Scientists have generated quantum entanglement directly from sunlight, potentially offering a lower-energy alternative to the lasers normally used in quantum technology. Their outdoor experiment produced entangled photon...

Teens who start using cannabis may experience slower growth in memory, attention, language, and processing speed. Their abilities often developed normally at first, then began leveling off while nonusers continued improv...

A new study shows how exercise releases muscle-derived "exerkines" that protect dopamine neurons and counter sarcopenia in Parkinson's disease.

Researchers uses The Virtual Brain to show how regional acetylcholine receptor density shapes whole-brain activity and localized sleep waves.

Early-life stress elevates the enzyme SETD7 in dopamine neurons, uncoiling DNA and creating a physical scar that heightens adult stress vulnerability.

A new study demonstrates that human overconfidence persists because its decision-making costs make it a credible, peacock-like evolutionary signal of underlying ability.

For the first time, researchers have determined the shape of the actinide nucleus of fermium-255 and measured its structure with high precision and resolution.

Using light to process quantum information is one of the most promising approaches to building future quantum computers. Light particles, known as photons, are excellent carriers of quantum information, but their lack of...

In Goethe's ballad "Erlkönig," immortalized in Schubert's fevered 1815 setting, a dying boy riding through the night sees a spectral king beckoning from the darkness. His father calms him: "Mein Sohn...

Scientists in China predict that stacking two microscopic layers of boron could set a new record for superconductivity. Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with zero resistance. Traditional types need ...

Today's AI is neither able to improve itself recursively nor is it intelligent like us. Between prompts it remains a static mathematical object. The post Sam Altman Says Were in the Singularity With AI. Heres Why Hes...

A bacteria-derived "postbiotic" may help restore the aging uterus, but experts say it is too early to know whether it could improve fertility as a treatment.

A partial eclipse is still worth seeing, but only with the right protection. Here's where you can still find eclipse glasses, solar binoculars and filters before eclipse day.

A tall glass of ice water isn't just a thirst quencher; it's also an everyday example of coexisting phases. Water can exist simultaneously in both liquid and solid phases. As it turns out, this phase duality can ...

Uberaba Geopark, also known as the "Land of the Giants," is a region in Brazil's Cerrado biome that preserved thousands of prehistoric fossils.

Using a detector filled with nearly 9 metric tons of liquid xenon, researchers have delivered some of the most sensitive dark matter results ever recorded. In the latest analysis from the XENON collaboration, working at ...

An out-of-control SpaceX rocket that crashed into the moon earlier this week did, in fact, leave an impact crater, according to images from a Korea AeroSpace Administration lunar orbiter that caught before-and-after phot...

A new yarn combines the stretch of spandex with the recyclability of a single plastic, offering a potential path toward more sustainable clothing.

Researchers are investigating whether artificially thickening ice blockages between Canada and Greenland could prevent huge amounts of sea ice from flowing south to melt

Voyager 1 is running low on power for science, but a successful energy-saving maneuver on Voyager 2 raises hope that the 50-year-old spacecraft can keep going.

High temperatures and low water levels have forced several countries to shut down nuclear reactors just as citizens turn up their air conditioning, forcing energy prices to spike and raising the threat of blackouts

No, AI hasn't cracked the encryption protecting your bank account. But experts say Anthropic's latest research could change how tomorrow's cryptography is tested.
