Quantum computing struggles to separate processing and memory. While different techniques exist, they require bulky hardware. Scientists have now developed a new architecture that stores memory as vibrations, greatly shrinking the required hardware.

According to a recent investigation on mice by Stanford University researchers, there’s a case for treating parts of the brain as separate organs, each with very distinct embryological – and potentially evolutionary – origins.

Nearly 15 years ago, scientists found that plants had a biological mechanism that directs their form – thought to have only been something seen in animals. Now, researchers have uncovered how it works. It's essentially a tree's version of a muscle.

In a peer-reviewed paper recently published in Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, researchers bring together testable claims from a number of different fields to argue that the conditions surrounding an evening fire shaped the evolution of spoken language.

Most of us have learnt that life on land involved transitioning from the water and evolving the physiological means to do so. But a new study has found solid evidence that this formative process involved more diverse species also making the move.

A protein-rich cookie made from plastic and agricultural waste could help solve two serious problems facing future generations, according to a team presenting results from their NASA-funded project at the Fall Meeting of the American Chemical Society.

A breakthrough by researchers from Zhengzhou University, Adelaide University, the University of South Australia, and Central China Normal University could help you chill out when the temperatures peak without compromising style.

We're closer to understand who is most likely to feel invisible aftershocks following even small earthquakes. While they feel real at the time, the phantom quakes may just be your brain trying to make sense one of the weirdest sensations on Earth.

Human blood proteins have been found binding pigments in ancient rock art paintings in Southern China, potentially helping them survive the elements for more than 2,000 years.

Sixteen different PFAS compounds have been discovered in the feathers of Antarctic penguins, demonstrating that the insidious spread of "forever chemicals" now reaches the most remote wildlife on Earth.
