Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing low-energy electrons after X-ray excitation.
They combined optical tweezers with metasurfaces to trap more than 1,000 atoms, with the potential to capture hundreds of thousands more. Quantum computers will only surpass classical machines if they can operate with far more quantum bits, known as qubits. Today’s most advanced systems contain r
A large, decades-long population study suggests that the relationship between diet and dementia may hinge on subtle chemical differences in everyday foods and water.
A new study suggests humans can sense hidden objects without touching them, by detecting faint movements in sand. This unexpected form of “remote touch” challenges traditional ideas about how the sense of touch works.
A study using EEG technology suggests the neural pathways linking genes to intelligence are not static. While young adults rely on executive networks, older adults appear to depend more on sensory processing regions.
Scientists have identified three distinct profiles of social anxiety in adolescents. One surprising group manifests fear of rejection through aggression and grandiosity rather than avoidance, highlighting the complexity of teen mental health.
A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer’s affects decision-making.
