Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity warps light in space. Once thought to exist only on paper, this effect has now been observed experi...

Researchers found that small doses of an antibiotic can coax gut bacteria into producing a life-extending compound. In worms, this led to longer lifespans, while mice showed healthier cholesterol and insulin changes. Bec...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements - and could prove useful in catalysts and more.

A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision-and a powerful way to test Einsteins theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed scientists to measure mult...

Researchers studying nearly 2 million older adults found that cerebral amyloid angiopathy sharply raises the risk of developing dementia. Within five years, people with the condition were far more likely to be diagnosed ...

Despite growing into the largest animals ever to walk on land, sauropods began life small, exposed, and alone. Fossil evidence suggests their babies were frequently eaten by multiple predators, making them a key part of ...

Aerial lidar is transforming how archaeologists map sites, but they should do it in tandem with Indigenous people.

Using a laboratory model of the human nose, scientists have investigated why the severity of common-cold infections varies so widely between individuals.

The Oneisall Pet Air Purifier is true to its word when it promises effective hair, odor and pet allergen removal - a rare quality in appliances under $90.

A new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows the Lupus3 cloud in Scorpius bursting with young stars that are forming within collapsing clouds of gas and dust.

In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated states, such as Wigner crystals, which are essentially solids made of electrons. So far, the Wigner...

When the brain rests, it usually replays recent experiences to strengthen memory. Scientists found that in Alzheimers-like mice, this replay still occurs - but the signals are jumbled and poorly coordinated. As a result,...

Middle age is becoming a tougher chapter for many Americans, especially those born in the 1960s and early 1970s. Compared with earlier generations, they report more loneliness and depression, along with weaker physical s...

The oldest physical boat is a canoe from roughly 10,000 years ago, but evidence suggests humans have been using watercraft for at least 50,000 years.

Old Indian poems and folk songs are revealing a surprising truth about the land. Scientists found that descriptions of thorny trees and open grasslands in texts written as far back as the 1200s closely match todays savan...

Scientists warn that rapid advances in AI and neurotechnology are outpacing our understanding of consciousness, creating serious ethical risks. New research argues that developing scientific tests for awareness could tra...

Dinosaur footprints have always been mysterious, but a new AI app is cracking their secrets. DinoTracker analyzes photos of fossil tracks and predicts which dinosaur made them, with accuracy rivaling human experts. Along...
