Scientists discovered a simple visual trick that helps people remember their childhoods more vividly. By showing adults a younger version of their own face moving in sync with them, researchers helped unlock rich, detailed memories from early life.
Scientists are calling for more collaborations between artists and researchers to rebuild public confidence in science. The strategy comes as funding cuts threaten research programs worldwide.
A major science organization is launching a digital series that shows how Earth science research translates into real solutions for communities worldwide. The series premiews in December 2026 and goes global in January 2027.
Scientists discovered that tau, long blamed for destroying memory in Alzheimer's patients, actually plays a critical role in healthy brains by helping select which neurons form lasting memories. The finding could reshape how researchers develop treatments for the disease affecting 6 million Americans.
Japanese researchers discovered a simple memory exercise that lowers stress hormones and rewires the brain to recall positive moments more easily. The training worked by strengthening neural pathways between emotional memory centers, offering new hope for people struggling with anxiety and depression.
Over 900 Calgary students from Grade 5 to 12 are presenting their self-designed science experiments at the city's largest youth science fair this weekend. Two Grade 12 students developed a promising wound infection detector using red cabbage extract after a cooking accident sparked their curiosity.
New research shows that memories you think are gone forever aren't actually erased. They're just dormant, and scientists now know how to help you bring them back.
Six international partners just pledged $42 million to fuel Africa's ambitious 10-year science and innovation strategy. The funding will help African nations build stronger research systems and solve local challenges through homegrown science.
A public health professor is slashing his annual research output from 15 papers to just seven, betting that quality beats quantity in science. His radical move challenges a system where some researchers now pump out more than 60 papers yearly.
A groundbreaking study of 26,362 adults over 40 found that people who reported using cannabis in their lifetime had larger brain volumes and scored higher on memory tests than non-users. The research challenges old assumptions about cannabis harming the brain, though scientists stress the findings don't prove cause and effect.
Scientists in China have discovered that memories solidify much faster than previously thought, in just one night instead of weeks or months. This breakthrough could transform treatment for millions of people with Alzheimer's, epilepsy, and brain injuries. #
Scientists discovered that a single 20-minute cardio workout sparked immediate brain activity linked to better memory and learning. The secret lies in "brain ripples" that help your mind organize and store information.

Trinity College just unveiled a privately funded plan to triple the Cambridge Science Park's size, creating 20,000 high-value jobs while opening a free public Park of Science to inspire local kids in STEM. The 50-year masterplan transforms Britain's oldest science park into a £3 billion innovation hub for life sciences, tech, and clean energy.
Scientists in Singapore discovered that a natural molecule already in our bodies can repair memory loss in Alzheimer's disease. Because it's safe and already present in humans, this breakthrough could lead to gentler treatments that protect aging brains.
Scientists have discovered the exact brain pathway that decides whether new experiences get filed separately or merged together—and they can control it in both directions. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, where memories blend together incorrectly.
China's largest research institution is redirecting funds from expensive Western science journals to build its own publishing system. The move could reshape global science publishing and make research more accessible worldwide.
Scientists discovered that tau, the protein linked to Alzheimer's disease, plays a crucial role in creating memories that last. The finding could reshape how we treat dementia in the future.
Stephen Wiltshire can look at a city skyline once and recreate it in stunning detail from memory alone. Diagnosed with autism at age 3, he turned his remarkable visual memory into a celebrated career capturing the world's most famous cityscapes.
A billionaire-backed vessel is revolutionizing marine research by pairing cutting-edge science with Hollywood-level storytelling. OceanXplorer partners with local scientists worldwide to explore the deep sea while sharing discoveries with millions online.
