SEATTLE, WASH. — DECEMBER 23, 2025 — Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals). These whisper-quiet ...

Deep inside stars, giant planets, and even Earth’s core, matter exists in a strange in-between state—neither solid nor fully plasma. Known as warm dense matter, this extreme form of matter shapes how ...

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases — a task once thought too ...

A new study tested a device trained to translate four participants' inner thoughts. Andriy Onufriyenko via Getty Images In recent years, scientists have been working on technology that could help ...

Abstract: This paper describes a targeted drug design method based on a framework of multiscale encoder-decoder. Encoders are used to encode target gene and protein features. A decoder is used to ...

The puzzle seems impossible: take a three-billion-letter code and predict what happens if you swap a single letter. The code we’re talking about—the human genome—stores most of its instructions in ...

Earlier tonight, President Trump announced that the U.S. had launched strikes on critical nuclear sites in Iran. Trump spoke shortly after at the White House and JVL, Sarah and Tim reacted live ...

Sarah and JVL preview Tuesday’s newsletter with a discussion about the folks in a small, rural Missouri town who are shocked—shocked!—to discover that the Trump administration is deporting someone ...

How do you design a study that captures human experience as it unfolds in real time? In this episode, Under the Cortex explores the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), a powerful approach for studying ...

Researchers have developed an alternative method to encode information in synthetic molecules, which they used to encode and then decode an 11-character password to unlock a computer. The work is ...
