An analysis of more than 1,000 gene activity profiles from mouse brains reveals shared molecular patterns that vary by sex and respond differently to experimental drugs. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a condition involving differences in brain development, has been linked to more than 1,200 risk genes. Studying mutations individually has revealed many effects on the […]
Scientists Reveal What Workout Recovery Techniques Actually Work
Ice baths, massage, compression gear, and supplements promise faster recovery, but the science shows that feeling less sore does not always mean your muscles have actually recovered. An ice bath may help sore muscles feel better after a hard workout, but using one too often could come with a trade-off. Less soreness now may also […]
A Quantum Prediction From 1931 Has Finally Come to Life
Physicists have observed “Bethe strings” in an ultracold gas nearly a century after Hans Bethe predicted them, providing a controlled setting for further study. In 1931, physicist Hans Bethe predicted that particles in certain quantum systems could bind together into groups called Bethe strings. These groups could exist only in one dimension, where particles move […]

Scientists Just Watched a Single Quantum of Sound Vanish for the First Time
Stanford physicists observed a tiny vibrating structure lose a single unit of sound energy in a sudden quantum jump. The finding could help advance quantum computing and precision sensing. A tiny mechanical resonator, a structure that vibrates like a tuning fork, has given Stanford researchers a close look at how sound disappears at the quantum […]
New Satellite Engine Could Use Earth’s Atmosphere as Fuel To Stay in Orbit Indefinitely
A satellite engine that uses atmospheric gases as fuel shows promise in laboratory tests and modeling, but its performance on a mission remains unproven. Choosing an orbit for a satellite involves balancing benefits and drawbacks. Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO), which spans roughly 100 to 450 km (62 to 280 miles) above Earth, offers several […]
Vitamin C Supplements Tied to Fewer Deaths in Blood Disorder Trial
A phase 2 trial linked vitamin C supplements to better survival in people with certain blood disorders, a finding that requires further study in a larger phase 3 trial. Vitamin C supplements were linked to better survival in a clinical trial involving people with precancerous blood conditions or low-risk blood cancers. The finding offers a […]
