Scientists are still learning how spending prolonged periods of time in the microgravity of space can affect astronauts’ health. The environment has been shown to accelerate bone density loss and the ...

The Dehnel phenomenon is a case of extreme plasticity through which some mammals reduce and regenerate their brains according to the season. This mechanism allows species such as the common shrew to ...

Spaceflight takes a physical toll on astronauts, causing muscles to atrophy, bones to thin and bodily fluids to shift. According to a new study published in the journal PNAS, we can now add another ...

Astronauts’ brains can change shape and shift positions during stays in space, according to a new study with implications for NASA’s goals to conduct long-duration missions to the moon and Mars. The ...

OpenJDK project teams will focus work on features such as value types, code reflection, AOT compilation, and structured concurrency in the coming year. Oracle’s Java team in 2026 will work toward ...

The human brain processes information at different speeds depending on the situation, with some signals requiring immediate responses, such as reacting to a sudden sound or movement. Others develop ...

Tiny lab-grown brains are offering an unprecedented look at how schizophrenia and bipolar disorder disrupt neural activity. Researchers found distinct electrical firing patterns that could identify ...

The human brain is constantly processing information that unfolds at different speeds—from split-second reactions to sudden environmental changes to slower, more reflective processes such as ...

Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small brains. Changes in actin disrupted the orientation of early brain cell ...

AI on the JVM accelerates: New frameworks like Embabel, Koog, Spring AI, and LangChain4j drive rapid adoption of AI-native and AI-assisted development in Java. Java 25 anchors a modern baseline: The ...

CHICAGO (WLS) -- There is a new and major push to understand the level of microplastics in drinking water in Chicago and throughout the country. Politicians, advocacy groups, and governors, including ...

New research now suggests that our brains are still in the teenage phase until we “peak” in our early thirties. Researchers from the University of Cambridge looked at scans from around 4,000 people up ...
