A team of researchers led by Felipe Herrera, a professor at the University of Santiago and a researcher at the Millennium Institute for Research in Optics (MIRO), has identified a quantum phenomenon that enables chemical...

A centimeter-sized crystal has revealed clear signs of quantum entanglement, showing that large, everyday objects can display surprisingly deep quantum behavior. The discovery could help solve the mystery of strange meta...

Experts have identified the gravestone of Boston, a free Black man who died in 1729.

Few people have invented an algorithm with the potential to spark a worldwide crisis, so why is quantum computing pioneer Peter Shor so unconcerned? Karmela Padavic-Callaghanspoke to him to find out

Explaining the passage of time has been a gnarly problem in physics basically forever, but physicist and computer scientist Stephen Wolfram has a radical proposal for where it comes from. He discussed his ideas on time -...

A new study demonstrates that adverse childhood experiences impair adult romantic relationship quality by disrupting daily communication and conflict management.

A new study introduces an AI-driven framework that unmasks previously invisible gray matter cortical lesions in multiple sclerosis using legacy MRI scans.

A new study demonstrates that preconception trauma carries a heavy transgenerational psychiatric burden. By tracking decades of health registry data from over 30,000 individuals, the team unmasked that children born to m...

Bumblebees are picking up dramatically more toxic heavy metals than honeybees, even when both species forage in the same places. Researchers warn that this hidden pollution could quietly reduce their ability to find food...

Around 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, an infant suffered severe injuries in what might be the Middle East's earliest documented case of child abuse.

By tracing 40 cases of lesional OCD against the human connectome, the team isolated four core hubs, the orbitofrontal cortex and basal ganglia bilaterally, providing a highly accurate network target for precision rTMS th...

Some 40 years ago, physicists noticed certain metals were conducting electricity in a bizarre way no one could explain. New answers to how and why this happens are forcing us to question how electricity flows

Researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed the first magnetic multipole-based micromagnetic model for antiferromagnets. Published in Applied Physics...

By ignoring part of his own experiment, a physicist coaxed time to emerge from within a closed quantum system.

Shortening nightly sleep by approximately 80 minutes for six weeks causes an average weight gain of one pound and increases daily sedentary time by 17 minutes (nearly 30 minutes for men and postmenopausal women).

By leveraging ankyrin-2 (Ank2) to regulate BDNF/TrkB.T1 calcium signaling, astrocytes undergo structural remodeling to physically encapsulate and stabilize memory-storing engram neurons, a mechanism validated through a n...

A new study demonstrates that while infants process musical structures within the first months of life, spontaneous music-driven movement emerges only around 12 months of age.

A team of scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Cleveland Clinic and IBM has calculated nine molecular configurations of a promising material to produce fuel for fusion energy-the first known instance of such co...

Archaeologists have excavated a royal burial ground of the Piceni, a mysterious pre-Roman civilization in Italy that is not well-known historically.

Almost half of the takeaway meals tested contained more salt than advertised, with some dishes delivering nearly twice the recommended daily limit in a single serving. Surprisingly, classic fish and chips ranked among th...

A collection of newfound objects discovered by the Euclid telescope more than doubles the number of known quasars from the universe's first billion years.

A new study uses fMRI data from over 700 people to identify 17 new language-processing regions outside the brain's core canonical network.
