Is consciousness something the brain produces, or is it woven into the fabric of reality itself? Renowned neuroscientist Christof Koch is challenging long-held scientific assumptions by confronting ...

Your brain’s “stop eating” signal may come from an unexpected source. Researchers found that astrocytes—once thought to just support neurons—actually play a key role in controlling appetite. After a ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward futuristic energy tech by building a working prototype of a quantum battery—one ...

A newly discovered group of tarantulas is so bizarre that scientists had to invent a whole new genus—Satyrex—to describe them ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward probing one of physics’ biggest mysteries—how gravity and quantum mechanics fit together—by creating the first unified way to detect tiny “ripples” in ...

AI is consuming staggering amounts of energy—already over 10% of U.S. electricity—and the demand is only accelerating. Now, ...

Scientists have identified a little-known receptor, GPR133, as a powerful regulator of bone strength. By activating it with a newly discovered compound called AP503, they were able to boost bone ...

Scientists have identified a potential new weapon against hepatitis E, a virus with no approved treatment and tens of ...

Quantum circuits are supposed to gain power as they grow longer, but noise changes the picture. A new study finds that earlier steps in these circuits gradually lose their impact, with only the final ...

Oyster reefs aren’t random piles—they’re carefully shaped survival systems. Researchers discovered that certain geometric ...
