MIT’s new lidar chip could give self-driving cars a wider view
MIT engineers have found a way to give chip-based lidar a wider, clearer view without relying on moving parts. Their design uses differently shaped antennas …
Scientists revive a powerful antibiotic that superbugs had defeated
Scientists have found a way to revive vancomycin, a powerful antibiotic that some dangerous bacteria have learned to resist. Instead of creating an entirely new …
New cancer strategy could stop tumors before resistance takes hold
Researchers are applying evolutionary theory to cancer by changing treatments before tumors have time to develop resistance. Mathematical models suggest that rapid, carefully timed switches …
Magic mushrooms may reshape the brain long after the trip ends
A single dose of psilocybin produced measurable changes in brain activity and possible changes in brain structure that lasted for up to a month. Participants …
New programmable photonic chip can control how fast light moves
Scientists have created a programmable optical chip that can slow light on demand, giving engineers far greater control over how optical signals propagate through a …
Coffee may protect your heart but energy drinks could harm it
For most adults, a daily caffeine habit may be safer for the heart than many people assume. A new American Heart Association review found that …
Watching too much TV in midlife may shrink the brain
Watching television very often in midlife may be linked to troubling brain changes decades later. In a study of about 1,700 adults, frequent TV viewers …
Ancient mystery on K’gari as world’s largest sand island lakes dried up …
Ancient sediment reveals that some of K’gari’s deepest lakes vanished around 7,500 years ago, despite unusually heavy rainfall. The surprising discovery suggests changing winds and …
China’s Chang’e-6 reveals why solar wind hits the Moon’s two sides differently
China’s Chang’e-6 samples have uncovered a surprising difference between the Moon’s two hemispheres. Solar wind particles penetrated deeper into the far-side soil because Earth’s magnetosphere …
Astronomers find the first atmosphere on a rocky world in the habitable …
Astronomers have found the first confirmed atmosphere around a rocky planet in another star’s habitable zone. The planet, LHS 1140 b, revealed its atmosphere through …
Ancient DNA reveals a chilling secret at China’s 4,000-year-old Shimao city
Ancient DNA from China’s vast 4,000-year-old Shimao settlement is revealing how one of East Asia’s earliest complex societies was organized. Researchers found that its people …
A hidden “switch-off” signal could predict solar storms seven years early
A newly discovered turning point in the Sun’s 11-year cycle could allow scientists to predict future solar activity years earlier than before. At this “switch-off” …
Scientists found mystery bacteria inside one of the ocean’s most elusive whales
Scientists studying decades of pygmy sperm whale strandings have uncovered three previously unknown types of Helicobacter bacteria hiding in the animals’ stomachs. All four infected …
New molecular map reveals how the flu virus hijacks human cells
Scientists uncovered how influenza A commandeers human cells, including a surprising strategy that dissolves tiny structures in the nucleus and releases proteins the virus may …
This food compound may help vaccines work better in older adults
A naturally occurring compound found in foods such as wheat germ, mushrooms, and aged cheese may help older adults build stronger protection after vaccination. In …
Dying Sun-like stars may kick themselves through space
Dying Sun-like stars may not fade away quietly. As blobs of gas erupt unevenly from their swollen surfaces, each burst gives the star a tiny …
New quantum gravity theory links entropy, dark energy, and life
A new theoretical study offers a possible explanation for how the Universe can grow more complex without violating the second law of thermodynamics. Using a …
New antibody drug stops aggressive prostate cancer from spreading
Scientists have developed a fully human antibody that halted the growth and spread of aggressive prostate cancer in preclinical research. Although more testing is needed, …
Scientists detect hidden skin damage before it becomes visible
Scientists have discovered a hidden warning sign of skin damage that appears before collagen fibers visibly thin, break, or lose their connections. Using advanced light-based …
Some dinosaurs could rise like giants until they grew too big
Two elephant-sized South American sauropods were unusually well built for standing on their hind legs. Digital tests showed that their robust femurs handled the enormous …
Earth’s waters are quietly running out of oxygen, scientists warn
Oxygen is disappearing from oceans, lakes, rivers, and coastal waters at an alarming rate, threatening aquatic life and weakening the natural processes that help regulate …
Alzheimer’s breakthrough: Scientists restore two hours of sleep without clearing brain plaques
Researchers have uncovered a surprising culprit behind sleep loss in Alzheimer’s disease: the brain’s own immune cells. In mice with amyloid plaques, overactive microglia triggered …
An ordinary laptop solved a problem thought to require a quantum computer
A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware. Researchers used tensor networks to compress the …
Scientists discover a protein that protects the brain from Alzheimer’s damage
A protein called SORLA may act as a powerful defense against the toxic tau tangles involved in Alzheimer’s disease. Mice with extra SORLA had less …
