With potential safety improvements and lower manufacturing costs, Na-ion batteries are coming of age at precisely the right time

The "city killer" asteroid 2024 YR4 won't hit Earth or the moon when it whizzes by in 2032, the latest James Webb Space Telescope observations confirm.

Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune systems killer T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed genetic atlas of CD8 T c...

Aging from the inside out. Scientists find that teens who frequently lash out at others show signs of faster physical aging by the time they reach 30.

An experimental treatment reduces seizures and other symptoms in children with a type of epilepsy called Dravet syndrome.

New research reveals that as you master a skill, your brain cells stop working in isolation and start acting as a highly coordinated team.

A new study shows that as humpback whale populations recover from past whaling, older males are gaining a major advantage in reproduction. Early in the recovery, breeding groups were dominated by younger whales. But as m...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, the team mapped the ...

Scientists discover that people with compulsive traits rely on repetitive behaviors because they feel less certain about how their future actions will play out.

Spexi's crowdsourced drone fleet has mapped over 5 million acres in 200 cities around Canada and the US. The post Thousands of Everyday Drone Pilots Are Making a Google Street View From Above appeared first on Singul...

Scientists identify the biological "signatures" that explain why some people experience brain fog and memory loss after viral infections.

A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around the loop four times to return to your starting position

A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a novel framework for monitoring structural vibrations using diffractive optical processors. This new technology uses artificial in...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brains physical properties help shape those signals. Scientists discovered that tissue stiffness can trigger the production of ...

New research shows that your brain reactivates memories even when you can't recall them, suggesting a "rhythmic pulse" is the key to conscious awareness.

Lightning formation and the conditions triggering it have long been shrouded in a cloud of mystery, but new research led by Penn State scientists is lifting the fog. Using mathematical calculations, the researchers have ...

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any previously known-one w...

New research reveals that specialized brain cells called tanycytes are responsible for clearing toxic Alzheimers proteins-and when they fail, the disease takes hold.

The tiny bots follow patterns of light and "artificial space-time," navigating like craft following the curved space around a black hole.

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it's more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To improve current...

A 12th-century sword spotted jutting out of the seabed in Israel was designed for one-handed combat during the Crusades.

New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, challenges conventional understanding about controlling heat flow ...
