Most U.S. adults don't realize alcohol raises cancer risk, and drinkers themselves are the least aware. Scientists say targeting these misbeliefs could significantly reduce alcohol-related cancer deaths.

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique "connectivity fingerprint" tied to its role in cognition, from language to memory. The strongest links were found in ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, offering massive energy and size advantages. The ...

A new copper-magnesium-iron catalyst transforms CO2 into CO at low temperatures with record-breaking efficiency and stability. The discovery paves the way for affordable, scalable production of carbon-neutral synthetic fuels.

Researchers discovered fossil evidence showing that spionid worms, parasites of modern oysters, were already infecting bivalves 480 million years ago. High-resolution scans revealed their distinctive question mark-shaped burrows. The finding ...

Researchers discovered how rabies virus exerts massive control over host cells with very few genes. A key viral protein changes shape and binds RNA, allowing it to infiltrate different cellular systems. This adaptability could explain the power of .. ...

Scientists discovered 6-million-year-old ice in Antarctica, offering the oldest direct record of Earth's ancient atmosphere and climate. The finding reveals a dramatic cooling trend and promises insights into greenhouse gas changes over millions of . ...

Engineers at the University of Delaware have uncovered a way to bridge magnetism and electricity through magnons--tiny waves that carry information without electrical current. These magnetic waves can generate measurable electric signals within ...

Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way's past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This distorted structure could naturally explain the puzzling gamma-ray glow long thought to come from pulsars. The findings revive ...

Cockroach infestations don't just bring creepy crawlers, they fill homes with allergens and bacterial toxins that can trigger asthma and allergies. NC State researchers found that larger infestations meant higher toxin levels, especially from female ...
