Although genetically modified crops have some advantages over their regular counterparts, creating the modified plants can be quite challenging. Scientists have now developed a simpler approach, in which normal plants are altered with a crop spray.

When conducting studies on how people react to different emotions, actual human faces may not express those emotions the same way each time, while photos just aren't as impactful. That's why scientists have developed a robotic head to do the job.

Three teams of scientists have achieved a major milestone in quantum computing. All three groups demonstrated better than 99 percent accuracy in silicon-based quantum devices, paving the way for practical, scalable, error-free quantum computers.

Physicists at CERN have discovered that antimatter falls down. It sounds obvious, but scientists hadn’t yet been able to confirm that it responds to gravity in the same way as regular matter does. A new experiment provides the best answer so far.
-
Quantum computers could one day outperform traditional machines, but hurdles remain. Now physicists have successfully entangled three silicon quantum dots for the first time, in a breakthrough that could help make quantum computers more practical.

Teams tasked with managing tsunami risks may soon have a powerful new tool at their disposal, in the form of a new AI model that enables near real-time predictions of how these events will shape the flooding of coastal areas.

A breakthrough study from scientists in Japan has homed in on the specific characteristics of stem cells responsible for hair cell regeneration and identified the optimal ingredients to generate continual hair follicle growth.

It is said that we know more about the surface of Mars than the seafloor. A new technique could help us fill in the blanks by using deep-dwelling rays to survey the seabed for us, and possibly even power the required hardware themselves.

Compelling new research, studying zebrafish fights, is suggesting the fight-or-flight mechanism is modulated by a hormone that regulates appetite. And when the fish are starving this mechanism is triggered, helping them fight significantly longer.

The world’s most powerful supercomputer has just fired up. A newcomer named Fugaku has nabbed the number one spot in the Top500 list of supercomputers, surpassing Summit, the reigning champion of the past few years.
-
In a new study, researchers looked at the immune systems of people who have hit the milestone of 110 years old, and found that they have a high number of a particular type of immune cell that’s rare even in healthy, younger people.

A new study from a team of Japanese researchers is presenting a novel hypothesis as to the cause of a subtype of schizophrenia. The study also suggests a biomarker in human follicles could allow future diagnoses to be made using a single hair.
