The vaccine stopped runaway allergic reactions for a year in mice. It could evolve into a blanket therapy for food allergies, from peanuts to shellfish. The post Scientists Just Developed a Lasting Vaccine to Prevent Dea...

Chemists used waste cooking oil to create a sustainable, super-sticky adhesive that's strong enough to hold up hundreds of pounds of weight.

A new study shows that abstinent smokers experience heightened pain sensitivity linked to altered activity in specific brain regions. Compared to nonsmokers, abstinent smokers required more postoperative pain relief-espe...

A new study using advanced deep-learning brain age estimation shows that World Trade Center responders with PTSD exhibit signs of accelerated brain aging. Using BrainAgeNeXt, a model trained on more than 11,000 MRI scans...

The human brain processes spoken language in a step-by-step sequence that closely matches how large language models transform text. Using electrocorticography recordings from people listening to a podcast, researchers fo...

Scientists hunted dark matter and solar neutrinos with one of the largest experiments yet. While the neutrinos likely appeared, dark matter results couldn't be confirmed.

Quantum technologies from ultrasensitive sensors to next-generation information processors depend on the ability of quantum bits, or qubits, to maintain their delicate quantum states for a sufficiently long time to be us...

Screen time has been linked to all sorts of problems, from depression and obesity to poor sleep. But how worried should you really be? Jacob Aron sifts through the evidence

Young children exposed to unusually high temperatures are less likely to reach basic developmental milestones in literacy and numeracy. Analyzing data from over 19,000 children across multiple countries, the study found ...

For numerous fundamental processes of life, the formation of certain protein patterns is essential. Protein pattern formation controlled by molecular switches is-like many processes in nature-far removed from a state of ...

For decades, nuclear physicists believed that "Islands of Inversion"-regions where the normal rules of nuclear structure suddenly break down-were found mostly in neutron-rich isotopes. In these unusual pockets of...

Children regularly exposed to temperatures over 30C (86F) have lower scores on literacy and numeracy tests at age 3 to 4, according to UNICEF data from six countries

Monday, Dec. 8, 2025: Your daily feed of the biggest discoveries and breakthroughs making headlines.

Reliably quantifying and characterizing the quantum states of various systems is highly advantageous for both quantum physics research and the development of quantum technologies. Quantifying these states typically entai...

A remarkably clean gravitational-wave detection has confirmed long-standing predictions about black holes, including Hawkings area theorem and Einsteins ringdown behavior. The findings also provide the strongest support ...

Deep-brain recordings showed that Mounjaro and Zepbound briefly shut down the craving circuits linked to food noise in a patient with severe obesity. Her obsessive thoughts about food disappeared as the medication quiete...

Integrated circuits are the brains behind modern electronic devices like computers or smart phones. Traditionally, these circuits-also known as chips-rely on electricity to process data. In recent years, scientists have ...

The Ash Pendant was discovered in a Viking Age burial mound in Sweden and may have been used by a female shaman.

Researchers revealed that the microbial metabolite TMA can directly block the immune protein IRAK4, reducing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity. The molecule counteracts damage caused by high-fat diets and ev...

When a gas is highly energized, its electrons get torn from the parent atoms, resulting in a plasma-the oft-forgotten fourth state of matter (along with solid, liquid, and gas). When we think of plasmas, we normally thin...

Scientists at the Max Born Institute have developed a new soft X-ray instrument that can reveal dynamics of magnetic domains on nanometer length and picosecond time scales. By bringing capabilities once exclusive to X-ra...

The idea that we might be living in a simulated reality has worried us for centuries. Now physicists have found some tantalising clues - and devised an experiment that might reveal the truth
