A long-standing assumption about intelligence is being challenged by a new perspective in neuroscience: the ability to combine familiar elements into novel, meaningful structures may...
Flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles are turning one of nature’s most efficient flight strategies into a new class of robotic technology. Inspired by birds, bees, and...
A new silicon photonic architecture could make optical convolution far denser and more adaptable, offering a potential path toward faster hardware for artificial intelligence, machine...
A burst of intense femtosecond laser light can make a semiconductor change its optical behavior almost instantaneously, according to a new study published in Light:...
A structured cat-training program for children with developmental disabilities produced measurable benefits for both sides of the human–animal relationship, according to a new study from...
Light sent through a seven-core optical fiber can spontaneously reorganize itself into a remarkably stable and evenly distributed pattern when the input power becomes high...
Transposable elements, once dismissed as genomic “junk,” are emerging as active regulators of cell identity, stress responses and disease. A new study published in Cell...
Genetic risk for autoimmune disease may be hiding in the spaces between genes. A study published in Nature Genetics has revealed how disease-associated DNA variants...
Antwerp, 4 August 2026 — The genome is often described as a linear sequence of DNA, but inside a living cell it behaves more like...
An Australian-first twin study is set to investigate why people with highly similar genetic backgrounds can respond very differently to infections, immune-mediated diseases and medical...
Obesity is often discussed in terms of excess body fat, blood glucose, and cardiovascular risk, but its effects extend deep into the body’s machinery of...
A new randomized controlled trial from Japan is putting two everyday habits—eating dairy products and performing resistance exercises at home—under the scientific microscope in an...
A new perspective in Light: Science & Applications is putting an ambitious idea at the center of vascular medicine: the possibility of creating continuously updated,...
Chronic kidney disease is often described as a disorder of filtration, but its consequences extend far beyond the kidneys. One of its most dangerous complications...
A tiny molecular machine that can switch circularly polarized light on and off in response to mechanical force has been developed by researchers in Japan....
