Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing artificial neurons that can actually communicate with real ones. These flexible, low-cost devices generate lifelike electrical .. ...

Some of the ocean's fastest and most fearsome predators--like great white sharks and tuna--are running hotter than expected, and it's costing them dearly. New research shows these warm-bodied fish burn nearly four times more energy than cold-blooded ...

As the Moon swallowed the Sun during the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, something remarkable happened on the ground--cities went eerily quiet. Scientists analyzing seismic data found that human-generated vibrations, usually caused by traffic, .. ...

Researchers have shown that blending quantum computing with AI can dramatically improve predictions of complex, chaotic systems. By letting a quantum computer identify hidden patterns in data, the AI becomes more accurate and stable over time. The .. ...

A surprising new study suggests that eating a very healthy diet--packed with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains--might be linked to a higher risk of lung cancer in younger non-smokers. Researchers found that patients under 50 diagnosed with lung .. ...

Long before rising seas swallowed Doggerland beneath the North Sea, this lost landscape may have been a surprisingly lush and life-friendly haven. New DNA evidence reveals that forests of oak, elm, and hazel were already thriving there more than 16 . ...

A hidden threat is emerging in the world's glaciers: while most are shrinking, a rare group known as "surging glaciers" can suddenly accelerate, unleashing powerful and sometimes destructive events. Scientists have identified over 3,100 of these ...

A new quantum sensing approach could dramatically improve how scientists measure low-frequency electric fields, a task that has long been limited by bulky setups and blurry resolution. Instead of relying on traditional vapor-cell methods, researchers ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how bacteria share genes--including those that spread antibiotic resistance. Tiny virus-like particles called gene transfer agents (GTAs), once ancient viral invaders, have been repurposed by bacteria . ...

Sparkling water is often seen as a simple, healthy drink--but could it also help with weight loss? New research suggests it may slightly boost how the body processes blood sugar and energy. However, the effect is very small, meaning it's no ...
