Extremely rare fossil of an ancient scorpion unearthed at China's Jehol Biota. The scorpion would've been a key species in the Cretaceous ecosystem, scientists say.

Scientists with the company Colossal have created genetically engineered "woolly mice" with thick, golden-brown hair and fat deposits similar to those of cold-adapted woolly mammoths.

Although Navier-Stokes equations are the foundation of modern hydrodynamics, adapting them to quantum systems has so far been a major challenge. Researchers from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, Maciej...

A CDC report has revealed that nine of 68 of children who died of flu this year had brain damage, but it's unclear whether this influenza-associated encephalopathy is on the rise.

PsiQuantum claims to have solved scalability issues that have long plagued photonic approaches. The post Quantum Computing Startup Says It’s Already Making Millions of Light-Powered Chips appeared first on SingularityH...

Deep within certain magnetic molecules, atoms arrange their spins in a spiral pattern, forming structures called chiral helimagnets. These helical spin patterns have intrigued researchers for years due to their potential...

Researchers have developed a high-speed electro-optic switch that is energy-efficient, has low crosstalk and works across a broad bandwidth. Made using a scalable, chip-friendly process, this switch could enhance data ca...

Two experiment collaborations, the g2p and EG4 collaborations, combined their complementary data on the proton's inner structure to improve calculations of a phenomenon in atomic physics known as the hyperfine splitting ...

Explore the wonders of the night sky with our guide to the best celestial sights you can observe with binoculars between February and April 2025.

In the quest for ultra-secure, long-range quantum communication, two major challenges stand in the way: the unpredictable nature of atmospheric turbulence and the limitations of current optical wavefront correction techn...

Discover interesting facts about snakes, from how they hunt and eat, to why they don't have legs.

Can this eco-friendly toothbrush live up to the hype?

Water is an essential part of life on Earth, and possibly elsewhere - and now it we know it may have formed not long after the start of the universe

Specific phobias are out-of-proportion fears to objects, animals or situations, and fortunately, they can be treated.

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our understanding of grav...

We are starting to understand how Greenland sharks can live for centuries without commonly developing tumours

A new study finds that training people to think about specific future events can reduce impulsivity and improve decision-making. Researchers used fMRI scans to show that practicing episodic future thinking increased conn...

Coastal erosion from rising sea levels has led to the collapse of 280 buildings across Alexandria, Egypt, over the past two decades.

A new therapy repairs corneal damage to a patient's eye using stem cells from their other, healthy eye.

We can describe the quantum realm using straightforward mathematics - but once we try to translate these ideas into the real world, things get weird. Our quantum columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan explains why

Colossal Biosciences has altered several genes in mice to make them look more mammoth-like, but the company is far from its goal of fully resurrecting woolly mammoths by 2028
