A new report authored by California health officials describes a raw-milk-related outbreak of Salmonella that sickened dozens in 2023 and 2024.

Having someone in your life who hassles you or causes problems could be adding 2.5 months to your biological age

The wearable translates subtle muscle movements into pinches, swipes, and writing. The post Meta's Smart Wristband Can Control Devices Like Tom Cruise in ‘Minority Report’ appeared first on SingularityHub.

A new philosophical theory proposes that the meaning of life isn't something static, but something we feel out as we move through life with different emotional stances. Dubbed the "Geographic Model of Meaning in Life," t...

A new study reveals that even after healing, injuries can leave behind a hypersensitive nervous system that overreacts to future stress. Mice previously injured showed intense fear and renewed pain when exposed to a pred...

Captured in infrared light by the James Webb Space Telescope, the peculiar star system Apep consists of two dying stars spewing their innards at each other.

It has been claimed Neanderthals ate a huge amount of meat based on isotope ratios in their bones - but the explanation could instead be a diet rich in maggots

Rising temperatures are causing water to evaporate and driving humans to extract more groundwater, which is moving freshwater from the land to the seas and creating a "continental drying" trend

Alzheimer's disease is marked by toxic amyloid-beta protein clumps, but some people seem naturally protected. A new study reveals that a receptor called ADGRG1 enables immune cells called microglia to effectively clear t...

Complex organic molecules found floating around a distant protostar could mean that space is far richer in life's precursors than scientists assumed.

In a proof-of-concept study, scientists have shown that flossing your teeth could be a way to deliver vaccinations that protect you against viruses.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is tough on electronics. Situated inside a 17-mile-long tunnel that runs in a circle under the border between Switzerland and France, this massive scientific instrument accelerates particl...

A new study has uncovered how the brain efficiently encodes and recalls visual memories--by organizing them into categories and using the precise timing of neuronal activity.

Record heat in 2024 caused ecosystems on land to emit nearly as much carbon dioxide as they took out of the atmosphere

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have discovered a new state of quantum matter. The state exists within a material that the team reports could lead to a new era of self-charging computers and ones capa...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Paradoxically, his theory of relativity has become an essential tool for understanding the behavior...

Summary: While grief is a natural part of loss, some people experience persistently high levels that can have long-term health consequences. A decade-long study in Denmark found that individuals with intense, prolonged g...

One of ANSTO's advanced imaging instruments Dingo now delivers a rare fusion of simulation and radiobiology, becoming a launchpad for an innovative neutron therapy innovation.

Stars uncontaminated by heavier elements are thought to have formed very early in the universe, but a galaxy much later in cosmic history might let us see them for the first time

RIKEN physicists have found a magnetic material that converts heat into electricity with high efficiency, making it promising for use in energy-harvesting devices. The work is published in the journal Nature Communicatio...

Topological materials are a class of materials that exhibit unique electronic properties at their boundary (surface in 3D materials; edge in 2D materials) that are robust against imperfections or disturbances and are mar...

More advanced AI systems show a better capacity to scheme and lie to us, and they know when they're being watched -- so they change their behavior to hide their deceptions.
