Scientists watched fish brains predict social behavior seconds before it happened. The discovery reveals how a tiny brain region c…
A tiny bug trapped in ancient amber has crab-like claws never seen before in fossil insects — and it rewrites what we thought we…
A tiny immortal jellyfish can grow young again by rewinding its own cells. Scientists believe its secret may one day help humans a…
A tiny protein from white perch fish lets scientists connect two brain cells like soldering wires. The result changed how mice han…
Scientists found a clever trick baby zebrafish use to build their tiny bodies. Their soft tissue stiffens at just the right moment…
540-million-year-old Brazilian fossils once believed to be early animal trails are actually preserved bacteria and algae. The disc…

Cornell scientists used a molecule to fully stop sperm production in mice—then reverse it completely. Here's what this means for…
For decades, cancer's genetic chaos made it nearly untreatable. A new tool just found the one hidden junction where hundreds of mu…
An AI model trained on dusty plasma data corrected decades-old physics assumptions — with over 99% accuracy. Here's what scienti…
A Swiss lab built MitoCatch — a system that guides healthy mitochondria directly into damaged cells. It rescued neurons from a r…
Scientists successfully froze Texas horned lizard sperm for the first time. Post-thaw motility hit 38% — enough to bank genetics…
A rigorous new analysis shows your memories could be a random cosmic fluctuation — and the second law of thermodynamics is no de…
A new theoretical framework argues human irrationality, memory distortion, and inner conflict aren't cognitive flaws — they're t…
Researchers found that a simple blood test called Fischer's ratio can help predict which kidney failure patients have a higher ris…
Researchers at Peking University have mapped the entire pipeline for building DNA-based molecular robots — from nanoscale joints…
Scientists named a new species of ancient crocodile relative found in Gloucestershire, England. Galahadosuchus jonesi walked uprig…
Researchers at Peking University have built nanoscale machines from DNA strands that can move, sense, and deliver drugs inside the…
Your DNA can spell the same instruction dozens of ways. Scientists just proved the spelling choice quietly decides how much of a p…
Penn scientists found that telomere length is decided in the embryo's first cell divisions — not by genes alone, but by which pa…
500 million years ago, a tiny green organism crawled out of the ocean and rewrote Earth's future. Here's the fascinating story of …
Scientists used quantum-level GW calculations to screen 55 metal cations and identify ion-exchanged PHI photocatalysts that produc…
Scientists froze a living mouse brain to −196°C and recovered full memory-forming function. This 2026 PNAS study is the closest…
A 90-million-year-old Alnashetri fossil from Patagonia just dismantled everything paleontologists thought they knew about how smal…
A hair-thin flake of the ferroelectric mineral CuInP2S6 has shattered birefringence records in the blue-ultraviolet range — and …
Hundreds of studies link health insurance to better health — but does coverage actually cause better outcomes? A landmark review…
A Japanese shrub depends entirely on a seed-eating beetle for pollination — then drops infested fruits early. New research revea…
A landmark algorithm called Conservatory has catalogued 2.3 million conserved non-coding sequences across 284 plant species — in…
A Harvard-led COSMOS trial of 958 adults found Centrum Silver slowed two mortality-predicting epigenetic clocks — PCGrimAge and …
For 50 years, protein folding defeated science's best minds. Then DeepMind built AlphaFold — and solved it in minutes. Here's wh…
