Interference (excess noise) to quantum signals from sunlight has slowed down the creation of a global scale quantum communications network, but now physicists at Heriot-Watt University have proposed a way to tackle this ...

"We were looking for the bed of the ice and out pops Camp Century. We didn't know what it was at first."

We loved using the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, and now the 13.8-inch version is available for 25% off this Black Friday week.

A new study reveals that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein remains in brain-protective tissues and skull bone marrow for years after infection, potentially driving long COVID's neurological symptoms. Using advanced imaging, r...

A new study reveals that individuals with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and a family history of mental illness have a heightened risk of aggression during adulthood, particularly between ages 40 and 59. Research...

A new study demonstrates that large language models (LLMs) can predict the outcomes of neuroscience studies more accurately than human experts, achieving 81% accuracy compared to 63% for neuroscientists. Using a tool cal...

A new study reveals that modern humans, Neanderthals, and other relatives evolved larger brains through gradual changes within each species, overturning the idea of sudden leaps in brain size. Researchers used the larges...

A new study reveals shared genetic underpinnings between musical rhythm abilities and language-related traits, including dyslexia. Using data from over 1 million individuals, researchers identified 16 overlapping genome ...

Curiosity has just finished the latest leg of its 12-year Mars mission and will now set out to explore miles of web-like surface features left behind by ancient water on the Red Planet. The zig-zagging rocks could also p...

Comparing historical heat extremes with climate simulations has revealed that in parts of the world the models are underestimating how extreme heatwaves are getting

In a study at the University of Twente, researchers discovered a way to scatter light in a special, symmetrical way using nanotechnology. This shows potential for future technologies such as anti-counterfeiting.

Theoretical physicists have established a close connection between the two rapidly developing fields in theoretical physics, quantum information theory and non-invertible symmetries in particle and condensed matter theor...

Since it was first demonstrated in the 1960s, spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) has been at the center of many quantum optics experiments that test the fundamental laws of physics in quantum mechanics, and in...

A team of engineers at the University of Science and Technology of China has developed a new way to code data onto a diamond with higher density than prior methods. In their paper published in the journal Nature Photonic...

Robotic equipment can implant electrodes into cockroaches and connect them to an electronic backpack, making it feasible to mass-produce biorobots for search missions

AI has become uncannily good at aping human conversational capabilities. New research suggests its powers of mimicry go a lot further, making it possible to replicate specific people's personalities. Humans are complicat...

Physicists from the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) have developed an innovative computing system using laser beams and everyday display technology, marking a significant leap forward in the quest for more powerfu...

The pagan Anglo-Saxons copied a gold Roman coin with Christian imagery, but they didn't do a very good job.

A lava stream from a volcanic eruption in West Iceland is brighter than the lights of the city's nearby capital, new infrared images show.

The best bargains as they happen. Great deals from Nikon, Canon, Sony, Celestron and many more.

The Hailin impact crater is a newly-discovered scar in the mountains of Northeast China left behind by a meteor impact, but geologists aren't sure exactly when this happened.

CycloTech's all-electric flying vehicle is capable of controlled descents even in stormy weather with motors similar to those used for tug boats.
