Researchers from the Complex Photonic Systems (COPS) group used two layers of random materials to encrypt and decrypt a message sent via light communication. With that, they hid the sender and receiver simultaneously, an...

Two coronal mass ejections have combined into an enormous cloud of magnetized plasma that is forecast to hit Earth on Tuesday and potentially trigger a strong geomagnetic storm.

Outstanding camera performance makes the Google Pixel 7 a photographer's or videographer's best companion and packs a huge punch for the price.
