Researchers found that adults experiencing significant financial decline suffered memory loss equivalent to an additional five months of aging every year.

Aging men often lose the Y chromosome in a growing number of their cells-and it may be far more dangerous than once believed. This loss has been linked to heart disease, cancer, Alzheimers, and shorter lifespans. Researc...

A study of over 9,000 dogs found that Cockapoos, Cavapoos, and Labradoodles frequently display more aggression, fear, and excitability than the purebreds used to create them.

A new study reveals that the enzyme Glutamine Synthetase (GS) is the "master architect" of postnatal brain wiring.

For more than a century, condensed matter physics has grappled with one of its greatest unsolved challenges: how to build superconductors that operate at room temperature and transmit electricity with no loss. Now, in a ...

Researchers discover that the enzyme RNASEK slows aging and extends lifespan by clearing out "toxic" circular RNA that accumulates in cells over time.

Astronomers have found a 710-metre-wide asteroid that spins once every 1.9 minutes, so fast that it should have spun itself apart

People with Type 1 diabetes are 3 times more likely to develop dementia than those without-a risk factor significantly higher than Type 2 diabetes.

A pig's brain has been frozen with its cellular activity locked in place and minimal damage. Some believe the same could be done with the brains of people with a terminal illness, so their mind can be reconstructed a...

A series of leaks means the coming launch window will be NASA's final attempt to meet its April mission deadline.

Scientists at the University of Warwick and University of Exeter have developed a fully fiber-coupled terahertz (THz) imaging system that significantly improves the speed, resolution, and clinical practicality of teraher...

Its in the wiring. A massive study reveals that the genetic risk for addiction is mostly shared across all substances and linked to the brains "impulse control" center.

Today's sea level rise is significant enough to slow the rotation of the planet by just over a millisecond per century.

Apophis will be visited by multiple spacecraft - including landers - when it skims past Earth in three years

Researchers discover that the brain's "internal compass" remains stable for months, acting as a permanent anchor for memories even as the hippocampus reorganizes.

RFK Jr.'s cutbacks may leave us near-defenseless against HIV spread, but moments in the past show how we can stop the seemingly inevitable.

There's plenty of hand-waving around AGI. DeepMind hopes to change that with a new, more rigorous approach. The post Google DeepMind Plans to Track AGI Progress With These 10 Traits of General Intelligence appeared f...

In new research published in Physical Review X, scientists have designed quantum control protocols that generate processes more consistent with time flowing backward than forward. The protocols-techniques to control quan...

Flying cars have been on the cusp of a breakthrough for a while, so what's stopping them from taking to the skies?

The ALICE Collaboration takes a step further in addressing the question of whether a quark-gluon plasma can be formed in proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions. In the first few microseconds after the Big Bang, the ...

Archaeologists have unearthed a Celtic cemetery in France that holds 18 unusual seated burials.
