A breakthrough in brain-inspired computing could make today's energy-hungry AI systems far more efficient. Researchers have engineered a new nanoelectronic device using a modified form of hafnium oxide that mimics how neurons process and store ...

Scientists have mapped how Earth's deepest mantle is being deformed--and the results point to long-lost tectonic plates buried thousands of kilometers underground. Using a massive global dataset of seismic waves, they found that most deformation ...

A bizarre crocodile relative from the age of dinosaurs is rewriting what scientists thought they knew about ancient reptiles. This poodle-sized creature, called Sonselasuchus cedrus, appears to have started life walking on all fours before shifting . ...

A remarkably preserved, mummified reptile from 289 million years ago is rewriting what we know about how animals first breathed on land. This tiny creature, Captorhinus aguti, reveals the earliest known version of the rib-powered breathing system ...

A new virus-fighting plastic film could transform everyday surfaces into invisible defenders against disease. Instead of relying on chemicals, this flexible material is covered in microscopic pillars that physically stretch viruses until they burst, ...

Scientists at UC Irvine have found a way to potentially reverse age-related vision loss by targeting the ELOVL2 "aging gene" and restoring vital fatty acids in the retina. Their experiments in mice show that supplementing with specific ...

A newly discovered virus hiding inside a common gut bacterium could help explain one of medicine's long-standing mysteries: why a microbe found in both healthy people and cancer patients is linked to colorectal cancer. The research suggests that the ...

A routine blood marker tied to inflammation may reveal Alzheimer's risk years in advance. Scientists found that higher neutrophil levels--part of the body's first immune response--were linked to a greater chance of developing dementia. The discovery ...

Ancient DNA from a tomb near Paris reveals a shocking prehistoric reset: one population vanished and was replaced by newcomers from the south. The two groups show no genetic connection, signaling a major upheaval around 3000 BC. Disease, including .. ...

Scientists have discovered unexpected water-ice clouds on a distant, Jupiter-like exoplanet, challenging current atmospheric models. By directly imaging Epsilon Indi Ab with the James Webb Space Telescope, they found less ammonia than expected- ...
