Perovskite solar cells shouldn't work as well as they do--but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric charges efficiently. Using a novel imaging method ...

A new chip design from UC San Diego could make data centers far more energy-efficient by rethinking how power is converted for GPUs. By combining vibrating piezoelectric components with a clever circuit layout, the system overcomes limitations of ...

A mysterious glow of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way has long hinted at dark matter, but the lack of similar signals in smaller dwarf galaxies has cast doubt on that idea. Now, researchers propose a bold twist: dark matter might not be a .. ...

Cancer drugs known as BET inhibitors once looked like a breakthrough, but in real patients they've often fallen short. New research reveals a key reason why: two closely related proteins, BRD2 and BRD4, don't actually do the same job. Instead, BRD2 . ...

A breakthrough in microbiome research could change how colorectal cancer is detected--no colonoscopy required. Scientists used AI to map gut bacteria at an unprecedented level of detail, revealing subtle microbial patterns linked to cancer. By ...

Earth's nights are steadily getting brighter overall, but the changes vary dramatically by region. Rapid urban growth is lighting up countries like China and India, while parts of Europe are dimming due to energy-saving efforts and new lighting ...

A hidden waste-removal pathway in the brain has finally been caught in action. Using cutting-edge MRI scans, researchers discovered that fluid flows along the middle meningeal artery in a slow, lymphatic-like pattern--very different from blood. This ...

Dragonflies may see the world in a way that pushes beyond human limits--and surprisingly, they do it using the same molecular trick we evolved ourselves. Scientists discovered that these insects can detect extremely deep red light, even edging into . ...

Your brain might be quietly deciding what tastes good before you even take a sip. Researchers found that simply changing what people thought they were drinking--sugar or artificial sweetener--could dramatically shift how much they enjoyed it. When .. ...

Scientists are uncovering a surprising connection between autism and ADHD that goes deeper than labels. Instead of diagnoses, it's the severity of autism-like traits that seems to shape how the brain is wired--even in children who don't officially .. ...
