Built from low-powered protein nanowires made by bacteria, these neurons could enable vastly more efficient, bio-inspired computers. Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed ...

A new AI can “see” what fusion sensors miss, helping stabilize plasma and make reactors more efficient. The breakthrough could push fusion energy closer to becoming a reliable power source.

Researchers at Michigan State University have uncovered a surprising mechanism that plants use to regulate their growth — one that directly ties their development to how they perceive light.

Vinegar combined with nanoparticles killed resistant bacteria. The method may aid in fighting antimicrobial resistance. Chronic wounds that fail to heal are often the result of bacterial infections, ...

New research suggests that planets outside our solar system contain far less surface water than scientists once believed. Contrary to earlier theories that these exoplanets might be covered by deep ...

A black hole in a distant quasar is growing faster than the usual limit, according to Chandra observations. This may explain how the first supermassive black holes emerged. Astronomers have identified ...

A Japanese study has found that one group of people lose vaccine protection more quickly than others, even though they begin with higher antibody levels. Two healthcare workers receive COVID-19 ...

Phe, which suppresses appetite by acting on brain neurons. This mechanism could inspire new weight-loss treatments. Researchers from Baylor College of Medicine, the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological ...

Ultra-processed food addiction is gripping middle-aged Americans, and future generations may face an even bigger crisis.

Japanese researchers have revealed how weak magnetic fields can instantly control the direction of electrical flow in quantum metals. Quantum metals are materials in which quantum effects, usually ...

What if the universe remembers? A bold new framework proposes that spacetime acts as a quantum memory. For over a hundred years, physics has rested on two foundational theories. Einstein’s general ...

Sheet web spiders weaponize firefly glow, using their trapped prey as living beacons to catch even more victims. Credit: Tunghai University Deep in Taiwan’s forests, researchers uncovered a chilling ...
