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 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 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
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
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
At WIRED Health, pioneering Alzheimer's researcher John Hardy outlined the stakes—and next steps—of where treatment is headed next
Scientists are grappling with a cosmic mystery: why does the Universe behave differently on massive scales compared to our own solar system。 While distant galaxies reveal clear signs of something bending the rules of gravity—often attributed to dark energy or a hidden “fifth force”—everything nearby seems to follow Einstein’s playbook perfectly
Scientists have unveiled a breakthrough imaging method that can capture the hidden details of events unfolding in trillionths of a second。 This new technique doesn’t just track how bright something is—it also reveals subtle structural changes that were previously invisible, all in a single shot。 By effectively turning ultrafast phenomena into detai
Senator decries "blatant, brazen corruption," wants to target Trump admin next
After two centuries of failed attempts, scientists have finally grown dolomite in the lab, cracking a long-standing geological puzzle。 They discovered that the mineral’s growth stalls because of tiny defects—but in nature, those flaws get washed away over time。 By mimicking this process with precise simulations and electron beam pulses, the team ac
A mysterious cosmic explosion has astronomers buzzing, as a strange event may hint at an entirely new kind of stellar cataclysm。 After detecting ripples in space-time, scientists spotted a fast-fading red glow that initially looked like a rare kilonova—the kind of collision that forges gold and uranium。 But just days later, the signal shifted, beha
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
Researchers have, for the first time, directly visualized how electronic patterns known as charge density waves evolve across a phase transition。 Using cutting-edge microscopy, they found these patterns form unevenly, breaking into patches influenced by tiny structural distortions。 Unexpectedly, small pockets of order persist even above the transit
In a breakthrough experiment, scientists directly imaged how particles pair up in a system that mimics superconductors。 Instead of behaving independently, the pairs moved in a synchronized, dance-like pattern—something never predicted before。 This suggests a major gap in the classic theory of superconductivity
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 light-sensitive crystal is opening the door to a new era of “light-written” technology。 Arsenic trisulfide can be reshaped and permanently altered using simple light, creating ultra-fine optical patterns without expensive manufacturing tools。 Scientists even etched a nanoscale portrait of Einstein and high-density patterns that could act as secur
