Phys.org / Brains update sensory predictions through single timing hub, electric fish study finds
In the split second after you hear a noise, your brain is already making a potentially life-or-death deduction: Did I do that, or did something else? Our nervous systems answer this question using something called corollary ...
Phys.org / Wasp spider reveals rapid genetic adaptation during decades-long march into northern Europe
It has taken only a few decades: The wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi) has expanded its range from the Mediterranean region to northern Europe—even as far as southern Finland. In doing so, it has adapted genetically much faster ...
Phys.org / Quantum memory surpasses classical limits for storing unknown quantum operations
Quantum memories, systems that store and retrieve information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, can outperform classical storage systems on some existing tasks. Yet these promising memories could also complete operations ...
Phys.org / Nickelate superconductors share a common electronic fingerprint
Superconductors, materials that conduct electricity with zero electrical resistance at specific temperature ranges, have proved very promising for the development of quantum computers and other cutting-edge technologies. ...
Phys.org / Satellite data reveal Southern Ocean vertical currents diving 3,000 feet below surface
Ocean currents are not just horizontal motions that flow from side to side. There are also vertical currents that act like deep-sea elevators, pushing heat and carbon down into the deep, while bringing up vital nutrients ...
Phys.org / Carbon dioxide unlocks safer oxidation chemistry under room-temperature conditions
Oxidation reactions are indispensable to the chemical industry, but from a process safety perspective, they are among the most challenging transformations. A research team at the University of Bayreuth, working in collaboration ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Researcher provides insights into melanoma prognosis
Each year, more than 6,000 Swedes are diagnosed with melanoma. Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that, if detected late, can be fatal. Not all melanomas behave in the same way. A new doctoral thesis from Karolinska Institutet ...
Medical Xpress / Women's thyroid cancer risk may be linked to reproductive lifespan and hormone therapy
Longer lifetime exposure to female hormones may increase the risk of thyroid cancer in women, according to a study presented at ENDO 2026, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Chicago. The research suggests reproductive ...
Medical Xpress / Retinal cell subgroups may unlock more effective transplants for blindness
A new understanding of retinal cell development may help pave the way for future retina transplants, which could restore sight to people whose conditions currently have no effective treatments, according to researchers at ...
Phys.org / SpaceX: Five key moments, from first launch to Starship megarocket
More than 20 years after its founding, SpaceX made history Friday with its record-high stock market debut, crowning a unique journey marked by dazzling successes but also catastrophic failures and unfulfilled promises.
Medical Xpress / Engineers find a way to deliver drugs directly to the esophagus
There are few treatment options available for people with disorders of the esophagus. Delivering drugs directly to this part of the body is difficult, so patients are usually treated with systemic drugs, which can have unwanted ...
Phys.org / Family wealth reaches further: Grandparents' income links to grandchildren's college access
It has long been understood that parents' income plays a major role in children's access to higher education. But a new study published in Canadian Studies in Population suggests that grandparents' income matters, too. By ...
