Researchers suggest that old psychoanalytic ideas and modern brain science may be describing the same mental processes from different angles. More than a century after Sigmund Freud developed his influential theories of the mind, some researchers believe modern neuroscience may be arriving at surprisingly similar conclusions. A new paper published in the neurocognitive journal Entropy […]
Scientists Discover Surprising Similarities Between Freud’s Ideas and Modern Neuroscience
Researchers suggest that old psychoanalytic ideas and modern brain science may be describing the same mental processes from different angles. More than a century after Sigmund Freud developed his influential theories of the mind, some researchers believe modern neuroscience may be arriving at surprisingly similar conclusions. A new paper published in the neurocognitive journal Entropy […]
New 7-Dimensional Theory May Finally Solve the Black Hole Information Paradox
A new theoretical study suggests that black holes may never completely disappear, potentially offering a way to resolve the long-standing black hole information paradox. One of the biggest unsolved problems in modern physics, known as the “black hole information paradox,” may finally have a compelling solution. The proposed answer could also help explain where the […]
The Missing Notebooks That Solved a 25-Year-Old Paleontology Mystery
Field notebooks from the late Richard Köhler allowed researchers to finally catalog a remarkable fossil tarpon from Aotearoa New Zealand. Recently disclosed notebooks from a late paleontologist supplied the missing details researchers needed to complete their study of a “remarkable” fossil found nearly 30 years ago. Dr. Richard Köhler discovered the fossil fish in 1999 […]
Scientists Discover a Simple Writing Test That May Detect Cognitive Impairment
A simple writing task may offer clues about aging brains. Researchers found that dictation, in particular, exposed subtle differences linked to cognitive impairment. Handwriting depends on both fine motor skills and complex mental processes, including selecting, organizing, and interpreting sensory information. Because writing places heavy demands on the brain, changes in handwriting may help reveal […]

Scientists Made Older Mice Biologically Younger Using Gut Microbes
Scientists restored young gut bacteria in aging mice and saw signs of rejuvenation along with complete protection from liver cancer. Returning the gut microbiome to a more youthful state could help slow aging and lower the risk of liver cancer, according to research entitled “Restoration of a youthful gut microbiome reduces liver aging and suppresses […]
Stanford’s Revolutionary New Microscope Reveals Living Cells in Stunning Detail
Stanford researchers have developed a microscope that can show how nanostructures interact inside living cells at the highest resolution achieved so far. The view into living cells just got better. Stanford researchers have merged two microscopy methods to build a unique instrument that can capture cell structures interacting in real time at an unprecedented resolution […]
