Almost Everyone Carries Epstein-Barr Virus, But It May Hold the Key to Understanding Multiple Sclerosis Almost everyone carries Epstein-Barr virus. It causes the miserable few weeks of mononucleosis in adolescence, the swollen glands and bone-deep fatigue that keep teenagers home from school, then settles into immune cells for life, usually without further complaint. Yet for […]

An 11-qubit quantum processor has been successfully created by scientists in Australia utilizing phosphorus atoms embedded in isotopically-pure silicon-28. The team is optimistic that this system, which exhibits great resilience to noise, could scale more effectively than existing quantum computers using ion-trap qubits and the superconducting qubits that were awarded the 2025 Nobel prize in […]

If the future leans towards electricity, then there’s a pressing requirement for significantly more batteries. To achieve a threefold increase in renewable energy, as committed by 133 nations at COP28, battery storage capabilities must rise by six times by 2030, while the need for electric vehicle batteries is expected to expand seven times, based on […]

Anyone who has attempted to organize years of digital photographs understands the overwhelming sensation: storage capacity reached, with no straightforward method to navigate the chaos. Geneticists encounter a variant of this issue on a scale most cannot comprehend. The expense of sequencing a genome has plummeted so rapidly that researchers are now inundated with data […]

Computational analysis indicates that the anomeric effect results from a blend of factors and is not confined to hyperconjugation alone. Researchers assert that this ‘curiosity-driven’ investigation serves as a reminder to chemists that attributing the effect to one primary cause simplifies a ‘fundamentally intricate phenomenon’. The anomeric effect aids chemists in understanding why substituents adjacent […]

When an individual experiences significant weight loss, the advantages become evident in blood pressure metrics, cholesterol levels, and diabetes risk. But what transpires within the fat itself? For many years, researchers have speculated that fat tissue might retain a form of biological memory, clinging to the inflammation and dysfunction from its heavier days even after […]

You are aware that you are reading this statement. You can feel the chair underneath you, observe the illumination in the space, and recognize your own existence. However, if someone were to open your skull and inspect the three pounds of matter within, they would not discover a clear location where “you” starts. That space […]

That persistent sensation when leaving a crossword puzzle incomplete or halting an email partway through is not merely a personality quirk. Research indicates that the brain perceives incompleteness as a type of alert, triggering well before you have the chance to consider your to-do list. Since the 1920s, psychologists have recognized that individuals remember interrupted […]
