Nicotine e-cigarettes may be one of the most effective tools yet for quitting smoking, according to a sweeping review of global research. By analyzing findings from 14 major reviews spanning nearly a decade, researchers found consistent, high-quality ...

Scientists have created a microscopic QR code so tiny it can only be seen with an electron microscope--smaller than most bacteria and now officially a world record. But this isn't just about size; it's about durability. By engraving data into ultra . ...

A new holographic storage technique uses light in three dimensions to dramatically increase how much data can be stored. It encodes information throughout a material using amplitude, phase, and polarization, rather than just on a surface. An AI model ...

Scientists have developed a new gene therapy that quiets pain at its source in the brain--without the addictive risks of opioids. Using AI to map how pain is processed, they created a targeted "off switch" that mimics morphine's benefits but skips .. ...

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a "spin-flip" metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result reached about 130% efficiency, meaning more energy ...

Scientists have created a new kind of carbon material that could make carbon capture much cheaper and more efficient. By carefully controlling how nitrogen atoms are arranged, they found certain structures capture CO2 better and release it using far ...

For decades, astronomers have been puzzled by strange "zebra stripe" patterns in radio waves from the Crab Pulsar -- bright bands separated by complete darkness. Now, new research suggests the answer lies in a cosmic tug-of-war between gravity and .. ...

A widely used sugar substitute found in everything from keto snacks to diet drinks may not be as harmless as it seems. New research shows that erythritol can disrupt brain blood vessel cells, reducing their ability to relax, increasing harmful ...

Scientists have uncovered how your body actually tells your brain to stop eating when you're sick. In a new study, researchers found that specialized cells in the gut detect parasites and send signals that ultimately trigger the brain to suppress ...

Scientists have identified a key biological system that helps brown fat burn energy by building the networks it needs to function. A protein called SLIT3 splits into two parts, with each piece guiding the growth of blood vessels and nerves inside ...
