Miniature antibodies from camels and llamas can slip into the brain more easily than conventional drugs, offering a new way to treat disorders like Alzheimers and schizophrenia. Researchers say these nanobodies could res...

The new digital map increases the Roman road network by nearly 100%.

Scientists have discovered a surprising benefit of the acne drug doxycycline: it may lower the risk of schizophrenia. Teens prescribed the antibiotic were about one-third less likely to develop the condition as adults. T...

The technology unleashes self-replicating viruses called phages on food bacteria to continuously hunt down and destroy bad bugs. The post Scientists Unveil a Living Vaccine That Kills Bad Bacteria in Food to Make It Last...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown hook-like domain in the tail of the kinesin-2 motor protein that explains how these molecular machines select the right cargo inside cells. Using cryo-electron microscopy ...

A week-long retreat combining meditation and mind-body healing produced significant changes in brain activity and blood biology, demonstrating how consciousness-based practices can transform physical health. Participants...

Scientists have created an advanced visual neuroprosthesis that communicates bidirectionally with the brain, marking one of the biggest steps yet toward restoring functional vision. Unlike earlier devices, this closed-lo...

Jacob, an 11-year-old lion, has defied expectations by surviving for years after losing a leg - now we know his success is down to an innovative hunting strategy

The moon's oddly skewed dust cloud may be caused by an extreme day-night temperature difference, a new study suggests.

Researchers have been developing computers that deploy light (photons) rather than electricity to power storage and calculations. These light-based computers have the potential to be more energy efficient than traditiona...

Archaeologists have compiled the most detailed map yet of roads throughout the Roman Empire in AD 150, totalling almost 300,000 kilometres in length

Earth may be on the verge of crossing several climate change tipping points that could have irreversible and devastating consequences. Here's everything you need to know about these "points of no return."

A small spotting scope that promises big things.

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a circuit. While we can't see these electrons, electric currents moving through a conductor flow...

Quantum computers are powerful, lightning-fast and notoriously difficult to connect to one another over long distances.

Save up to a huge $1,000 on all Unistellar telescopes and accessories this November in their Black Friday deal - just in time for dark sky season.

Superconductors are like the express trains in a metro system. Any electricity that "boards" a superconducting material can zip through it without stopping and losing energy along the way. As such, superconductor...

For the first time, a quantum computer has successfully measured pairing correlations (quantum signals that show electrons teaming up in pairs), which is essential to helping scientists find one of the holy grails of phy...

Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, have developed an organic infrared photodiode that achieves record-level sensitivity in devices that are ultrathin and ready to be integrated into different applications. ...

Lasers that emit extremely short light pulses are highly precise and are used in manufacturing, medical applications, and research. The problem: efficient short-pulse lasers require a lot of space and are expensive.

Scientists have built a 98-qubit machine that they say performs better than any other quantum computer in the world. They've used it to gain new insights into superconducting physics.

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has successfully demonstrated entanglement swapping (one of the key quantum communication protocols) using sum-frequency generation (SFG) between...
