New research reveals that exercise counteracts the mood-damaging effects of a Western-style diet through specific gut and hormonal mechanisms. Running restored metabolites tied to mental well-being and balanced key hormo...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have charted billions of years of galactic evolution, finding that galaxies near the dawn of time were much more chaotic than they are today.

A powerful new drug combination-niraparib added to standard prostate cancer therapy-has been shown to significantly delay disease progression in men with specific DNA repair gene mutations. In the large AMPLITUDE trial, ...

An exclusive New Scientist survey of leading scientists reveals widespread concern that schemes to tweak Earths atmosphere could launch within decades in a risky bid to cool the planet

A new study reveals that auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia may arise when the brain fails to recognize its own inner voice as self-generated. Normally, the brain predicts the sound of ones inner speech and dampens...

Of the 38 patients with age-related macular degeneration, 80% were able to read again after having the eye implant and using the glasses.

Scientists are asking the public to share their most vivid memories to uncover why some moments feel as fresh as the day they happened. The project blends cognitive neuroscience with literature, examining how vivid memor...

Chinese robotics startup Unitree has shown off its latest humanoid robot, the H2 "Destiny Awakening" - and it's eerily lifelike.

Confining and rotating extremely cold atoms or molecules within atomic Ferris wheels made from laser light could test relativitys predictions on the quantum scale

A man found a Roman-era hoard in Germany dating to around 2,000 years ago, but he took eight years to tell authorities about it.

A new study hints that age-related changes in our brains may explain why time feels like it's slipping away faster with every passing year.

An astrophotographer snapped a stunning shot of Comet Lemmon's flowing tail getting shredded by a strong gust of solar wind, just three days before it reaches its closest point to Earth.

Touch can strengthen bonds and calm stress, but not all affection is sincere. A new study reveals that people with dark triad traits-narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism-often use physical touch to control or ma...

In a first, researchers have discovered fragments of Earth's precursor that contain distinctive chemical fingerprints in ancient rocks from Greenland, Canada and Hawaii.

People who use both cannabis and tobacco show unique brain chemistry linked to higher anxiety, depression, and difficulty quitting. Brain scans revealed increased levels of FAAH, an enzyme that breaks down the brains bli...

Imagine a cloud that shines like a neon sign, but instead of raindrops, it contains countless microscopic dust grains floating in midair. This is a dusty plasma, a bizarre state of matter found both in deep space and in ...

Bacterial nanowires and memristors combine in artificial neurons that can control living cells. The post Unprecedented Artificial Neurons Are Part Biological, Part Electrical-Work More Like the Real Thing appeared first ...

Mizzou scientists are exploring how a ketogenic diet may protect the brain and prevent Alzheimers in people genetically predisposed to it. Their study found that female mice with the APOE4 gene benefited most, showing im...

Scientists from the University of Exeter has developed a precise method to interpret ankle blood pressure readings-an innovation that could transform care for people unable to have their arm blood pressure measured. By a...

Researchers have found that 2D materials can self-form microscopic cavities that trap light and electrons, altering their quantum behavior. With a miniaturized terahertz spectroscope, the team observed standing light-mat...

Researchers developed an experimental method for confirming quantum activity in a quantum computing system.

Menopause brings profound shifts not just in hormones but in the very structure of the brain. Scientists have found that gray matter in regions tied to memory and thinking can shrink, while white matter may show damage l...
