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 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
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
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
At WIRED Health, pioneering Alzheimer's researcher John Hardy outlined the stakes—and next steps—of where treatment is headed next
A gut bacterium may be quietly fueling depression through an unexpected chemical twist。 Researchers found that when Morganella morganii interacts with a common pollutant, it produces a molecule that triggers inflammation—something strongly linked to depression。 This finding helps explain how gut microbes can influence brain health at a molecular le
Scientists have created a powerful new way to control quantum systems, achieving the first-ever demonstration of quadsqueezing—an elusive fourth-order quantum effect。 By combining simple forces in a clever way, they made previously hidden quantum behaviors visible and usable, opening new frontiers for quantum technology
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
A breakthrough in brain-inspired computing could make today’s energy-hungry AI systems far more efficient。 Researchers have engineered a new nanoelectronic device using a modified form of hafnium oxide that mimics how neurons process and store information at the same time。 Unlike conventional chips that waste energy moving data back and forth, this
Deep inside planets like Uranus and Neptune, scientists may have uncovered a bizarre new state of matter where atoms behave in unexpected ways。 Advanced simulations suggest that carbon and hydrogen, under crushing pressures and scorching temperatures, can form a strange hybrid phase—part solid, part fluid—where hydrogen atoms spiral through a rigid
A new kind of memory device may finally solve the problem of overheating and battery drain in electronics。 By shrinking components to an extreme scale and redesigning their structure, researchers found a way to reduce energy loss instead of increasing it。 The result is a tiny memory unit that improves as it gets smaller—something once thought impos
Different hunting patterns seem to dictate different distributions of metal
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
A mysterious magnetic material once thought to host an exotic “quantum spin liquid” has turned out to be something entirely different—and possibly just as intriguing。 Scientists studying cerium magnesium hexalluminate found it showed the hallmark signs of this elusive quantum state, like a lack of magnetic order and a spread of energy states。 But a
Scientists have pulled off a first: teleporting a photon’s state between two separate quantum dots。 This was done over a 270-meter open-air link, proving quantum information can travel between independent devices。 The achievement marks a key step toward building quantum networks for ultra-secure communication
