Scientists discover hidden geometry that bends electrons like gravity

How can information move at incredible speeds, or electricity flow without wasting energy? Answering these questions has pushed scientists and technology companies toward quantum materials, whose behavior is governed by physics at the smallest scales. Building these advanced materials depends on understanding how atoms and electrons behave, an area where…

Scientists discover how to turn gut bacteria into anti-aging factories

Researchers have discovered a way to coax the bacteria living in animals’ digestive systems into acting like miniature factories that produce compounds linked to longer life. The findings point to a potential new approach for developing drugs that work by influencing gut microbes rather than directly targeting the body. The…

A hidden bat virus is infecting humans
