New research reveals that Type 2 diabetes may impair the brain's reward and memory processing in ways that mirror early Alzheimer's disease. The study focuses on the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a brain region respon...

Superconductivity is a quantum physical state in which a metal is able to conduct electricity perfectly without any resistance. In its most familiar application, it enables powerful magnets in MRI machines to create the ...

A budget smartwatch with a lightweight and stylish design that's let down by clumsy navigation and poor battery life.

The liver performed basic functions but isn't yet a full replacement. The post Scientists Just Transplanted a Pig Liver Into a Person for the First Time appeared first on SingularityHub.

Photonic circuits, which manipulate light to perform various computational tasks, have become essential tools for a range of advanced technologies--from quantum simulations to artificial intelligence. These circuits offe...

An ancient and enormous organism called Prototaxites, initially found to be a type of fungus, may actually be an unknown branch of life, researchers say.

The strange sight is actually two galaxies, with the light of the second warped around the one at the front as a result of its massive gravity.

Red specks in the early universe are puzzling astronomers, but a proposed explanation suggests they are the progenitors of supermassive black holes

A rare sunrise solar eclipse will be visible from 13 U.S. states on Saturday (March 29), as well as locations in Canada and Europe. Here's how to watch for free online, no matter where you are.

Together with an international team of researchers from the Universities of Southern California, Central Florida, Pennsylvania State and Saint Louis, physicists from the University of Rostock have developed a novel mecha...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye disorder. But more work is needed to translate the treatment to people.

Researchers have discovered a way to protect quantum information from environmental disruptions, offering hope for more reliable future technologies.

Archaeologists are unsure why unrelated teenagers were buried in an elaborate Bronze Age tomb but think their age may be a clue.

Photosynthesising microbes in soil may increase their activity as temperatures rise, offsetting some of the carbon emissions expected to be released from peatland and permafrost

This mirrorless camera is an absolute beast, with a massive 61MP resolution, AI-powered autofocus and 8K video shooting -- but is the Sony A7R V still worth buying in 2025?

The James Webb Space Telescope has successfully detected auroras on Neptune for the first time ever, finishing a job that NASA's Voyager 2 probe began decades ago.

A large study of over 14,000 Norwegian veterans reveals that taking a life in combat doesn't automatically damage a soldier's mental health--context matters. Veterans from Afghanistan, where combat was expected and rules...

Accurate and robust 3D imaging of specular, or mirror-like, surfaces is crucial in fields such as industrial inspection, medical imaging, virtual reality, and cultural heritage preservation. Yet anyone who has visited a ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that terahertz imaging can be used to visualize internal details of the mouse cochlea with micron-level spatial resolution. The non-invasive method could open new possibilities ...

A new study reveals that long-term high-fat diets reduce pleasure from eating by lowering neurotensin, a brain peptide that boosts dopamine response.

In a new survey, 76% of scientists said that scaling large language models was "unlikely" or "very unlikely" to achieve AGI.

After nearly 36 years of searching, astronomers have finally confirmed Neptune has auroras, thanks to data from the James Webb Space Telescope
