Scientists Smash Superconductivity Record at Normal Pressure
Scientists have set a new record for superconductivity at normal pressure, bringing the field closer to practical, real-world applications. Researchers at the University of Houston have achieved a major milestone in the race toward practical superconductors, setting a new temperature record under everyday pressure conditions. The advance could eventually help reduce energy waste, lower costs, […]
100x Less Power: The Breakthrough That Could Solve AI’s Massive Energy Crisis
A new hybrid AI approach may drastically cut energy use while improving reliability. Artificial intelligence is not just changing software. It is also driving a sharp rise in electricity use. In the United States alone, AI systems and data centers consumed about 415 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency. That […]
Simple Brain Training Cuts Dementia Risk Decades Later, Study Finds
Speed-of-processing cognitive training in older adults significantly reduced dementia risk over 20 years, outperforming memory and reasoning training. Its adaptive, implicit learning approach may explain the benefit. Adults ages 65 and older who completed five to six weeks of cognitive speed training, known as speed of processing training, were less likely to develop dementia, including […]

A Simple Injection Could Help the Heart Heal Itself After a Heart Attack
A new RNA-based therapy aims to address one of cardiology’s most persistent challenges: the heart’s inability to regenerate after injury. After a heart attack, restoring blood flow is often only part of the battle. Even when blocked arteries are reopened, the heart is left with permanent damage because lost muscle cells do not grow back. […]
These Unusual Glaciers Don’t Behave Like Others – and Scientists Say They Are Incredibly Dangerous
A global analysis of more than 3,100 surging glaciers reveals a dynamic and unevenly distributed phenomenon that challenges conventional expectations about glacier retreat. While most of the world’s glaciers are steadily shrinking as temperatures rise, a small subset behaves in a very different way. These glaciers can suddenly accelerate, surge forward, and reshape entire landscapes […]
