| AI Searched 150 Million Materials – and Found Two Promising Candidates for Future Electronics |
|
|
2026-08-31 10:53:32 +00:00
 Researchers built a dataset of 1,202 records from 448 papers and screened about 150 million virtual compositions to identify potential materials for future MLCCs and electric vehicle electronics. Finding a new electronic material can mean searching through an almost limitless number of possible chemical combinations. Researchers at Seoul National University have used artificial intelligence to [...]

| A Major Quantum Computing Problem May Finally Have an Answer: Can We Trust the Results? |
|
|
2026-08-31 10:18:24 +00:00
 Researchers can now put numerical error limits on quantum simulations, showing how much confidence to place in their results. As quantum simulators become powerful enough to tackle problems beyond the reach of conventional computers, a difficult question follows: how can researchers know whether their answers are accurate? When classical calculations are still possible, the two [...]

| NASA’s Roman Telescope Begins a Million-Mile Journey Into Deep Space |
|
|
2026-08-31 09:43:29 +00:00
 NASA’s Roman Space Telescope has launched on a million-mile journey to map the hidden universe at a scale and speed astronomers have never had before. NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is now on its way to deep space, beginning a three-month, million-mile trip to its final orbit. The observatory launched at 7:26 a.m. EDT [...]

| Researchers Have Discovered a New Way To Reduce Chronic Nerve Pain |
|
|
2026-08-31 00:33:57 +00:00
 A cancer-linked protein called BRAF may help drive chronic nerve pain, and existing cancer drugs targeting it reduced pain sensitivity in preclinical models. Chronic nerve pain can persist long after an injury and often responds poorly to standard pain medications. Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center now report evidence that BRAF, [...]

| Less Sugar Early in Life Linked to Lower Dementia Risk Decades Later |
|
|
2026-08-30 23:18:58 +00:00
 The study compared people born during and after sugar rationing in the United Kingdom during World War II. People exposed to less sugar before birth and during their first one to two years of life were less likely to develop dementia decades later, according to an observational study of nearly 65,000 people. They also tended [...]

2026-08-30 19:45:54 +00:00
 An accidental Subaru Telescope image of a distant bare comet is giving astronomers a clearer look at the surface of a cometary nucleus. A comet can reveal its surface most clearly when it is still far from the Sun, before warming releases the gas and dust that normally hide its nucleus. Researchers found just such [...]

| JWST Finds Giant Planets Face a Cosmic Race Against Time |
|
|
2026-08-30 18:30:44 +00:00
 JWST observations of dozens of young, Sun-like stars suggest that the forces stripping gas from planet-forming disks evolve as the systems mature. Around young stars, the gas needed to build planets is steadily disappearing. New observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are showing that this loss does not happen the same way throughout [...]

| Brain Cells Once Thought Protective May Actually Drive Cognitive Decline With Age |
|
|
2026-08-30 16:24:48 +00:00
 Age-related oligodendrocyte dysfunction may contribute to cognitive decline by disrupting myelin and large nerve fibers. Myelin is essential for fast communication in the brain, forming a protective coating around nerve fibers so electrical signals can travel efficiently. But the cells that produce this insulation, called oligodendrocytes, may become dysfunctional with age and actively contribute to [...]

| Magnetic Bacterium Extends Lifespan by 43% in Surprising Anti-Aging Study |
|
|
2026-08-30 15:09:53 +00:00
 A magnetotactic bacterium extended lifespan in worms by 43.39% and appeared to do so by suppressing ferroptosis. A bacterium best known for producing microscopic magnetic structures may have an unexpected effect on aging. In experiments with Caenorhabditis elegans, the magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 extended average lifespan by 43.39% while helping preserve neurological function and [...]

| 80,000-Year-Old Arrowheads Could Rewrite the Story of How Humans Reached Europe |
|
|
2026-08-30 12:03:06 +00:00
 Microlithic projectile points from Uzbekistan may link Central Asia to a revised story of Homo sapiens’ early expansion into Europe. Researchers have identified tiny triangular projectile points at the Obi Rakhmat site in Uzbekistan by studying the marks left when they struck targets. Found in the site’s oldest occupation layers, the points date back 80,000 [...]

| Archaeologists Discover Evidence of “Brands” 3,200 Years Before Modern Capitalism |
|
|
2026-08-30 10:48:23 +00:00
 Researchers found that brands existed long before modern capitalism. Long before modern corporations and capitalism, craftspeople may already have been producing goods with a recognizable identity that traveled far beyond their place of origin. An international team led by Marta Luciani of the University of Vienna has found evidence that distinctive painted pottery made in [...]

| “Zombie” Cells Reveal a Surprising New Driver of Chronic Inflammation |
|
|
2026-08-30 01:51:47 +00:00
 Dysfunctional mitochondria may drive age-related inflammation by helping switch on inflammatory genes, and blocking SLC25A1 reduced that activity. As people age, senescent cells accumulate in the body. These so-called “zombie” cells have stopped dividing but remain metabolically active, releasing inflammatory molecules that can contribute to persistent inflammation associated with frailty, cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegeneration, and [...]

| The Rare Vision Side Effect of Ozempic and Wegovy You Should Know About |
|

2026-08-30 00:36:28 +00:00
 Rutgers researchers say the risk is low, but patients should still be aware of the possible association. GLP-1 medications have become widely used for Type 2 diabetes and obesity, with drugs such as semaglutide, sold as Ozempic and Wegovy, and tirzepatide, sold as Mounjaro and Zepbound, among the best-known examples. The drugs can also reduce [...]
