Individuals with the 22q11.2DS genetic deletion show unique patterns of brain activity and structure, which could predict their risk of psychosis. By studying brain "coupling" from childhood to adulthood, scientists disc...

Research reveals that increased alcohol consumption in individuals with bipolar disorder can exacerbate their symptoms over time. Contrary to the belief that alcohol acts as self-medication, the study shows no increase i...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are credited in the discovery of 16 of the 118 known elements. Now they've completed the crucial first step to potentially cre...

Researchers used Game of Thrones to study how the brain recognizes faces, providing insights into prosopagnosia, a condition affecting facial recognition in 1 in 50 people. MRI scans showed increased brain activity in re...

As the world grapples with an aging population, the rise in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's is becoming a significant challenge. These conditions place a heavy burden not only on those affl...

In high-energy physics, researchers have unveiled how high-energy partons lose energy in nucleus-nucleus collisions, an essential process in studying quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This finding could enhance our knowledge of ...

UCLA researchers have conducted an in-depth analysis of nonlinear information encoding strategies for diffractive optical processors, offering new insights into their performance and utility. Their study, published in Li...

It would be tricky to burn away the outer layers of Uranus, but doing so could reveal a possible stash of gems - in this episode of Dead Planets Society, the hosts reveal a relatively simpler technique to rob the ice gia...

A new system for forecasting weather and predicting future climate uses artificial intelligence to achieve results comparable with the best existing models while using much less computer power, according to its creators....

Researchers used lidar technology to map Iruña Veleia, a Roman-era city in Spain.

Researchers have discovered that, unlike other four-legged mammals, hippopotamuses trot at high speeds and become airborne for "quite a large amount of time."

Structured light can significantly enhance information capacity, due to its coupling of spatial dimensions and multiple degrees of freedom. In recent years, the combination of structured light patterns with image process...

The slow-running movement, in which people meet for unhurried jogs, is booming - but don't be fooled into thinking that if there's no pain, there's no gain

A supercrystal formation previously unobserved in a metal-insulating material was discovered by a Cornell-led research team, potentially unlocking new ways to engineer materials and devices with tunable electronic proper...

Female green and golden bell frogs in Australia will eat their male counterparts when the males' mating call displeases them.

Satellite imagery provides a unique perspective on our planet and can encompass a wide range of different scientific disciplines including climate change, weather, volcanic eruptions and even animal behavior. Every week,...

When your gym class is online at home, you don't necessarily need to miss out on the benefits that come from exercising in-person with others

A Spot robot armed with a flamethrower can locate weeds on farms and precisely heat them up to stop them growing, offering a possible alternative to herbicides

When it comes to exercise, more isn't necessarily better - and we're now discovering the ideal dose for better health

New photos show a young giraffe with an extremely deformed neck in Kruger National Park. The animal may have survived a broken neck or could have a severe case of an illness that also affects humans.

A dissipative time crystal is a phase of matter characterized by periodic oscillations over time, while a system is dissipating energy. In contrast with conventional time crystals, which can also occur in closed systems ...
