AI has aced medical exams, but there's a wide gap between tests and the real world. A new study suggests the divide is closing. The post An AI Just Beat Doctors at Diagnosing ER Patients appeared first on Singularity...

A new quantum physics study reveals that simply changing a magnetic field over time can unlock entirely new forms of matter that dont exist under normal conditions. By carefully driving materials with timed magnetic shif...

A new study suggests travel could be a surprisingly powerful anti-aging tool. By viewing tourism through the lens of entropy, researchers found that positive travel experiences may help the body stay balanced and resilie...

NASA just uploaded more than 12,000 photos snapped by the Artemis II crew during their record-breaking flyby around the moon. Here are some of the most inspiring ones.

Three people have died and three more have fallen ill on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean, and hantaviruses may be behind the cases.

It is appealing to think something as simple as honey could cure a cold or prevent hay fever, but is there evidence to back up honeys health benefits? Columnist Alice Klein finds that it has legitimate medicinal uses, de...

A long-overlooked writing system from 5000 years ago is still largely undeciphered, but could mark the moment humans first represented their speech with written words

A 500-kilometre-wide object in a similar orbit to Pluto challenges our assumptions about small bodies in the outer solar system

An update to an experiment run by Henry Cavendish in 1773 could be a cheaper and faster way to spot a potential dark matter particle - and may be 10,000 times more sensitive

Magnons are tiny waves in magnetization that travel through solid magnetic materials, much like the ripples that spread across a pond when a stone is thrown into it. Unlike photons, which travel through empty space or op...

Quantum technology has promising potential to revolutionize how large and complex amounts of information are processed. While already in use primarily in laboratory and research settings globally, quantum technologies ar...

A new study suggests a surprisingly simple compound could help fight Alzheimers disease. Researchers found that arginine-an inexpensive amino acid already considered safe-can reduce the buildup of toxic amyloid proteins ...

Stunning clothes from medieval Christian Nubia have been re-created and put on models, whose performance brought onlookers to tears.

A small trial found that chewing gum containing nitrate can ease the symptoms of gum disease by favouring the growth of beneficial mouth bacteria

Greenlands ice sheet is now melting in ways never seen before, with extreme events becoming more frequent, widespread, and intense. Since 1990, meltwater production has skyrocketed, and most record-breaking events have o...

The ornately decorated metal bowl was found as part of a hoard containing dozens of pieces of ancient Roman tableware.

Scientists are using sunlight to turn plastic waste into clean fuels like hydrogen, offering a breakthrough solution to both pollution and energy challenges. While still in development, the approach could transform trash...

For decades, relaxor ferroelectrics have powered everything from medical ultrasounds to sonar systems, yet their inner atomic structure remained a mystery-until now. Researchers have finally mapped their three-dimensiona...

After centuries of mystery, scientists are edging closer to uncovering Leonardo da Vincis biological secrets. A massive 30-year effort has mapped his family across 21 generations, identified living male descendants, and ...

Artemis II proved NASAs deep space systems are ready for the next leap. Orion survived its high-speed return with improved heat shield performance and pinpoint landing accuracy, while the SLS rocket nailed its trajectory...

Voyager 1 just powered down a nearly 50-year-old instrument to stay alive in deep space. The spacecraft is running critically low on energy, forcing NASA to make careful sacrifices to keep its mission going. Despite the ...
