Alzheimers isnt just one problem-its a tangled mix of biology, aging, and overall health. Thats why drugs targeting a single factor have fallen short, even as new treatments show modest benefits. Scientists are now pushi...

A new chip design from UC San Diego could make data centers far more energy-efficient by rethinking how power is converted for GPUs. By combining vibrating piezoelectric components with a clever circuit layout, the syste...

A mysterious glow of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way has long hinted at dark matter, but the lack of similar signals in smaller dwarf galaxies has cast doubt on that idea. Now, researchers propose a bold twist:...

Some cats will suddenly refuse to touch brands of cat food that they have eaten for years. Changing the way the food smells might solve the problem

Researchers discovered that Kinesin-2 motors form specialized subtypes to transport specific proteins. This precise "delivery service" is essential for maintaining neuron structure and preventing neurological dis...

A new brain-inspired AI framework mimics human development by "pruning" redundant connections as it learns. The model becomes more compact and energy-efficient while mastering increasingly complex perception and ...

A handful of plankton fossils buried in a small chunk of rock show that the oceans were teeming with life before the Late Ordovician mass extinction, the second most severe on record

A landmark study establishes the first international consensus on mental wellbeing. Researchers identified six essential factors-including autonomy and connection-that define what it means to be truly "well."

It's a step change in cybersecurity. Exploits that would take experts weeks to develop can now be generated in hours. The post Anthropics Mythos AI Uncovered Serious Security Holes in Every Major OS and Browser appea...

Researchers used bioluminescent proteins to discover that a mother sets her babys biological clock in utero via glucocorticoid hormones, creating daily rhythms before birth.

Researchers mapped the entire nervous system of a worm to show how it plans turns to find smells. The study reveals a 10-neuron sequence coordinated by the chemical tyramine.

A new study introduces AI-based "neural network" controllers that stabilize renewable energy grids. By mimicking human brain processing, the AI reduces the need for physical sensors and improves grid resilience.

Working in secret for more than two years, a group of mathematicians has set out to resolve of the longest and most bitter battles in modern mathematics

Researchers have identified a specific group of neurons where spatial memory and emotional drive converge. This "crosstalk" in the nucleus accumbens explains how our brain links location to reward.

As Earth reels at the beauty of Artemis II's historic lunar flyby photos, geologists working on the mission are excited for big insights about the moon.

A new study finds that a baby's epigenome at birth shapes their gut microbiome development. Crucially, certain "good" bacteria can mitigate genetic risks for ASD and ADHD by age three.

Perry Samson was helping students conduct field experiments on supercell storms in Kansas in 2008 when one suddenly turned into a tornado and dragged him in.

Researchers from the Monash University School of Physics and Astronomy have flipped a long-held assumption in optics, showing that deliberately introducing controlled disorder into ultra-thin optical devices can dramatic...

Three orcas from Alaska surfaced in the waters between Washington state and Canada in March, an area where they've never been documented.

A new type of radiofrequency trap can capture particles with extremely different requirements and could theoretically hold both types of particles at the same time. Researchers in the group of Professor Dmitry Budker fro...

Scientists discovered that making a very small change to female mice's DNA caused them to develop male reproductive organs.

Physicists have shown how time can effectively be reversed for some quantum systems, which would allow for new ways to harvest energy
