An autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland, called autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIHT), is the most common autoimmune disease, yet it remains largely understudied. New research from scientists at Broad Institute, University of Helsinki,…
Human metabolism is regulated by internal clocks, the so-called circadian rhythms. Many processes, such as sugar uptake, fat burning, or hormone release, oscillate during the day, i.e., they fluctuate and exhibit characteristic 24-hour rhythms….
Some computers are easy to spot. Artificial, human-built computers like those found in smartphones and laptops are abstract dynamic systems with observable computational elements like input, output, energy cost, and logical processes. Other…
A new material can store energy from sunlight and convert it into hydrogen days later. The material, jointly developed by researchers from Ulm and Jena, can do this even in the dark. The process is reversible and can be reactivated several times…
NEW YORK — NEW YORK (AP) — Humans and Neanderthals cozied up from time to time when they lived in the same areas tens of thousands of years ago. But we don’t know much about who got with whom, or why.

Google has launched Nano Banana 2, its latest Gemini image model, promising faster image generation with upgraded intelligence, better text rendering and stronger creative control.
The new system, officially called Gemini 3.1 Flash Image,…
Quantum computing firm Xanadu has launched a new research initiative with defense giant Lockheed Martin to push the boundaries of Quantum Machine Learning, or QML.
The partnership will explore whether quantum systems can power new kinds of…
After fertilization, the gametes within the egg prepare to coordinate the formation of a new life. Genomicists have traditionally thought that this period, before a coordinating process called zygotic genome activation begins, is marked by genome…
Wildlife trafficking is one of the world’s most widespread illegal trades, contributing to biodiversity loss, organized crime, and public health risks. Once concentrated in physical markets, much of this activity has moved online. Today, animals…
A small but growing body of evidence suggests that a minimally invasive surgical procedure called lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) might be an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), according to a special article in the March issue of…
