Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection. These shifts may have slowed brain development in children while boosting language and cognition. The findings suggest autism is part of the trade-off that made humans so cognitively advanced.

Ultra-processed foods make up the bulk of U.S. diets, and new research links high intake to inflammation, a predictor of heart disease. People consuming the most UPFs were far more likely to show elevated hs-CRP levels, especially older adults, smokers, and those with obesity. Scientists warn that UPFs may contribute to cancer and other chronic illnesses, urging stronger health policies despite pushback from powerful food companies. Read more ›

Researchers in Sweden and Finland have created the CORE model, a simple blood test that predicts liver disease risk with striking accuracy. Unlike current methods, it works for the general population and can be used in everyday primary care settings. With validation across multiple countries and a web tool already available, the breakthrough could lead to much earlier detection of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Read more ›

Researchers have discovered an unusual "quantum echo" in superconducting materials, dubbed the Higgs echo. This phenomenon arises from the interplay between Higgs modes and quasiparticles, producing distinctive signals unlike conventional echoes. By using precisely timed terahertz radiation pulses, the team revealed hidden quantum pathways that could be used to encode and retrieve information. Read more ›

A team of physicists has discovered that virtual charges, which exist only during brief interactions with light, play a critical role in ultrafast material responses. Using attosecond pulses on diamonds, they showed these hidden carriers significantly influence optical behavior. The findings could accelerate the development of petahertz-speed devices, unlocking a new era of ultrafast electronics. Read more ›
