Nuclear theorists at Brookhaven National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory have successfully employed a new theoretical approach to calculate the Collins-Soper kernel, a quantity that describes how the distribut...

An international research team has developed a new technology that helps to improve the accuracy of radar applications and LiDAR systems. Among its possible uses, it could contribute to implementing autonomous cars and o...

Scientists have developed the first electrically pumped continuous-wave semiconductor laser composed exclusively of elements from the fourth group of the periodic table--the "silicon group."

Researchers have uncovered a groundbreaking mechanism called Electro-Calcium (E-Ca) coupling that integrates electrical and calcium signaling in brain capillaries. This process ensures precise blood flow delivery to acti...

A small statue of a woman wearing a royal crown may depict Cleopatra VII, an archaeologist claims. Other archaeologists think it is likely someone else.

About 100 years ago, humanity learned to see with the help of electrons. In 1924, Louis de Broglie posited that--like light particles--electrons have wave properties. In 1927, the U.S. physicists Davisson and Germer prov...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking technique to "write" new learning patterns directly into the brain using real-time neurofeedback from fMRI imaging. Participants in the study learned new visual object categori...

A new study by Rice University physicist Qimiao Si unravels the enigmatic behaviors of quantum critical metals--materials that defy conventional physics at low temperatures. Published in Nature Physics Dec. 9, the resear...

Quantum error correction that suppresses errors below a critical threshold needed for achieving future practical quantum computing applications is demonstrated on the newest generation quantum chips from Google Quantum A...

Overheating in electronic devices affects how it works and how long it lasts. One of the major challenges is efficiently managing the heat generated by these systems during operation, which involves controlling the therm...

Researchers have identified a natural substance, hederagenin, that blocks the NPFFR1 receptor, a protein involved in pain perception in the brain and spinal cord. NPFFR1 has long been a challenging target due to its simi...

New research challenges stereotypes about older adults, revealing that they are more willing to take risks than younger individuals and are equally adept at resisting manipulation. Using gambling tasks, researchers found...

Glioblastoma organoids, lab-grown replicas of a patient's tumor, accurately predict how the tumor responds to CAR T cell therapy. This breakthrough allows real-time testing of therapies, showing that responses in the org...

The research details the elaborate process used to manufacture the Nebra Sky Disc during the Bronze Age.

Children with autism exhibit distinct eye movement patterns when viewing faces, particularly in the initial stages of visual processing. A new study found that autistic children are more likely to use an exploratory eye ...

A new study claims to have identified 13 proteins associated with either accelerated or decelerated brain aging. However, experts have questioned the practical implications of the findings.

New research reveals that fetuses can mount immune responses against infections long before birth, challenging the assumption that they rely solely on maternal immunity. A study on Zika virus infections found that immune...

Chronic pain, affecting millions worldwide, may be alleviated by adopting a healthy diet, according to new research. A new study found that eating more vegetables, fruits, grains, lean proteins, and dairy was linked to l...

The death of at least 56 people in a stampede at a soccer stadium in Nzérékoré, Guinea, is the latest example of how quickly mass gatherings can turn catastrophic.

A team of researchers from the University of Cologne, Hasselt University (Belgium) and the University of St Andrews (Scotland) has succeeded in using the quantum mechanical principle of strong light-matter coupling for a...

Science often surprises us with its ability to connect seemingly unrelated phenomena. Have you ever stopped to marvel at how nature arranges itself into intricate patterns, like the spirals of a sunflower or the crystals...

Over one-third of Americans aged 50 to 80 continue to experience loneliness, and nearly as many feel socially isolated, even as rates return to pre-pandemic levels. Older adults with poor physical or mental health, lower...
