Scientists have developed nanorobots that can repair brain aneurysms with unprecedented precision. These tiny robots are smaller than blood cells and can deliver clot-forming drugs directly to the site of the aneurysm, preventing devastating strokes. The technology has been tested only in rabbits so far, but it could potentially become an alternative to current treatments … Read more

Scientists from the University of Vienna have made a groundbreaking discovery in their study of the scarlet sea anemone (Nematostella vectensis). The team found possible multipotent stem cells in the anemone, which could be key to understanding how these creatures can successfully fight against aging. The scarlet sea anemone is a member of the Cnidaria … Read more

Sticking to the same daily habits can be beneficial, but getting too stuck in a routine can actually harm your cognitive function and memory. Research shows that diversifying your daily activities and changing up what you do can result in higher overall cognitive functioning. In fact, one study found that participants with more diversity in … Read more

Scientists have long known that the protein kinase Mzeta (PKMzeta) molecule plays a central role in forming memories. However, new research identifies its partner-in-crime, the kidney and brain expressed adaptor protein (KIBRA), which forms long-term memories through interactions that “tag” certain synapses in neurons. Further study of this interaction could help scientists develop therapies for … Read more

IQM Quantum Computers has achieved a major milestone in the development of its superconducting quantum computers. The Finland-based company has demonstrated a record-low error rate for two-qubit operations, with a CZ gate between two qubits achieving 99.91% fidelity. This achievement marks a significant step towards “fault-tolerant” quantum computing and is essential for generating entangled states … Read more

The Internet Archive has suffered a significant legal setback after the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled against the organization’s book digitization project, upholding an earlier ruling that found the project violated copyright law. The case centers around the National Emergency Library (NEL), launched by the Internet Archive in March 2020 to … Read more

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have made a breakthrough discovery that could lead to new treatments for age-related diseases and promote healthier aging. They found a protein called OSER1 that plays a key role in regulating longevity, offering insights into why some people live longer than others.
