Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature。 By combining a specially designed neural network with precise 3D tracking of particles in a dusty plasma—a strange “fourth state of matter” found from space to wildfires—the team revealed hidden patterns in how particles interact

A massive Swedish study shows that AI can spot people at higher risk of melanoma using routine health data。 Advanced models significantly outperformed basic methods, identifying high-risk groups with striking accuracy。 Some individuals flagged by the system had up to a 33% chance of developing melanoma within five years

In a striking glimpse into extreme physics, scientists have captured the split-second chaos that unfolds when powerful laser flashes blast matter into a superheated plasma。 By combining two cutting-edge lasers, researchers were able to track how copper atoms lose and regain electrons in trillionths of a second, creating and dissolving highly charge

A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped inside a nucleus。 This exotic state may reveal how mass is generated, suggesting that particles can weigh less when surrounded by dense nuclear matter。 The findings support long-standing theories about how the vacuum of space i

A key protein involved in fat metabolism has been found to do more than scientists once thought。 Instead of just releasing fat, it helps maintain healthy fat tissue and balance in the body。 When it’s missing or disrupted, the results can be surprisingly harmful

Scientists have discovered a way to help the brain clean itself of harmful Alzheimer’s plaques by activating its own support cells。 By increasing a protein called Sox9, researchers were able to boost the activity of astrocytes, star shaped cells that help maintain brain health。 In mice that already showed memory problems, this approach reduced plaq

A group of undergraduate students pulled off something remarkable: they built their own dark matter detector and used it to probe one of physics’ biggest mysteries。 Working with limited resources but plenty of creativity, they designed a stripped-down experiment to hunt for axions — hypothetical particles that could make up dark matter

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new layer of complexity in Cannabis, identifying dozens of previously unknown compounds—including the first-ever evidence of rare molecules called flavoalkaloids in its leaves。 These compounds, prized for their potential health benefits, were hidden among a rich mix of plant chemicals that vary dramatically ev

At WIRED Health, pioneering Alzheimer's researcher John Hardy outlined the stakes—and next steps—of where treatment is headed next

Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has been pushed even further。 For the first time, researchers have observed wave-like interference in positronium, an exotic “atom” made of an electron and its antimatter partner, a positron。 This breakthrough not only strengthen

A surprising breakthrough in physics could reshape the future of computing by tapping into a strange, previously untapped property of matter。 Scientists have shown that tiny atomic vibrations—called chiral phonons—can directly transfer motion to electrons, allowing them to carry information without magnets, batteries, or even electricity。 This open

Scientists have uncovered a surprising link between simple body movement and brain health: every time you tighten your abdominal muscles—even slightly—your brain may gently sway inside your skull。 This subtle motion, triggered by pressure changes in connected blood vessels, appears to help circulate cerebrospinal fluid around the brain, potentially

Physicists are rethinking one of quantum mechanics’ biggest puzzles: how fuzzy possibilities become definite reality。 New research suggests that spontaneous “collapse” processes—possibly linked to gravity—could subtly blur time itself。 This wouldn’t affect clocks we use today, but it reveals a hidden limit to how precise time can ever be
