Cockroach infestations dont just bring creepy crawlers, they fill homes with allergens and bacterial toxins that can trigger asthma and allergies. NC State researchers found that larger infestations meant higher toxin le...

Getting covid-19 for the first time slightly increased the risk of heart inflammation, blood clots and bleeding disorders among children, whereas being vaccinated against the virus was much safer and sometimes protective...

Researchers have, for the first time, estimated how quickly E. coli bacteria can spread between people - and one strain moves as fast as swine flu. Using genomic data from the UK and Norway, scientists modeled bacterial ...

Once considered geologically impossible, earthquakes in stable regions like Utah and Groningen can actually occur due to long-inactive faults that slowly heal and strengthen over millions of years. When reactivated-often...

Even with futuristic geoengineering methods like Stratospheric Aerosol Injection, the fate of wine, coffee, and cacao crops remains uncertain. Scientists found that while this intervention could slightly cool the planet,...

A bioprinter with a printhead the size of a sesame seed could deliver hydrogels to surgical sites. The post A Tiny 3D Printer Could Mend Vocal Cords in Real Time During Surgery appeared first on SingularityHub.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the genetic architecture of the brains communication bridge-the corpus callosum-using AI and MRI data from over 50,000 people. The study uncovered dozens of genes that shape thi...

Picture this: It's the 18th hole and the game's on the line. You line up your putt, take a breath, and roll the ball toward the hole. The pace is firm, the line looks good-until the ball dips in, then cruelly pop...

Researchers have found 6 million-year-old ice in the Allan Hills region of Antarctica and say the oldest-of-its-kind sample offers an unprecedented view into Earth's ancient climate.

Recent observations of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS show that it has developed a faint blueish hue, hinting at a potential color change. This is the third time experts have seen the comet's coloring shift since i...

Scientists have built one of the most comprehensive single-cell maps of the developing human brain. The new BrainSTEM framework analyzed nearly 680,000 fetal brain cells to chart their growth and interactions, offering a...

In the largest genetic analysis of polycystic ovary syndrome to date, scientists have identified new variants linked to the condition, which could help us treat it more effectively

A theoretical framework predicts the emergence of non-reciprocal interactions that effectively violate Newton's third law in solids using light, report researchers from Japan. They demonstrate that by irradiating lig...

A large-scale brain imaging analysis reveals that our brains can forecast what kinds of messages will go viral. Researchers found that persuasive messages consistently activate brain regions associated with reward, empat...

A giant colonial spiderweb in a sulfuric cave on the border between Greece and Albania may be the largest ever found - and it was built by spiders we didn't know liked the company of others.

Recent outages have revealed how vulnerable the internet is, but there seems to be no official plan in the event of a catastrophic failure. Meet the team of hackers who are ready to jump into action

Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GM-APDs) are highly sensitive light detectors, capable of detecting single photons. Photons of certain wavelengths, when absorbed by photodiodes, generate electron-hole pairs in a proce...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military threats, by harnessing the focusing power of meta-optical systems.

Expectations are low for the UN climate conference in Belém, Brazil, but the hosts pragmatic approach could help make progress on implementation

In this excerpt from "Sink or Swim," author Susannah Fisher explores the future of human migration, and what that will look like based on the difficult choices we make in the coming years.

Having good neighbors can be very valuable-even in the atomic world. A team of Amsterdam physicists was able to determine an important property of strontium atoms, a highly useful element for modern applications in atomi...

A solution to a tricky groundwater riddle from Australia: Researchers at TU Wien have developed numerical models to simulate the movement of fluids in porous materials.
