Scientists made a twin version of our universe, showing the evolution of all forms of matter and energy, in the biggest cosmological computer simulation to date.

Quantum physicists at Delft University of Technology have shown that it's possible to control and manipulate spin waves on a chip using superconductors for the first time. These tiny waves in magnets may offer an alterna...

Flatworms are slow-moving predators with poor vision, but one of them managed to attack a spider as it guarded its egg sac

The photos, taken in the 1960s and 1970s by the first spy satellites, reveal that the eastern border of the Roman Empire was a place of vibrant trade.

Coherence stands as a pillar of effective communication, whether it is in writing, speaking or information processing. This principle extends to quantum bits, or qubits, the building blocks of quantum computing. A quantu...

Researchers have discovered an interaction between two brain proteins, MAP6 and Kv3.1, that affect movement, anxiety, and memory in mice. The connection between these proteins is critical for maintaining these functions.

For the first time, experimental physicists from the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat have demonstrated a new quantum effect aptly named the "spinaron." In a meticulously controlled environment and using a...

Researchers shed light on the lesser-discussed advantages of autism in workplace settings. Contrary to the 'bystander effect', where individuals are less likely to intervene in adverse situations when others are present,...

Viruses that infect bacteria - called phages - are abundant in our bodies, and they seem to have beneficial effects when our cells engulf them

It's been 30 years since a group of scientists led by Carl Sagan found evidence for life on Earth using data from instruments on board NASA’s Galileo robotic spacecraft. Yes, you read that correctly. Among his many pea...

There's still time to see a rare oasis that formed in Death Valley.

Research reveals that infants with stunted growth show cognitive ability disruptions as early as six months. The study demonstrates that visual working memory in these infants is compromised, leading to higher distractib...

While traditional visual training methods enhance perception only in specific visual regions, a new study presents a breakthrough. By actively exploring visual stimuli via eye movement, participants improved their entire...

New research from the University of Birmingham shows that the electronic structure of metals can strongly affect their mechanical properties.

Semiconductors--most notably, silicon--underpin the computers, cellphones, and other electronic devices that power our daily lives, including the device on which you are reading this article.

Scientists have received the first transmissions from a muon detector placed 1 km underground in the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory.

Researchers discovered that music, specifically individuals' favorite tracks, can reduce pain perception. In the study, participants felt less pain intensity and unpleasantness when listening to their favorite music comp...

Researchers mapped out "cake-like" fossil layers belonging to a group of ancient marine creatures from the supercontinent Gondwana that mysteriously died off 390 million years ago.

New research delves into how adults make sense of the limited vocabulary of young children. Through analyzing thousands of hours of transcribed audio, researchers created computational models to understand adult interpre...

Having a stuffy nose often comes with pain and tenderness around your cheeks, eyes or forehead. But what do blocked sinuses look like inside your head?

A new report reveals that adolescents and young adults want fewer romantic and sexual storylines in media, with a focus on friendships and platonic ties. About 44.3% feel romance is overrepresented, while 47.5% believe s...
