Bees navigate their surroundings with astonishing precision. Their brains are now inspiring the design of tiny, low-power chips that could one day guide miniature robots and sensors. When a bee leaves ...

Scientists are still learning how spending prolonged periods of time in the microgravity of space can affect astronauts’ health. The environment has been shown to accelerate bone density loss and the ...

The Dehnel phenomenon is a case of extreme plasticity through which some mammals reduce and regenerate their brains according to the season. This mechanism allows species such as the common shrew to ...

Spaceflight takes a physical toll on astronauts, causing muscles to atrophy, bones to thin and bodily fluids to shift. According to a new study published in the journal PNAS, we can now add another ...

Astronauts’ brains can change shape and shift positions during stays in space, according to a new study with implications for NASA’s goals to conduct long-duration missions to the moon and Mars. The ...

OpenJDK project teams will focus work on features such as value types, code reflection, AOT compilation, and structured concurrency in the coming year. Oracle’s Java team in 2026 will work toward ...

The human brain processes information at different speeds depending on the situation, with some signals requiring immediate responses, such as reacting to a sudden sound or movement. Others develop ...

The human brain is a greedy organ. It gulps energy, demands constant upkeep, and somehow grew far larger (relative to body size) than the brains of any other primate. Scientists have always wondered ...

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) scientists have discovered a molecular difference in the brains of autistic people compared to their neurotypical counterparts. Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition ...

Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small brains. Changes in actin disrupted the orientation of early brain cell ...

CHICAGO (WLS) -- There is a new and major push to understand the level of microplastics in drinking water in Chicago and throughout the country. Politicians, advocacy groups, and governors, including ...

New research now suggests that our brains are still in the teenage phase until we “peak” in our early thirties. Researchers from the University of Cambridge looked at scans from around 4,000 people up ...
