Useful quantum computers will have to use many logical qubits as their computational building blocks, and researchers just broke the record for how reliable they can be

Scientists have achieved a quantum breakthrough by creating an ultra-clean surface where individual molecules can maintain their delicate quantum properties at the fundamental limit. The discovery could unlock unpreceden...

NASA scientists have finally uncovered why asteroid Bennu loses heat so quickly despite being covered in massive boulders. Samples returned to Earth reveal that its rocks are filled with hidden cracks, solving a mystery ...

A 6-month study of 1,035 adults reveals four distinct trauma trajectories, showing symptom tracking predicts PTSD far better than single mental health checks.

Researchers discovered that recurring arthritis triggered by cancer immunotherapy may be driven by immune cells that remember previous attacks and return in a more aggressive state. The findings could pave the way for tr...

Archaeologists in Russia unearthed a flat wooden "pizza paddle" that had a board game carved into it.

A gene variant called APOE4 is the biggest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. Scientists are finally figuring out how it works.

Scientists have unveiled a new theory on the birth of the cosmos, suggesting the early universe was shaped by an ancient particle that has been overlooked for decades.

We have long had a seemingly simple question about neutrinos: how much do they weigh? Now, a gigantic experiment in China is poised to find out - and the answer could transform particle physics forever

Using a system called BootLoops, scientists produced 36 papers in three months. Paired with experts, the tool could pollinate ideas across fields. The post New AI Tool Could Help Scientists Make Rare Cross-Disciplinary L...

Neuroscientists uncover how the brain merges facial expressions and vocal tones, revealing cross-sensory hubs that decode emotion across sight and sound.

A new study finds anxiety and depression drive pregnancy brain fog, while exercise relieves depression fog but can worsen anxiety-related slips.

An AI-operated drone learned to fly from scratch and navigated a race course at speeds over 60 mph, using a single camera.
