The Alzheimer’s field is being turned on its head as mounting evidence points to the disease beginning outside the brain many years before symptoms start. This may mean we have to totally rethink how we approach preventing and treating the condition

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 femtoseconds, researchers at the University of Cambridge observed…

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create adaptable electronic circuits with light.

Is this the secret to their longevity?

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help shape those signals. Scientists discovered that tissue stiffness can trigger the production of guidance molecules through a force…

If Rivian reaches its R2 sales target in 2026, it will be one of the fastest ramp-ups ever of a new EV in the United States.

China uncovers massive gold deposit 2,000 meters deep that could rank among the world’s largest reserves.

This is super cool!

For decades, this part of northern Germany was known for natural gas. Now the same deep underground system is drawing attention for a very different reason.

Between 1347 and 1353, Europe was gripped by the most catastrophic pandemic in its history: the Black Death. Killing many millions, the plague wiped out between one-third and a half of Europe's population.

VTT's second independent test shows Donut Lab's solid-state cell delivered 110% capacity at 80°C and survived 100°C discharge, but key claims remain unproven.

The Stillwater, Oklahoma-based company will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Texas Mineral Resources Corp. for about 3.8 million shares of USA Rare Earth common stock with an implied total deal value of some $73 million, said the people, who requested…

Developed by Empa researchers, the stretchable electrolyte can also be used in flexible batteries for medical applications.

Tiny shards of plastic called microplastics are all over the environment and even inside human bodies. Researchers have found a type of bioengineered algae that can clean up these pesky particles.

A new study investigated how the biggest solar storm in more than two decades impacted the Red Planet.

Rise accelerated by added restrictions on sales to Japan companies since January

At $45,000 and up, the Rivian R2 is walking into the most competitive segment in the American market and asking gas buyers to switch. The competition is deep. The RAV4 is the best-selling SUV in America. The CR-V Hybrid is the best driver in the class. The…

The pygmy long-fingered possum and the ring-tailed glider, until now known only through fossils, have been rediscovered.

Most space missions rely on chemical rockets for propulsion. Rockets must carry fuel, which increases spacecraft mass and limits their speed and travel distance. For decades, researchers have explored ...
