Oxford scientists have found that sleep may be triggered by tiny energy leaks in brain cell mitochondria, suggesting our nightly rest is a vital safety mechanism for the body’s power supply. Credit: Stock A new study reveals that a buildup of metabolism in specialized brain cells is what triggers the need for sleep. Sleep may serve as more than rest …

A groundbreaking discovery by Canadian researchers has identified a microRNA capable of protecting delicate kidney blood vessels after injury, opening new possibilities for early diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease. Credit: Shutterstock Millions of kidney patients could benefit from early detection and prevention as a result of the breakthrough made by scientists at the CRCHUM. In a groundbreaking achievement, …

Scientists have trained a four-legged robot to play badminton against a human opponent, and it scuttles across the court to play rallies of up to 10 shots. By combining whole-body movements with visual perception, the robot, called “ANYmal,” learned to adapt the way it moved to reach the shuttlecock and successfully return it over the net, thanks to artificial intelligence …

Doritos have been a favorite snack around the world for decades. One of the dyes that gives the chips their bright pop just did something unexpected in a lab: it helped make mouse skin temporarily transparent, creating “see-through” mice. That dye is tartrazine, a vivid yellow-orange additive you’ll also find in some foods, medicines, and cosmetics. Mix a …

Facebook Tweet Email Link Glow-in-the-dark plants bright enough to light up streets at night may sound like the stuff of science fiction or fantasy. But scientists have already made plants that emit a greenish glow. They are even commercially available in the United States. A group of Chinese researchers has just gone even further, creating what they say are the …

Current weight-loss treatments like surgery or fat-blocking drugs can be risky, but researchers are testing a gentler alternative. They’ve developed edible, plant-based microbeads that bind to fat in the gut, preventing absorption. Credit: Stock Researchers have developed plant-based microbeads that block fat absorption in the gut. Current strategies for weight loss, such as gastric bypass surgery or medications that block …

Normally, I’d start this sort of article by saying something along the lines of, “Everyone knows how horrible it is to feel motion sick.” But that’s not entirely true—plenty of people can text, read, and do all sorts of things in a moving vehicle without feeling the slightest bit nauseous. If that sounds like you, you’ll have to trust me—a chronic …

By linking smaller superconducting modules like building blocks, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign achieved near-perfect qubit performance. Their modular approach could open the door to scalable, flexible quantum computers of the future. Credit: Shutterstock A modular quantum processor design shows ~99% fidelity. It paves the way for scalable quantum computing. What do children’s building blocks and quantum computing …
