Graph states, a class of entangled quantum states that can be represented by graphs, have been the topic of numerous recent physics studies, due to their intriguing properties. These unique properties could make them par...

Researchers introduced a new mRNA cancer vaccine that rapidly activates the immune system against glioblastoma, the deadliest form of brain tumor. This new vaccine technology, which mimics the structure of COVID-19 vacci...

Gravity is part of our everyday life. Still, the gravitational force remains mysterious: to this day we do not understand whether its ultimate nature is geometrical, as Einstein envisaged, or governed by the laws of quan...

Mars has had frequent planet-wide auroras in recent months, including an unprecedented trio of events in February. Experts say the sudden increase is the result of the ongoing solar maximum.

A study published in Opto-Electronic Science discusses high-intensity spatial-mode steerable frequency up-converter toward on-chip integration.

Remembering past anger can significantly impair blood vessel function, crucial for maintaining healthy blood flow. The study involved 280 adults who underwent emotional tasks that induced feelings of anger, anxiety, or s...

Finnair has cancelled flights to Tartu in Estonia this month because of an ongoing GPS jamming attack - and there is evidence that the attack is being controlled from Russia

During the first half of sleep, the brain actively weakens the synaptic connections formed during wakefulness, supporting the Synaptic Homeostasis Hypothesis on the purpose of sleep. This finding suggests that sleep serv...

By ignoring declining air pollution, regional climate models have greatly underestimated how hot Europe's summers and heatwaves will become

Using neuroimaging, researchers identified a brain network crucial to human consciousness. Using advanced multimodal MRI techniques, the team mapped connections among the brainstem, thalamus, and cortex, forming what the...

A new map of a brain network that sustains wakefulness in humans could help improve our understanding of consciousness.

From an energy perspective, the move away from sodium vapour lamps to LEDs is great, but the news isn't so good when it comes to light pollution. The way we illuminate the world needs to be part of our green agenda, says...

Nostalgia isn't only about a rose-tinted view of the past. This emotion can also be put to use in surprising places, says Agnes Arnold-Forster

My colleagues call me a supervillain for trying to destroy the cosmos, but this kind of imaginative thinking isn't so far from what scientists do, says space reporter Leah Crane

Drugs like Ozempic may help fight obesity. Johann Hari's first-person account of taking the new medicines is a fascinating exploration of their impact

The future prime minister of this increasingly powerful nation should be prepared to play a key role in global climate policy

Feedback is intrigued by the possibilities of a new paper theorising that computer vision could be used to reconstruct shredded banknotes contained in a paperweight souvenir

After many years of preparations, CERN has approved a new experiment: the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP). Physicist Alexey Boyarsky was involved from the start. "We know there is physics that's missing and we aim to ...

To anyone living in a city where autonomous vehicles operate, it would seem they need a lot of practice. Robotaxis travel millions of miles a year on public roads in an effort to gather data from sensors--including camer...

Chemists have found a link between the taste of a beverage and the shapes formed by its water and ethanol molecules, which explains why spirits like whisky taste more alcoholic at warmer temperatures

Disrupted gut microbiomes in male mice increase their offspring's risk of low birth weight, stunted growth and premature death

Incredible results from trials of several new medications show they can prevent potentially deadly reactions to foods like peanuts, eggs and dairy - and may one day treat asthma
