New research shows that the superior colliculus, a primitive brain region, can independently interpret visual information. This challenges long-held beliefs that only the cortex handles such complex computations. The discovery highlights how ancient ...

Researchers have identified special immune cells in the brain that help slow Alzheimer's. These microglia work to reduce inflammation and block the spread of harmful proteins. They appear to protect memory and brain health, offering a promising new . ...

Aalto University scientists have created a laser-based treatment that uses gentle heat to stop the progression of dry macular degeneration. The approach stimulates the eye's natural cleanup and repair systems to protect against blindness.

A decade-long review by George Mason University researchers reveals growing evidence that neonicotinoid insecticides--the world's most widely used class of pesticides--may harm male reproductive health. The findings, based on 21 animal studies, show ...

New research suggests the COVID-19 vaccine could help children with eczema stay healthier overall. Vaccinated kids had lower rates of infections and allergies, including asthma and rhinitis, compared with unvaccinated peers. Experts believe the ...

MIT scientists uncovered direct evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle graphene by observing a distinctive V-shaped energy gap. The discovery hints that electron pairing in this material may arise from strong electronic ...

Researchers are using black hole shadows to challenge Einstein's theory of relativity. With new simulations and future ultra-sharp telescope images, they may uncover signs that his famous equations don't tell the whole story.

Scientists have discovered that deep-sea mining plumes can strip vital nutrition from the ocean's twilight zone, replacing natural food with nutrient-poor sediment. The resulting "junk food" effect could starve life across entire marine ecosystems.

A new study shows that the Southern Ocean releases far more carbon dioxide in winter than once thought. By combining laser satellite data with AI analysis, scientists managed to "see" through the polar darkness for the first time. The results reveal ...

Researchers found that the body's natural recycling system, the lysosome, plays a vital role in removing the protein that drives premature aging. When this system breaks down, aging speeds up. By reactivating it, scientists were able to help cells .. ...
