Self-organizing lasers could lead to new materials for sensing, computing, light sources, and displays by mimicking features of living systems. Although many artificial materials have…
Intermittent fasting alters the gut bacteria activity of mice and increases their ability to recover from nerve damage. Scientists observed how fasting led to the…
Stress boosts a kind of sleep that subsequently relieves anxiety, according to new research using mice that also pinpoints the mechanism responsible. Since sleep is…
New research breakthrough uses machine learning technology to look at structural features within the brain, including in regions not previously associated with Alzheimer’s. The advantage…
Researchers have shown it is possible to perform artificial intelligence using tiny nanomagnets that interact like neurons in the brain. The new technology, developed by…
Less than a millionth of a billionth of a second long, attosecond X-ray pulses allow researchers to peer deep inside molecules and follow electrons as…
Imperial researchers have developed a new hydrogen fuel cell that uses iron instead of rare and costly platinum, enabling greater use of the technology. Hydrogen…
New solar cell devices that are cheaper and easier to make could soon make their way to market thanks to materials made at Imperial College…
Psilocybin, the psychedelic compound found in magic mushrooms, helps to “open up” depressed people’s brains, even after use, enabling brain regions to talk more freely…
A new study, published in Nature Communications and led by Imperial College London researchers, provides the first evidence of a protective role for these T…
An international team have mapped how the HTLV-1 virus causes a rare leukemia in some people, providing clues on how to stop it from happening….
OneZoom is a one-stop site for exploring all life on Earth, its evolutionary history, and how much of it is threatened with extinction. The OneZoom explorer…
A special form of four-stranded DNA, recently seen in human cells, has been found to interact with a gene that causes Cockayne Syndrome when faulty….
Energy from the solar wind interacting with the magnetospheric ‘bubble’ around Earth creates waves of energy that appear to stand still. This new finding, from…
Testing of an entire Italian town shows antibody levels remain high nine months after SARS-CoV-2 infection, whether symptomatic or asymptomatic. Researchers from the University of…
New research shows how the fundamental law of conservation of charge could break down near a black hole. Singularities, such as those at the centre…
Decisions made now will determine whether economies win or lose money as the coal industry changes over the next couple of decades. Countries including Australia…
Researchers have re-animated specimens of a fungus that causes coffee wilt to discover how the disease evolved and how its spread can be prevented. Coffee…
