Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting them with extreme lasers. By harnessing excitons, short-lived energy pairs ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

New research suggests that consistent aerobic exercise can help keep your brain biologically younger. Adults who exercised regularly for a year showed brains that appeared nearly a year younger than ...

Fungal infections are becoming deadlier as drug resistance spreads and treatment options stall. Researchers at McMaster University discovered that a molecule called butyrolactol A can dramatically ...

The microbes living in sourdough starters don’t just appear by chance—they’re shaped by what bakers feed them. New research ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs (NEB®) and Yale University describe the first fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering ...

Epaulette sharks can reproduce without any measurable increase in energy use, stunning researchers who expected egg-laying to ...

New experiments reveal that protein precursors can form naturally in deep space under extreme cold and radiation. Scientists ...

Mountain regions around the world are heating up faster than the lands below them, triggering dramatic shifts in snow, rain, ...

Researchers report that vagus nerve stimulation helped many people with long-standing, treatment-resistant depression feel ...
