In two encounters in the Gulf of California, one orca held a dead sunfish in place while another rammed it at high speed, breaking the carcass into what appear to be bite-sized pieces for younger whales.

A large study suggests that GLP-1 drugs including Ozempic and Mounjaro may slightly increase the risk of hair loss in people with type 2 diabetes. Compared with two other common classes of diabetes medications, GLP-1 use...

Fossils discovered in Japan more than two decades ago have finally been identified as a new genus and species of giant salamander. Limnospondylus ajimuensis lived around 3.5 million years ago in a warmer, wetter Kyushu a...

Researchers found that elevated acid ceramidase in senescent cells increases their susceptibility to ferroptosis and transfers this vulnerability to adjacent tissue.

The incident is a first and signals a seismic shift in cybersecurity. The post OpenAI Agent Breaks Free and Hacks Hugging Face appeared first on SingularityHub.

A new study introduces FlatMux, a two-photon voltage imaging platform that records electrical signals from nearly 200 neurons at up to 2,000 frames per second.

A new study shows that 3D genome architecture is altered in prefrontal cortex cells of individuals with Alzheimer's disease.

Fusion at high temperatures powers the sun and, if harnessed, could provide a potential source of energy here on Earth. But controlling fusion reactions has other benefits. The process also generates subatomic particles ...

A new study reveals that the human brain undergoes major shifts in 3D genome architecture and gene regulation starting in midlife.

Animals and electronic devices aren't the only things with memory. Materials can retain memories of past deformations in their microscopic structure. A common example is a crease in a sheet of paper that has been fol...

Asingle dose of the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin rapidly reverses autism-like behaviors and abnormal brain connectivity in adult mice exposed to maternal inflammation during development.

Efficient heat management in solids is key to advancing the next generation of electronics. However, wave-like heat movement-known as phonon focusing-had been observed only at extremely low, or cryogenic, temperatures, l...

A new study highlights "gut jet lag", the desynchronization between host biological clocks and gut microbiota rhythms during long-haul travel.

Using high-density ECoG and transfer entropy, the team discovered "informational tuning," where information selectively moves along the path of cortical traveling waves.

What if the Higgs boson found in 2012 is not alone but is the only sibling we have encountered so far? Scientists at CERN discovered the particle that year, and it was a major discovery because it explained how other par...

Exceptional points, or EPs for short, are among the phenomena of modern physics. These are special points or locations at which the properties of matter, space or time change. In a new theoretical study, researchers from...

For the second time in a week, a long-standing conjecture has been disproved by artificial intelligence, highlighting the advanced mathematical capabilities of ChatGPT and its ilk

Haivya has developed acoustic signals designed to influence plant development, and its trials reportedly show large yield increases in soybean, pepper and cannabis crops

As U.S. federal research budgets continue to be slashed, a team of marmot researchers have turned to unconventional sources of funding.

Sending quantum information through a chain of qubits, like energy through a Newton's cradle, could be the key to faster operations and take quantum computing to the next level.

Archaeologists found a Roman military camp in Slovakia with unusual burials of soldiers who likely fought in Marcus Aurelius' Marcomannic Wars.

Mathematicians who helped unify laws of physics and cracked decades-old problems in geometry are among this year's recipients of the Fields medal
