A research team led by Prof. Zhang Ze from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a hyper-sampling imaging (HSI) technology that enhances the image quality and...

A large international replication study challenges the belief that morality is innate in infants. Testing over 1,000 children aged 5.5 to 10.5 months, researchers found no consistent preference for characters exhibiting ...

Researchers identified specific plant compounds that provide antioxidant and neuroprotective effects, contributing to brain health beyond basic nutrition. By analyzing plant-based foods like lemon balm, sage, and elderbe...

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unknown phenomenon that could improve the way we design materials at the molecular level. By unlocking a transformation between two types of structural defects on the surf...

Skin conductance offers a promising new way to measure emotional states, bypassing the limitations of facial recognition. In an experiment, volunteers watched videos evoking fear, humor, and family bonding while their sk...

Individual differences in gut physiology and environment play a major role in shaping our gut microbiome and how we process food. Using a smart capsule to measure pH, temperature, and pressure, researchers found signific...

A favorite among nature enthusiasts, the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50 is reduced at Amazon for Cyber Monday -- but you'll need to be quick to avoid missing out!

Ketone bodies, known for their role in energy metabolism during fasting, have been shown to directly interact with damaged proteins in the brain, aiding their clearance through autophagy. Researchers discovered that the ...

Researchers have named a new species in the Homo genus. What do we know about these "big headed" people?

Covid-19 emerged in 2019, but some questions are still unanswered as to its origins

In the effort to develop new quantum technologies of the future, scientists are pursuing several different approaches. One avenue seeks to use molecules as the fundamental building blocks of quantum technologies.

A team experimentally observed higher-order and fractional discrete time crystals (DTCs) in periodically driven Rydberg atomic dissipative systems. Their study was published in Nature Communications. The team was led by ...

Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface atoms with atomic-scale precision. This once sci-fi scenario is now a reality thanks to pioneering research published in Applied...

Alcohol not only raises pain tolerance but also amplifies aggression, according to a new study. Researchers found that participants who drank alcohol had higher pain thresholds and were more willing to inflict painful sh...

Users of the healthcare app Alan whose queries were answered by a medical AI reported high satisfaction levels, but one exchange included "potentially dangerous inaccuracies"

A new study links visceral fat, a deep layer of abdominal fat, to increased brain amyloid and tau proteins--key markers of Alzheimer's disease--decades before dementia symptoms arise. Researchers found that visceral fat ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have a new way to use data from high-energy particle smashups to peer inside protons. Their approach uses quantum infor...

The Dell Inspiron 16 Plus, fitted with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU and the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, can be yours for $1,100 this Cyber Monday.

A new study challenges the long-held belief that axons, brain cell extensions, are tube-like, revealing instead a "pearl-on-a-string" structure. Using advanced freezing electron microscopy, researchers found these bead-l...

High harmonic generation (HHG) is a highly non-linear phenomenon where a system (for example, an atom) absorbs many photons of a laser and emits photons of much higher energy, whose frequency is a harmonic (that is, a mu...

Researchers have identified the lateral hypothalamus (LH) as a key brain region for walking recovery in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, demonstrating that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can significantly enhance mobilit...

Plate tectonics seems to be crucial for life on Earth, but we've never confirmed that it happens on other worlds - that may be about to change
